Project 1999, Daybreak, and Velious

[fastboy21]

This has so much potential.

Nilbog and Rogean (and all the staff who made p99 a success) deserve a real congratulations.

This is unprecedented. I'm especially loving the fact that they could realistically turn to p99 as a source to help recreate classic EQ on live. Wow. Just wow.

From a hobbyist's point of view (loving EQ) this is just so cool...congrats guys.

P99 can't sell Titanium, but Daybreak could.

I can't decide whether to go with 2 accounts or 3.

good news and well done to P1999 and DBG staff for reaching this agreement.
having the emu server regularised is a very good thing.

I may even sign up for the "official" progression server now.

Ideal world (for me) would be P1999 staff running a progression server all the way to catch up with live.
This would mean luclin / POP etc advancements, but with GMs running it who give the super level of service and attention to detail that makes P1999 so good a server.

I would def pay for P1999 GM mentality combined with official expansions

Daybreak (SOE) is releasing a new live EQ time locked progression server in the coming weeks/months. It will require a subscription fee, but will eventually catch up to live EQ.

So what is going to happen with P99? I'm sure daybreak doesn't want something else competing with there "progression" server. Or are they going to be keeping P99 alive and well?

P99 has been good for DBG, lots of free advertising for a game long considered dead. New progression server will no doubt bring back subs for them.

Smeg(I like this typo.. sorry Smed) and co have a good history dealing with emu's like SWGemu. As long as they're run well like swgemu and p99 (not like swg bloodfin) It's good for everyone.

The first post says...

"As a show of good faith to support the efforts of Daybreak Games, we have decided to reschedule our expansion release as to not conflict with the upcoming new progression server being released in the coming weeks."

I understand that velious is being pushed back for p99 as to not interfere with daybreaks progression server release but if they are starting a progression server why even keep P99 around?
