Nothing gold can stay, it seems.
EverQuest on the Macintosh, affectionately dubbed
EQMac, was announced as facing a shutdown in wake of the game's impending free-to-play transition.
John Smedley confirmed this, players mourned, and our own stalwart
Game Archaeologist lamented its passing. And so, as the game approaches its final month, Smedley has...
apparently rescinded the entire thing via a late-night Twitter post that has taken the entire
EQMac community by surprise.
Yes, there is apparently both a Santa Claus and a Tooth Fairy, because John Smedley has stated that not only are the
EQMac fans "a wonderful group of players," the game will be left running. Better yet, it will continue to run as-is and with no subscription fees. If you're part of the fanbase, no, you don't need to pinch yourself, this is actually a thing that is happening. Further details are to be announced soon, but
just the facts alone should make fans very happy.
