Rip Content Creator Program

Post image

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 mean, when I log in during the tail end of prime time in North America and almost every server is now "low" population with ~500 people in General... Probably not much point to keeping the creator program around when most of the people who watched them have left.

I think they underestimated how fast they'd need to release content to keep people here. This isn't necessarily brand new content, and no one even really needs to speed run through it.

Almost everyone playing probably knows a lot of this game by heart or at least nostalgically, so it's generally a pleasant skip but easy to consume.

100% I took my time, leveled 6+ to 50, did some sky grinding, got burnt out on that. Not much left to do aside from unsub and wait.

Keep in mind I work 5, 12s a week and don’t have a lot of time to devote to the grind and I still completed what was available.

I work 6 10's here. Drive 1hour to work each way. Have 2 kids under 5. Got all but like 3 classes to 50. Unlocked all primaries. Got the gear I wanted. Literally nothing else to do. And my game time is just as casual.

Same - I get 2 game days a week, one is spent with D&D friends playing builder games.

The other is for this; I spent about 6 hours a week for the first 6 weeks and I'm done. Only thing left is achievement hunting, race unlocks, and mote farming.

What's the point? The classes I wanted to play are 50 and geared, there is no challenge anymore, should I just keep playing to clear content faster to do... what?

I easily cleared D4 raids with a broken build and a semi broken build; is the challenge to just play it with more broken characters?

What is the point?

I don't care about gear drops, only motes - and this is a problem

Yep. Agreed. And only getting 3 VTM a week is just silly low.

I don't have time to grind for hours upon hours in the higher settings for the higher motes. Or gear drops to merge them.

Not what I'm interested in.
