Has anyone that played on WR server been on the IRC channel? I've been looking for more info as to where the situation currently stands. Been on the channel wiz put out but havent seen anyone there.

Unfortunately the tone of this IRC blog suggests Wiz is using this as a way to springboard into their new project, and are not expressing much interest in protecting WR for future development. This is a shame because there are many of us who've been developing characters on WR for over a year.
A huge part of the appeal of WR was all the fond memories of playing EQ. A new custom game(with new artwork) will be sorely lacking in the nostalgia department.
