Question

It’s Daybreak’s IP, they can grant whatever access they want and restrict whatever access they want. Whether it’s about another company profiting or even just due to concern for damages.

P99 got a formal agreement rather than assuming it would be fine. Often in life it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission, not so much with potential IP infringement.

But in any case, beyond staff statements, it would also make sense. Daybreak runs progression servers that go through the full timeline. They would grant permission to P99 under a set of circumstances which would include a limitation on how far into the timeline P99's server could go.

Not impossible but TLPs are very different beasts IIRC they don't strive to be classic at all and a bunch of them have special rulesets. Not sure how much playerbase overlap there is. As long as p99 remains mostly true to classic they might have more liberty as daybreak doesn't seem to want to go down that path.

Yeah...Daybreak seems to view things not through a lens of mechanics and rulesets but simply "what expansions does this server cover". Honestly, from a legal perspective that's probably the most advantageous way for them to look at things as well. Starting to delve into mechanics and rulesets just opens them up to arguments for why people can use their IP without their permission (not good arguments...but arguments nonetheless).

Project 1999 is not technically a Private Server

It's a Museum

We're just allowed to play here. Server will be up if there are any players or not.
