Rumor posted on rpgexpert

[Ouchyfish]

Well all, I tapped into my connections. Updates are coming slow due to lack of morale on the devs side. Sony loses some sort of copyright on EQ sometime in December, basically meaning that EQ will become generally free, or they will make it free wit the purchase of EQ2. Many devs, and other affiliated members are in risk of losing their jobs, and probably dropping like flies looking for "other" forms of employment. Ashlanne wont tell you this, because she knows it will start an uproar from all you offensive mentality people, and once again put her on the defensive. Its ok Ashlanne, and any other forum moderator. The truth will set you free. This is "leaked" info, so I cannot reveal names due again to the dev's sweating bullets about their jobs, and the food that it buys for their kids that have to eat if you follow me. Read-up, this is on the deleted list lol cheers m8

Except the Intellectual property that is Everquest will not become Public Domain after 5 years.

Anyways, its not like EQs copyright hasn't already been ignroed, with DAOC, Sigil, WOW and other EQ Clonegames...

Ashlanne (who used to be the head GM) is one of the sweetest nisext people I know. I have met her in RL, and she has taken me on a tour of the SOny building, and drank with us at the Fan Faire's People give her too much shit, and she doesnt deserve it.

If EQ went open source I think Id pop a nut.

[Dylan]

Free EQ? Thats fucking gay.

We have enough newbie faggots as it is.

[Ouchyfish]

One thing I have learned from playing on a few different "blue" servers: The Nameless has got to be one of the uglier servers in the game when you average out pro v. con of the attitudes of the majority of players.

Before anyone goes and gets their feelings hurt, understand that I said "majority". If you feel your guild of 40+ folks are all the greatest people in the world, they probably are. However they are also in the minority.

[Jeddas]

Ive played on various servers.. I would in no way put nameless last place, but nor first.

Free EQ? Thats fucking gay.

Imagine all the wonderful D2/SC players (hundreds of thosands) that would love to flock over to a server near you because it suddenly became the next dump site. >< My hope to stop seeing newbies died when I met someone time flaged + large aa's and he was still a fucking tard, in all aspects of the word.

Funny the coolest people I know are the least progressed and the most played ;d

[Ouchyfish]

No never said it was the worst, just the worst of the 4-5 that I have played on with the same population.

[Dylan]

Cazic Thule is the worst I have seen ever. I have about 16 hours played on my new character there and already have seen countless retards in PoK ooc saying stupid shit, several people telling me they are gonna ban me for stupid shit (like declining group invites) and a few people that didn't know where Mistmoore is at level 60.

The few.. the proud.. the super newbs.

I faintly recall the deadly fear of getting baned for refusing to drop my group so I can run cross the zone to rezz/buff for free.

with how eq is today, your suprised people 60+ dont know where mistmore is ? Mistmoore is no where near, PC, DC or outlands, PoN, Pov/Bot~ why would you go there? i wonder if people even still goto HS, id like to play on the kunark or lower guild, but i dont always have comp access.

I have played 4 years, where the fuck is the outlands again?

[Jeddas]

I bet you can count the number of people to enter HS per/month on average with one hand.

heh now they tryin to get you to find these zones.. whenever you ding like 20 they say "hey, come out and try (zone_01) -directions-".

Beat me to making a smart ass comment... I think he meant Dreadlands...

[Sarash]

Geee...

Imagine what the world would be like if MS Windows became free after 5 years... Oh, yeah, right... that's NEVER going to happen.

If EQ is going to be free after 5 years, why wasn't UO made free after 5 years?

It's not like EQ is a drug formula (like Viagra) that allows exclusive rights for 5 years to the company that developed it before having to be released to the companies that make generics.

We can file this rumor in the "load of bull" section now.

I would pay money to get software directly from sony to run my own servers.

They could provide support etc. However limited.

[Martrae]

Actually HS is still used...not like it used to be but there were actually 10 people in zone last night.

I don't believe this for one minute !

[Langston]

People camping the drop for the VP key, probably.
