P99 has thousands of people online in its Discord per day. Do several thousand people log into P99 every day? No lol.

I mean, just try to break down the $100k a month for crying out loud! Im gonna ask AI (at the risk of you thinking AI is always wrong and fake and auto disqualifying it)
But it says that breaks down to 10,000 monthly donators. That's 10,000 people playing so much they donate!

This is an odd example to try and use. Because you can make up whatever scenario for numbers that you want. For example, you could have 1,000 people donating $100 dollars each and get to the $100,000. Your example is completely made up and meaningless lol.
But since you like AI so much and think it's the truth, let's cite some AI responses on a couple of things:
- "During its peak, the EverQuest emulator server The Heroes' Journey (THJ) saw an average player count of 1,713"
- As of October 2025, there is no public proof that the EverQuest emulator The Heroes' Journey (THJ) ever had 30,000 daily active users.
So is AI accurate? Or only when you want to use it to make up some made up donation scenario?
Shovel is clinging to this 30,000 daily users thing because he's desperate to paint Daybreak as the bad guy, and he thinks that if Daybreak shut down the server solely because of daily users then it makes them look like bigger assholes. He doesn't want to accept that the primary reason that he can no longer play on THJ is because the people who started the server (who he idolizes for some reason) decided to grift players and monetize the server. If they hadn't done that, THJ would probably exist in some form today.
It sucks that you can't play on the server you liked. If P99 got shut down I'm sure we'd all be upset too. But you're directing your ire at the wrong people; you should be directing it at the people who ran THJ who decided to make money off you. In any case, no one here really cares much that THJ was shut down, so why are you on P99 forums ranting about it?
Why don't you go talk about it on the THJ Discord???
