Question on longevity of the server

[FilthyBeaver]

Hello everyone!

I just started here on blue p99 just a few days ago, made myself a iksar necromancer and I must say I'm so impressed with how beautiful this game has been brought back to life!
My question is, how long does this server really expect to be around for? I understand velious is "soon" and I hope it lasts for just as long if not longer than kunark has. (I know it's most likely boring for some of the veterans of this server) but my big fear is I'll put a ton of time here. Get max level on a few toons over the year(s) then poof, everything is gone see ya nice to know ya. I wouldn't be to concerned if it were some garbage mmo like wow or something where it takes a sitting or two to make max level it feels like. But when you pour time and dedication into this game and it gives it back it's not something I want to lose out on.
So I guess my ultimate question is, should I stick around for all this time? Again I know most of you all have poured more time into this than I will ever catch up to. But it is definitely a concern on my mind so I wanted to see what others thought.
Thanks for any feedback!
