    Not surprised on the layoffs. I picture them canceling EQ next development soon.

    Or we'll see EQ Next Kickstarter :)
     
  4. SoE was bought, which includes EQ Next and H1Z1. So not surprising to see changes going on from the new owner.
     
  5. I think a big question is are they cutting the fat off or making a lean studio even leaner for profit driven motivation?

    Pretty much could guess this was coming the kind of group that bought them don't tend to keep the companies they buy for very long, another few months or so and probably start hearing about some of or all the IPs getting sold off.
     
  8. It's not like they were doing a good job to begin with. Maybe we'll get someone who actually works on H1Z1.

    Fuck H1Z1, they pretty much buried one of their biggest franchise, Everquest.
    I doubt we'll ever see a proper and decent EQ squall now.
     
  10. I knew EQ Next was vaporware the minute they released landmark and started crowd-sourcing their content generation

    this ^^. Its a shame but my first real love for MMO's died when landmark flopped hard.
