Green server and "operating under legal permission"

I am sorry, but Rogean has no leg to stand on here. Back in 2015, things were a lot different. Epstein's lawyers could shut all this down in two seconds today and no one would bat an eye.

So you think since daybreak changed hands in ownership, that suddenly the agreement between the company and project1999 is void?

Also if you play on a server for a year, enjoy it, and then it shuts down, you were just "wasting your time?"

You have a very inadequate understanding of our legal system and how contracts work with companies and their ownerships.

Most people though would just enjoy the 100% free game that has lasted 10 years and (unlike virtually any other emulated game in existence) has legal protection from the IP owners. And quite frankly your somewhat crazy line of questioning is making me think most people here would be better off without you.

I have enjoyed some time on P99 blue, and I appreciate the staff and playerbase. You are making all your legal protection conclusions on 4-year-old posts with no legal detail. I feel my questions are perfectly valid for a player looking to invest time into a character.

Also, your words indicate that you think you're smarter than the tens of volunteers who already "risked" investing their time not just to play a video game, but to let other people play a video game ... as well as the (literally) thousands of other players here, some of whom have sunk months of their life in to this "risky investment".

Either you actually are smarter than all of them, or you need to read about the Dunning–Kruger effect and apply it to your understanding of law. And even if you ARE a legal genius ... yelling to a crowd about how much smarter than them you are is rude regardless.

Legal contracts between entities don't "expire", unless it's written into the contrract. If company A has a contract with party B, and company C acquires company A, A's contract with B remains unchanged.

Now of course the details of said contract matter ... but we don't know those details. And of course there are always options: Daybreak's owner could dissolve the company, breaking the contract, then sell the IP rights to a new company. If that happened, yes this place could be taken down, and you'd have wasted your "time investment" (if you think of playing a video game that way).

Also a giant meteor could crash into earth tomorrow, and then your investment could also be lost!

I find it amazing the number of people who play but whom imply they don't like the process of playing, but only stay due to sunk investment.

OP has convinced me not to risk wasting anymore time here, good luck in green all, see you in pantheon.

So you've been lurking since 2010 and are just now concerned about wasting some hours of your life?

You don't know me. Prove to your playerbase Epstein can't shut it all down tomorrow.
