With respect to your point about eqclassic.org what year was that? I could see a couple possible reasons. For one, if it was years before P99 launched that could have been during the time when EQ wasn’t really a completely dead game on live; so SOE had a real motivation to control the IP in that way. Once Daybreak started running TLPs they may have viewed P99 as a bit of a marketing tool for them; people see P99 and either start looking at what other “progression” type EQ servers are out there or otherwise decide they don’t like full on classic but they want some of that experience so they go pay for TLP…P99 has never really approached the kind of player base that would have made Daybreak concerned about competition so better to just use it as a marketing tool in a way.
we were alpha testing for eqclassic.org in like '07 or '08ish. Nilbog might remember the dates better, he was a dev there too.
