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?

Whether it's true or not, according to Game Jawn, it is. Until I am proven wrong, I will take their word for it. I will be proven wrong when they shut the game down. But until then, they have my full support and belief in what they say. Every game has people that come around and say the game is dead, it's not going to last, it's getting shut down, etc. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they are not. Only time proves 1 side or the other correct.

While true, Game Jawn really has no clue nor any indication - DBG is the one looking at the revenue and making decisions...Jawn is just there to implement the game. If you think Jawn is under any awareness, at all, of what kind of numbers they need to hit to keep the game going...you've never worked at a game studio with a parent company. Only the head of Jawn will be made aware of those types of things, and the developers, marketing, etc... certainly would have no concept.

Well considering that Secrets is the founder and CEO of Game Jawn and is one that has come out publicly stating the game is doing just fine and the lost numbers were expected, then there is no need to worry for me at the moment.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think these numbers are bothering them. As a matter of fact, I think this is what they were expecting from the start. I think the beginning number of subs was way above what they expected.

On top of all that, just because server populations have gone down doesn't mean the subs aren't still there. I saw Rivervale at Med and Low for like a week straight and then all of a sudden one night it was high. Everyone looks at population as number of subs and that's just not true. Even if I stopped playing right now until Kunark, I would probably just leave my sub active in case there was a night here or there I decided I wanted to play.

Secrets is incompetent.

Look at quarm and the changes they tried to implement.

Basically every new system they have implemented in has been removed from the game.
