I would guess Daybreak did not want to shut P99 down because that would just enrage the community against them, but 'no more servers or we shut it down' seems likely.
I'm sure Daybreak see's 1500 people logged into P99 and thinks to themselves - "Hrrmm, that's almost $200,000 in yearly profit if we could convert that population into $10 per month subscribers...."
I have not played actual "live" EQ in a very long time but I can't imagine its doing well. The TLPs seem to be where the profits for them are and P99 can be seen as competition for that.

What always was a deal-breaker for me for any of those live TLP servers is the little things. Non-classic old world zones, probably new skellys, all the other little changes that added up to be big changes altogether. What truly boggles my mind is how does a volunteer program like Project 1999 re-create classic EQ NEAR perfectly down to all those little things, and the actual devs such as daybreak can't do this?
Tbh I'd at least attempt to play on a daybreak server if it had the purity of a project 1999 server. New Freeport and new ro/oasis/commonlands trigger me so hard
