EQ Emulator Winter's Roar Shut Down

Posted by Zonk on from the no-more-illegal-hijinks dept.

grumpygrodyguy writes "Fans of Everquest emulation were dealt a blow today as Sony Online Entertainment threatened Winter's Roar into shutting down their server. WR was home to approximately 350 players and a labor of love for the developers who spent hours a day for nearly 3 years improving this unique game world. WR was a not-for-profit MMORPG that allowed players to play for free as long as they owned the original Everquest client up to and including the Luclin expansions. SOE has threatened WR's hosting company EV1 with legal action unless it ceases and desists service immediately."

    I would have loved to see this go to court , unfortunately they most likely could not afford to do this so rather than risk anything they have to simply comply .
    Justice ,for the rich.
