Nilbog and Rogean have literally been there in person with Daybreak employees, at the EverQuest Museum in San Diego. They had a section there where Project 1999 was displayed.

Holly Longdale has gone on record stating that she would rather see people interested in true classic EverQuest play on Project 1999 as they don't have the resources to provide a true classic experience.
John Smedley was the one who orchestrated the deal and every time a C&D went to his desk for legal approval, he'd stand up for EQEmu stating that they're just hyper fans of the game.

They're a lot more open than when they were Sony-owned.

This thread is fearmongering.

Probably best if you don't play OP. Far too risky.

Blimey. Ungrateful much.

THe majority of us are eternally grateful to Roegan and co for providing such an incredible experience. He owes us nothing, if you choose to use your time playing this its your business.

Play it or dont. Its that simple. He owes us no explanations, no favours and quite frankly your lucky he even bothered to respond to you.
I understand being grateful for this free service, but do you really expect anyone to believe you would not be upset if you invested most of your free leisure hours into this server over the next few months, and one Saturday morning, you go to login to your character, and the plug is pulled?

Because the guy with that calculator, he built that himself. And the client software, I have a receipt for that.
I'm not sure what your question is really. This analogy sort of misses the IP issue involved between P99 and Daybreak.

At any rate, I wasn't agreeing with OP that I think P99 is at risk of being shut down. I was just saying that Daybreak likely could if they wanted to, which they probably never would because P99 will never get to the level of causing an economic issue for Daybreak.

Yeah, but at least we got some great staff quotes for the wiki, and now the next time anyone wants to wig out over this everyone can just link the Daybreak page to them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
