P99 Devs will never add any custom content (outside of Rooting dragons lul) because they are only interested in re-creating classic the EverQuest client as it existed from 1999-2001. They have successfully done this, and are only going to continue to fine-tune said client so that it matches perfectly (as far as content) the experience you would have had in 1999 - 2001. Similar to how TAKP offers a niche with an older client.

Eh, the staff has said they would be open to custom content in the past. It's not a matter of classic vs. unclassic to them (they would only implement it on Blue apparently), it's a matter of time and amount of work.

Will be interesting to see if the actual legal agreement comes to light during the course of the lawsuit between daybreak and THJ project. I would imagine an attorney for THJ would find tremendous value of bringing up evidence of Daybreak condoning fan-based emulatiuon projects existing using their IP as a defense for THJ's existance.

It wouldn't be relevant. It's not even the same people who gave P99 permission to operate and sign the contract. It's different people running the IP holder who are locked into the P99 contract as part of their acquisition of the IP. Further, even if it were the same people still running things, giving one party a waiver to operate on your IP has no relevance to whether you can sue someone else for infringing on it (as long as it's not trade secret, which this isn't it's a pure IP case)...you're allowed to do whatever you want with your IP, including making decisions as to which third parties are allowed to use it and which ones aren't.

maybe the CSR staff, yeah - but did the devs mention this? id think Nilbog and Rogean arent interested in custom content

Nexus... maybe.
AA's.. unlikely but I wouldn't completely rule them out.. maybe a small amount of them.

But reusing plane of power zones and attaching them to existing zonelines spread out across the current norrath, definitely a possibility. Those zones look great, and lots of room for content. All the mobs and itemization would be custom to stay in line with velious level RvR.

That being said, they haven't recently expressed any interest in the above.

yah that was before their agreement with Daybreak / Darkpaw whatever it was back then - pretty sure the agreement must have included not adding any custom/QoL content, to distinguish it enough from Live and TLP, specifically so that p99 only fills a specific niche that DBG does not see as:

a) worthy of spending resources building a new client for
b) a threat to their TLP strategy

they let the sweatiest players kill each other and stress out the volunteer staff on P99 so they dont have to hear from us

[cd288]

Rogean and Nilbog have both said post-Daybreak agreement that they could do custom content on Blue.

I doubt it would ever occur because it would be a ton of work. But again, if they did I would assume they would absolutely check in with Daybreak about each addition.

You probably work at Walmart, do not speculate. Rogean is a child savant who runs one of the biggest hedges on wall street.

Not public. They have stated it allows them to operate through Velious and not beyond. BUT, they have also stated in the past that it doesn't prohibit them from adding "custom" content. For example, I'm assuming they could add a couple zones from the classic map that didn't get added until later (if they ever wanted to take on that big project).

I would guess that if they ever did any sort of custom content thy would clear it with the IP holder first.

Can you refer to the post that says p99 cannot go past velious? Not saying it doesnt exist but I have never seen it

Would probably have to go through years worth of posts and TBH I'm not going to do that haha.

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.

It would have been posted many times here and on various discord channels by now if it existed, my friend.

Yeah because in that it makes total sense that before the agreement Rogean and Nilbog had been open to adding certain aspects of Luclin and PoP and after it was signed they said Velious only. Right.
