Wow, there's a lot of anger, hate, and malicious comments here. Apologies, I didn't mean to bring out the most cruel intentions of fellow gamers.
How was I supposed to know they "reverse engineered" things? It's not exactly in the fine print. It was a harmless post bragging about how the p99 devs kept everything so polished, and having enjoyed the OG game, would continue to enjoy it.
Shame on all of you intent on being mean for the purpose of simply being cruel.

Most of the comments were helpful (suggesting similar servers that do go beyond SoV) or in agreement. Some reminisced of the early days of the project.
I feel you may have misread the tone should you feel you were being treated meanly. I wholeheartedly apologise if I made you feel uncomfortable in anyway. I just wanted to ask you, in good humour, whether you had considered what you were demanding of others (by demanding it of you). Sorry again if my mirror was upsetting.
You’re right, the fact the server is a huge piece of reverse engineering isn’t in the fine print - it is in the welcome banner on the home page of the project. In case you haven’t read it:
“Our goal is to restore the magic and difficulty of the original Everquest game, including the mechanics, interface, and challenges of Original Content, Kunark, and Velious. Project 1999 is the most popular and most accurate reincarnation of Old School Everquest.”
Sadly creating a emu server isn’t as simple as installing the trilogy disc and running server.exe. It has taken a decade to imperfectly recreate up to Velious.
See you in game (whether here or takp).
