Daybreak has a duty and obligation to preserve the game so that it's not lost to time.

Daybreak/EG7 are a weird bunch -- this from their annual report in 2021:-

Enad Global 7 AB has two business areas,
• game development – both in one’s own name and in consulting assignments. EG7 has 8 game development and live operation
studios in North America and Europe within the group: Antimatter Games, Piranha, Toadman Studios, Big Blue Bubble,
Dimensional Ink, Standing Stone, Rogue Planet and Darkpaw. Daybreak is an MMO developer that has developed 13 MMOs in
its 24-year history, including EverQuest, the first MMORPG game entirely in 3D. Daybreak currently maintains a portfolio of 8
live titles, which contributes a strong foundation of stable revenues and profitability for the group.


• services— which include consulting activities relating to development strategies and marketing of games through the subsidiary
Petrol Advertising Inc., as well as distribution of games as publishers – digitally and physically through the subsidiary Fireshine
Games (formerly Sold Out Sales & Marketing Ltd). With the acquisition of Innova during the second quarter of 2021, the live
portfolio was expanded with another 12 titles. The MMOs published by Innova include Lineage 2, Black Desert Online and Blade
& Soul. The business model was intended to create provides the conditions for close collaborations as well as stable cash flows.
The result is an independent game development company that develops games through its own investments, which thus does not
have to rely on external investments. Combining Daybreak, Innova, My Singing Monsters and MechWarrior Online, EG7 currently
has 22 live titles, making EG7 one of the largest live title publishers and operators in the world. The company’s strategy is to
continue to grow by developing games via its own independent studios, and to continue to work its way up the value chain by
developing games with its own funds and locating games on its own.

Daybreak totally developed EverQuest and those other titles [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
