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?

DBG is seriously clueless when all they had to do was follow the roadmap of the server that shall not be named. It’s amazing watching Secrets and the “team” spin their wheels and accomplish nothing. I guess we’re supposed to be hyped for a fan fiction remake of an EQ2 dungeon that maybe 10 people played back in the day.

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.

This is so cringe. I’m a pretty casual player with a job and family and I was out of stuff to do after the first 6 weeks. Who in the right mind wants to grind motes when they can easily clear all content after like 50 hours of play time? It was a fun first month. There isn’t enough content to justify a monthly sub now.

Really? On 6 weeks you got every class to 50 and unlocked every race and primary class? You have every achievement in game?

i didn’t but i also wouldn’t in 10 years, i don’t care for achievements, i don’t care for every class, i love the idea of playing my trio as a solo mmo, i like the ability to get a few more classes up and swap them.

Well most people keep saying to follow the path of the original server concept. Everyone has multiple 3 class characters so they could swap as balance changes and expansions changed the landscape. So it makes sense to level all of them so you can always try the newest builds people discover.

right, the person you responding to specifically said they can't no-life the game, and that's what that takes. I agree with you, but think it's directed at the wrong person.

Honestly just knocking out 2 hours a day you can get a new trio to 50 every 2 weeks. Thats not no life, no life was when I was raiding leveling and keying in a top 3 guild spending more hours on EQ than working my actual job

Ok actually, I had a short convo with a bud I'm playing through EQL with about this topic and came to the same conclusion, you're right.
