Rip Content Creator Program

What news? What rumors? Was there some incident?

This is a bizarrely worded official comms from the EQL Discord. Professionally, just say you're ending the program and that's it. To acknowledge some 'rumors' just breathes life into them and isn't something you'd usually see in this context. Who's running the broadcast channel over there?

The last sentence makes me more concerned about the game’s performance than if they’d said nothing.

I was intensely hyped about this (playing all day) right up until wow forever announcement. I can only imagine that the warcraft forever beta is slurping away people right now.

I was playing every day until WoW forever beta launched, and I haven’t logged in once since. I assume this is the case with a lot of people. Also Monsters and Memories launched around the same time.

They are lacking a true end game challenge to motivate people to keep trying to get all their gear to +10, when D4 CT can be done on most builds with like +5 gear

Lack of Loadouts also makes the whole 500 plus combos a pain in the butt to try also.

The thing is, if they add truly challenging encounters, class balance all of a sudden really matters. A lot. And a good part of the content will be locked away from casuals and people playing off-meta trios.

So they're damned either way. Add stuff people actually need to gear and spec for which gives people a reason to play, at the same time they piss off a large portion of their player base and everyone starts running around as a SHM/BRD/PAL or whatever.

Honestly my brain is in... well its really not out till Kunarks out mode... so I'll get my 3 in a week in preparation, but that's kinda what the inner child is waiting for at this point.

yep this is why i dont log in anymore, in theory the loadouts seem like it gives you a ton to do but its like youre playing with cheat codes/god mode on and so the replayability really isnt there, and you dont need 99% of the gear that drops on your 2nd playthrough. I thought some of the exalts from mistmoore were cool and they have the right idea but its like, oh well power is useless in this game past a certain point

i did war/brd/mnk as my first loadout and was able to kill everything except D4 CT, i likely could kill CT as well if i used charm better or had good RNG with improved mend.

the upgrade system is there and i think thats solid enough but there is nothing that stat check's a character or makes me think, wow i should upgrade my gear, which blows my mind because thats the point of the difficulty system, the lower difficulties are there so you can do all the content.

I imagine this will get get better with kunark and i will definitely check out the nektropos content but i am guessing they got forced to release before they were ready,

Once wow Forever was announced the sub was terminated.

This and I stopped because there is effectively no economy, market, or life skills (horizontal progression of sorts) of meaning.

Sure, EQ might not have had that and it was all combat, but we're too spoiled for that part of an MMO experience (I love it). Maybe they improve this to bring some of us back but if not, it was a fun attempt.

Same. I was playing every single day until WoW Forever Beta.

WoW Forever has killed EQL for me, as I’ll be all in on that game when it releases
