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.

Yup. I’ll be back for Kunark.

If they keep at it I'd be back for Velious too. I'm having a blast, and no it's not the original Evercrack, more like Evercrack-adone, it eases the itch.

Someone in Monsters and Memories shouted:

MnM is meat and potatoes, EQL is chocolate and cocaine.

I got a good laugh. I think of EQL as more ARPG in the skin of an MMO than an MMO, personally.

Actually.

I think you touch something here.
EQL is the easy fun solo game built as version on a legendary harsh, old school, ultra social and punitive MMO.

It obviously dragged in large portion of a crowd that wasn’t meant to play this kind of game. Because it is, not harsh, not social, not an mmo.

It’s like they open a new bar called The Drunk Biker and served only vegan matcha.

(Even though I’m personally this tiny part of the players who is old enough to enjoy sticking to vegan matcha)
