Maybe this is hopelessly optimistic of me, but I think the P99 devs have started something irreversible. Even if they took the server down tomorrow and burned every hard disk involved, I still think a classic Everquest server would rise again. There's just something so compelling about this game that someone (maybe Jeremy with his new project, maybe someone else) would come along and make it happen.
... but of course it would take them years to accomplish anything close to P99 in it's current form, so here's hoping this server doesn't go anywhere anytime soon (and that when it does go, its source code and database get passed off to someone).
