Can we talk about the future of P99?

You're right, no one really knows what's in the agreement ... but if you just think about the interests of the people involved, one would expect a clause like that to be in the agreement.

Agreeing not to go past Velious is in everyone's interests: Daybreak gets a guarantee that P99 won't compete with them, and P99 gives up nothing (but gets the other benefits of the agreement, most importantly an assurance that Daybreak won't attack them with lawyers).

Yeah exactly, the clause is in there because Daybreak didn't want to look like assholes shutting down a small, beloved community run project. So they agree look you guys can run the server as classic through Velious. Anything else is gonna be a problem. And as you noted, it permits new servers because the agreement was signed 4 years before Green was launched (and the idea of Green was conceived of before the agreement was signed...it's always been the intent of P99 to launch new servers and merge the old ones).

The staff have said it before

The Wiki isn't something to rely on for everything because it's totally user managed and not touched by the staff

Ahh yeah i heard the staff say they cant do any new servers, so I guess we'll never know.

Ah got it. So I think we can confirm that this guy is obviously just trolling now lol.

But at any rate, for anyone who comes across this thread later, here is part of the Green announcement from Nilbog confirming the plan is for future fresh servers 9which is consistent with what the staff have said for like 10 years now): "The green server will, at a time yet to be decided, eventually merge into blue and start over again. This merge will not happen until at least 6 months after the last patch in velious (No earlier than January 2023)."

Green is the new red and it is vitally important to the sanity of blue.
