Expect to hear that the original EverQuest and Dragon's Prophet are closing down, that they have no plans to do anything further with DCUO, and H1Z1 might suddenly run into "troubled development". I'm telling you, this studio was bought for EverQuest Next and that's it.

Probably. 
Oh wells, that means room for a good mmo zombie survival game opened up.  My time to shine.

Expected. I figured it would take longer to find the dead weight. I guess management already had a list.

My program was bought out at the end of December and still have yet to see anyone get let go, it's coming tho. Just taking the new company a while to see who fits and doesn't.

The EverQuest name is the only thing that ever really brought them money.
