Downtime - Saturday, November 22nd, 2025

[Rogean]

On Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 starting at 9 AM Eastern Time, All Project 1999 and EQEmulator services will be coming offline for maintenance. We will attempt to have everything restored by 6 PM Eastern time, but that ETA could change. Please join the Discord server for the latest updates.

This outage will affect the following:

EQEmulator Website
EQEmulator Loginserver
Project 1999 Website
Project 1999 Wiki
Project 1999 Game Servers (Green, Blue, Red)
Project Quarm Game Server
Project EQ Game Servers (TGC, TAKP, TAKP TLP)

Does this have to do with the new rules as a result of the THJ lawsuit or is P1999 exempt. For example 800 player limit etc.

Almost certainly no; P99 has its own agreement, which does not have the same limitations as the general EQ Emulator license.

Whenever a dev takes a server down, it's to make changes that can't be made with that server running. It could be something as boring and innocuous as Rogean updating the OS version of the server ... or it could be that he's doing something to prepare for a future event (eg. Green 2.0).

We'll just have to wait and see.

I saw it was all of the servers, the entire EQEMU which is why I was asking. Maybe they changed the agreement because of the THJ lawsuit.

Advanced notice? Not classic!

Thanks Rogean!

Is this the end, dad?

[WarpathEQ]

Guessing EQEmu is the origin, making updates to their servers which in turn caused downstream requirement for P99 to do the same to keep everything working in unison.

Thank you for everything you do!

Googling EQEmu legal problems the AI said...Project 1999 (P99) and Quarm: Daybreak previously had a non-profit agreement with the well-known P99 emulator server, treating it as a "museum" for classic EverQuest. Project Quarm, another popular server, proactively shut down to seek a similar exemption, though the status of their negotiations is not publicly clear.

So the agreement is no longer in place?
