As per https://wiki.project1999.com/Daybreak_Game_Company, the agreement came in 2015 ... long before Green's release in 2019. So it's highly unlikely the agreement is the issue here.

Also, that same page has some great quotes from staff/former staff, which make it pretty clear Daybreak's goal was never to stop P99.

I'm sure that TLP being the only way daybreak makes money has some influence.
It would not be unreasonable for P99 to agree to avoid certain server release dates, to avoid "cannibalizing" potential players from Daybreak. The fact that Green was released in October 2019, right in-between Aradune (March, 2019) and Mangler (May 2020) adds support to this theory ... but again, no one knows for sure, and even if it was true, it wouldn't stop a new server.

Both Green and Blue are still holding a health enough population. It may not be ideal, but Project 1999 is in no danger of dying anytime soon.

Look, it is very frustrating that the P99 staff doesn't communicate. It's also frustrating that nothing appears to be happening with a new server.

But don't let your frustration lead you to draw incorrect conclusions. The staff have always been secretive, and have always always moved at a slower pace than the player base wants ... but they've also always kept to their goal of trying to enable people to experience classic EQ.
