Whatever happens, I hope red99 continues to thrive and the teams server happens and becomes a success. SOE had a track record of ruining their pvp content and then simply shutting down the servers when no one wanted to play them anymore.

Well - If I were Daybreak and wanted to take over p99 I would buy the real assets - the p99 staff.
I would hire the p99 staff and ask them to make a Daybreak server in the spirit of p99. A progression server following the exact timeline and with all expansions. Never been done - and with enough manpower and the access to source code I think it could be achieved. I know I would play that server....I would pay to play that server. | ||

Within a year they'll start rolling out Luclin, PoP, etc and charge $9.99 per download. So... basically... you want a full progression server hosted by Sony/Daybreak. Good news bro, your perfect server starts in June. Sad to see you go but best of luck. | |||

Daybreak does have archives as far back as 1999, but not like you think.
For example, the recent patches Dzarn made to Live (That I considered porting over to P99) that fixed all the black spots on old models also put in a complete overhaul of animations fo most Luclin models that were originally intended to be the model animations at Luclin release but they changed them for one reason or another. It also put in several changed textures including a 'nightmare pegasus' [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] New beetle and pixie textures (additions, not replacements) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The missing High elf merchant models [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Kazon Stormhammer's unique model [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] and King ak'Anon's unique model [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] All of which had been sitting unused in a 'vault' since 1999. Never implemented for whatever reason. They also have the Firiona Vie unique model (minus animations) they used in a screenshot on the back of the Luclin box that never went in. However, model and zone backups and archives aren't necessarily code. Point being they DO keep backups and archives tucked away from the days the game released, but if you're expecting them to have entire server code back ups that is highly unlikely, they may not even have EQMac's set up anymore. And that only sunset a couple years ago
