Wow, this was an interesting read. Basically details how EQNext and then Landmark were hamstrung from early on at SOE and later at Daybreak.
The most telling stat from the article, at peak prime times, Landmark has an average of 150 players logged in. One hundred and fifty. Given that it’s B2P ($10 for Johnny-Come-Lately, as much as $100 for those who got sold the long con by SOE), I can’t imagine it was making ANY money at this point. Another interesting number from the article, SOE made nearly $10 million from the sale of Founder’s Packs for Landmark/EQN.
Anyway, with that information in hand, it doesn’t seem like Landmark’s closing is anything more than a sound business decision long overdue, and isn’t going to lead to the closing of any other properties (EQ/EQ2/LOTRO/DDO/etc.) anytime soon.
