Q: Is the recent decision by Mythic to release an altered-rules server a good move for them?
A: It's an attempt to "unring the bell", roll time back to when the population of the game was a lot higher. When the 800 pound gorilla of WoW stomped a 2 million subscriber hole in the market for EQ clones, with a budget in the tens of millions, it became a lot less viable to try to compete directly with that kind of gameplay. It's potentially a good move, the question is if it is already too late. The current Live team has their work cut out for them, and I wish them well (I still have several friends working on it).
