Not a big surprise... How long until liquidation of Daybreak occurs?

I completely forgot about it. Seems they were trying something a bit different, but it may have been a bit too ambitious.

Funny. Keeping fingers crossed for Pantheon i guess

(not really because i won't have time/effort to play anything like that but it's fun to think about)

They'll milk as much as they can from the monthlies and then sell it all off in pieces. A year or two max is my guess.

What up Vaelie!

Yeah i always thought EQ Next looked awful, personally. They shouldn't try to make new EQ games. The two they already got are their cash cows and basically that company's only source of income. Smedley is a douche and will run it into the ground eventually. Thankfully p99 is still here

I reinstall eqlive and mess around once or twice a year and it is just really awful now. They have more content than any game should ever have, so you'll almost never find anyone doing what you want to do outside of the most current expansion. Hotzones haven't changed for almost 3 years. Every class can solo and put out shitloads of DPS now so no one groups, just box armies everywhere. And a bunch of community people and GMs just got laid off, iirc. I think there are less than 15 people working on that game now

I still get the nostalgia bug all the time and wanna go kill aviaks in lake rathe, but gaming has changed so much. I can't spend seven hours camping one spot anymore or losing hours of progress if i can't get a rez

I remember I grouped with Zennish once and some dude was trying to figure out if Zennish was a real girl to which he replied "I've got a huge pussy." Can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday but I remember stupid group chat from almost 20 years go.

You can never go back. We've romanticized the experience so much in our memory no game can ever compare.

hahaha

Vanguard came damn close for me.
