    Cool, they’ve broken XP functionality…but what will be the benefit to the rest of us?

    Maybe they can fix the portion of their badly programmed code that causes CPU temps to spike from 85F to 175F whenever the EQ2 client is launched?

      Modern apps have no reason to support XP, it’s honestly amazing it took them this long to drop support. Everything else in the universe dropped support for it years ago.

        Everquest 2 is hardly a ‘modern app’.

          The latest build of the game is dated June 10th 2016. Sounds like a pretty up to date app to me, no reason to keep supporting an archaic OS that no one should still be using.

            10 print “Modern App”;
            20 goto 10
            run

            I just created a modern app! It was created the date of this post.. so it has to be modern… right?

            What does that have to do with what I said? You either purposefully ignored it or are trying to say I was making an argument I wasn’t. Either way pls stahp.
