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).

its true. there is a definite demand for classic EQ...but its not as though p99 is the only one who tried to make it a reality. EQclassic comes to mind, but has been essentially a failure of producing anything close to launch playable; Kegz...well, just lol...; progression servers from sony have been fun and lots of folks who play here but they don't scratch the classic itch.
rogean and nilbog have been truly exceptional individuals. without them there would be tons of demand for a legit classic server community, and none to be had.
hopefully, when the time comes for rogean (for whatever reason) to move on from p99 and eqemu he hands it a person or group of people equally capable and dedicated.
