The devs are playing with a newer Anniversary Edition as a base, but it might take some time to sort it all out. The source code shows the beginnings of it, but some have reported it's just not ready yet.

As for "dwindling populations", for me only being around a year I have to say the populations appear way UP right now from one year ago. I used to see servers with all 0's or 1-3 players online, except some of the preferred ones which were still not that impressive. Now, you can total nearly 200-300 players at any given time. To me, that seems like an increase.

This emu might never see it's SOE C&D days again, but I am happy it's around for when that dark day comes that EQLive is no longer worth SOE's budget. That's really all this is about to me.

Why will the end of Everquest Live be the dark days. Sure, a lot of people are still invested in the game, but at the current rate, Everquest is digging itself a grave. People don't leave a game because they are overjoyed. People leave because they are tired of the same. The end of Everquest Live will only mean a population increase here and more people willing to lend a hand. Do you still play EQLive?

Wizzel, if you are going to follow me around the forums and openly disagree with everything I say, I am going to develop a chronic dickhead complex.

If you are honestly asking why I think EQ's closure will be "a dark day", it is merely for the nostalgia of the game from a day when it WAS playable and enjoyable by so many for so long. Dark Day = End of an Era, which I guess to most has already happened.

As for my play time, I definitely do not "play" like I used to... but I am a guild leader still, and login regularly if for nothing more than to make my presence known and chat with the very few remaining friends I have that still log in.

Everquest is digging itself a grave.

Agreed. :(
