    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    There is NOTHING that can be improved in EQ Live today - its a bloated monster with 700 zones that have no practical purpose. Its only realistic usage to keep adding high end content for hard core raiders. No new player in their right mind would join a game where 95% of population sitting at...

    Opps, my error on "paying subs" - still attuned to the old way of thinking. But sheer number of people still playing (even if its only 100k per game), + trinkets cash shop, still makes number of people playing on Emu irrelevant.

    This I definitely I agree too. There are so many small things that's just dumb and should have been corrected years ago, I doubt it was outside Dev team jurisdiction to correct them. Whenever it Brad, Smed, SOE, or who ever - they only got themselves to blame for where they are now.

    Since I was 14 years old, I dreamed about working for Game company, until I realized what is written above - I will NEVER be making the game I want to make. There will always be someone, who doesn't even know difference between StarCraft and Pokemon, looking over my shoulder telling me: "I don't...
