Exciting news to hear about the good-faith agreement with Daybreak. With them officially recognizing p99 as a 'fan-made classic emulator', will there be any potential collaborations in the future between you guys and them? Will it make getting the client a little bit easier, and perhaps client changes any easier?
Also shame about pushing the winter back but it's understandable. MOAR BETA!

Does the agreement only cover content through Velious?
I know there has never been a plan for P99 to go further, but the future is always in motion. If at some point you wanted to move P99 to the next expansion, could you? | ||

Expected.

Perhaps a 4 month forced beta would help make sure the launch can live up to these expectations?

This is incredible news. Though I realize a ton of folks won't understand why, the reality is the snap of a finger Daybreak could have immediately had this server shut down. Smedley is and has always been a rational man who despite a lot of folks personal feelings I have always and still do believe above all wants gamer's to have the experiences they want. I believe he realized that THIS server in particular provides something they simply don't have the manpower to create and support, and as such allowed this server to exist and thrive.
With the sale to DayBreak when I heard the Velious Launch, and how closely it will coincide with their planned Progression Server I immediately didn't believe that would bode well with Daybreak. Obviously they are spending a sizable amount of time and effort with their reduced staff to provide their player base with what they wanted (a new progression server) they need a return on that effort, and the release of Velious here would without question cause a conflict of players resubbing to enjoy that server. Ultimately this is absolutely the healthiest choice for EVERYONE P1999 and EQLIVE players. Yes it's sad we won't see Velious for awhile, but BIG PICTURE. P1999 is alive, and is now onboard with Daybreak as they were with SOE which is enormous. All in all, this incredible news in the long run. Kudo's to P1999 staff for coming to an agreement, and an extreme kudos for Daybreak for doing the right thing for the folks who love and are so passionate about this era of the best game ever made. If any of you are reading this, thank you from all of us! Shampaigne (P1999 Noob, but already my home...) http://www.twitch.tv/end__of__line__ | ||
