Nilbog and Rogean have literally been there in person with Daybreak employees, at the EverQuest Museum in San Diego. They had a section there where Project 1999 was displayed.
Holly Longdale has gone on record stating that she would rather see people interested in true classic EverQuest play on Project 1999 as they don't have the resources to provide a true classic experience.
John Smedley was the one who orchestrated the deal and every time a C&D went to his desk for legal approval, he'd stand up for EQEmu stating that they're just hyper fans of the game.
They're a lot more open than when they were Sony-owned.
This thread is fearmongering.
