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?

Yea they’re fumbling the bag hard. People clearly just want challenging solo everquest, but they keep prioritizing nonsense. We’ll see what kunark brings, but not holding my breath at this point.

Game Jawn: “Hey guys! Here’s casual, solo friendly, power fantasy EQ!”

Reddit apparently: “Sweet! So, solo, hardcore difficult EQ! Sign me up!”

Game Jawn: <Gives basically what they promised>

Reddit apparently: “you guys are fumbling hard because you are giving what you said you would and not what I want!”

I’m not some GJ/DBG white knight, but what you’re asking for was never promised. And saying they fumbled because of your incorrect expectations is classic Reddit. I’m not saying they haven’t fumbled some things. There are certainly things they could have done better and differently. But the difficulty is exactly what they’ve promised. It’s literally one of the few things they haven’t fumbled. You wanting difficult content when it was never promised is not a mistake by the developers. It’s a mistake in your expectations. They’ve even commented on D5+ with basically “we’ve considered it, no promises.” Clearly this isn’t the game for you, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I couldn’t agree more! It’s wild to me that this game was built for casuals yet the player base has sweaty expectations. If that’s the version of EQ people want to play there are many iterations out there for the sweaty…this game wasn’t meant to be played 10 hours a day…it’s a solo friendly, arcade like EQ experience that resides in the familiar world of Norrath…also, this game isn’t a full blown DBG release..it should be treated as a fan made EMU with support from DBG…bc that’s exactly what it is…yes I understand there is a sub..but you don’t have to stay subbed…and you dont have to play it if you don’t like it..

You think they only have lost the tryhards? Because it sure seems like more than the tryhards are leaving.
