First, i would say that i agree with the general opinon expressed in this forum topic...
I also consider that as a bad decision
BUT i'm not going to blame verant/sony when speaking about eqemu.
It would be nice if you could be a little tollerant about that, for many reasons :
- it doesn't concern directly eqemu users. Anyone who payed for eq1 can use it, so i think it's off-topic to blame sony with something about eq2.
- verant/sony looks a little tolerant with eqemu itself... could the eqemu communauty be a little tolerant with eq II ? Compare the situation with blizzard/Vivendi and the "bnetd" battlenet server emulator, you will see how lucky we are (
http://www.bnetd.org/)
- what would be EQemu without EQ ? this is exactly the same question : What would be eqemu without sony/verant ?
- as eqemu is eq1 emulation only, i think a psychological subconscient thing is pushing eqemu users to be a little more nasty with eq2.
