Some guy on their forums already said that, stating...
"Let's be honest, released server code would most likely just end up at P99 where they already have a pretty solid data base and player base. It would let purists have their skies and spell particles while still having a consolidated classic community."
To which YL responded
"You are assuming my database's schema has much in common with PEQ's, which it does not; mapping their data to my schema would be a nightmare. Harakiri also wrote his own LUA scripting engine, which is incompatible with EQEmu's PERL engine, thus all of PEQ's scripts are mostly useless. You are also assuming people want to actually play in the Trilogy client. Ask the testers how difficult it was to go back to this, especially those familiar with EQTitanium and beyond. Finally, you are assuming people would blindly replace their server code with ours. Regardless of superior mechanic implementations, we have not had years of play go through our work, thus it is ripe with exploitation possibilities."
