... and this is just a personal hang-up of mine but I'm not even comfortable calling P99 a "free" service. It certainly isn't free to keep the infrastructure up and running, and more importantly, the time of the Devs isn't "free" in the true definition of the word.

Therefore it's all the more impressive that P99 has even happened, considering there weren't a buncha guys running around with dollar signs in their eyes or the promise of financial incentives. There may have been some peripheral incentives for the people involved (even if it's just bragging rights), but I'd say a genuine love of classic EQ is what has fueled this thing. These guys should never be in a position where they have to beg for donations, and I'll do my part to make sure that doesn't happen.
