Not to start a flame war, but open source software doesnt pay salaries... I dont see Verant as being overly greedy, they didnt have a cost hike on EQ for over 3 years despite all the new content and servers they added, and when they did, the price is still below alot of the other MMORPG's.

There are alot of people that feed their families with the work they do on EQ, so even if you don't like the company, at least respect what it represents. Hundreds of thousands of people spend MUCHO hours weekly playing that game, and net result, they pay around 10 bucks a month, less than the cost of a movie with popcorn and drink.

I wouldnt want to see Verant go under, I wouldnt want people to leave the live servers to play the emulated ones. Be glad that they are in business and successful, if they werent, there wouldnt be a DaoC, Star Wars Galaxies, Shadowbane, Earth and Beyond, etc.
