Project 1999, Daybreak, and Velious

[Grimjaw]

its the opposite of what bulcan said. if daybreak shutdown p1999 it would lose subs via the people loyal to both. no one who is here for classic eq would touch daybreaks servers, or else we'd be there on the F2P servers right now

WOW this is pretty cool

Two words : sell out

Or rather three words : told you so

I said it a long time ago and continued to say it, Rogean's reasoning and justification of why Sony wouldn't pursue legal action on P99, was bogus.

And now we now that to be true. The only reason this statement was put out, is because

As a show of good faith to support the efforts of Daybreak Games,...

As a show of good faith? What? Why do you have to show good faith to Daybreak, oh..that's right, because they would have canned your ass.

..we have decided to reschedule our expansion release as to not conflict with the upcoming new progression server being released in the coming weeks.

This really takes the cake. Postponing Velious - something we've been waiting on for almost four years now, a delay that has warped and ruined the state of the server being stuck in Kunark so long...and you delay it so that it won't distract people from the launch of (an already failed) progression server that isn't like P99 any ways?

Damn dude, they ass raped you.

This is the general gist of my interpretation of recent events, as stated a few pages back, but I chose to put it in a much less bitter/douchey sounding way.

No it's not difficult to read between the lines here, but even so it seems unfair to be disrespectful to the devs and staff, as they are doing all they can to give us the most classic EQ experience within their means.

Honestly the delay means nothing, as if another 6 months of Kunark is going to make a difference at this point. As you stated the server has already (d)evolved into something not-quite-so-classic due to limited resources and other factors which we may not be privy to. There is really no fixing it at this point, regardless of how many guild tiers you create, or even after the release of Velious.

And I don't think the devs and staff really give a shit about release dates, and they shouldn't. They are providing a completely free playing experience and donating hundreds of hours of their time, mostly because they enjoy doing so. When the devs themselves admit that they are waiting until the "new" PVE server is released to start playing here themselves, when a proper timeline will be followed, that tells you all you really need to know.

That dude need to realize he's playing on the beta server for the real server which won't be released until all the velious stuff is fixed. Calm down, bro. It's going to be ok.

In a word... LOL

[Life617]

Excellent news, it looks like all your guys hard work is starting to be noticed.

'Toodles' doesn't really know what he is talking about, you guys are not sell outs, and you did not get "*** *****."

Also getting listed on the official server list might actually be a good thing... at least daybreak would punish all of the immoral, racist and vulgar trolls that this community seems draw in.

This would be nice to see. I have thought about this for a while, and I think the only way to kind of fix that area of the server, would be to have Daybreak charge an initial fee to continue playing the server, and then a recurring monthly fee say $10. Not sure anything will be done about it now though?

[zachpsu]

Awesome! It'd be great to get a legitimate downloadable client for a nominal fee!
