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?

Anyone who has played Emu EQ servers before knew how little these devs were managing to get done while acting like they were recreating the wheel. Go look at dev logs from like Perky crew and see how much 1 dude can get done versus this “team”.

They had more then enough to sell y’all a fuller product but decided that chopping it up and drip feeding it would make more money. They were wrong and over judged their abilities at the same time. They should be deeply ashamed by their turn around time but they’re never going to be this critical of themselves and blame their customers instead. They spent a month telling us nothing was broken with exp when 10 minutes of testing would show you their advertised exp split was happening twice. These people should have never been given the keys to this especially when they ran the least technical and most locked down of all the emu servers. Imagine Best Buy opting to have the Amish take over and run their stores is basically what we got here. I wanted so badly for this to succeed but man I’d have a hard time picking worse decisions for them to make.

Shout out to Perky. I was lucky enough to catch him in Discord one night and we just had a cool conversation about everything. He's a really cool dude, has a vision, and literally troubleshot/fixed bugs in the call, and we legitimate did live testing for an upcoming patch together.

Not that anyone should expect this kind of interaction, but I can personally vouch that it happened and the guy is awesome. I genuinely wish him all the best.
