Highlights:

7. All EQEmulator gameplay must remain exactly the same as the original EverQuest game. You shall not add, alter, or introduce any scripts, plug-ins, artwork, maps, assets, or other materials that change, extend, or replace the original EverQuest gameplay experiences, rules, mechanics, character traits, artwork, or strategies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are permitted to make minor changes or additions to add custom content (e.g., a new NPC, a new quest, a holiday event, etc.) provided that (i) you do not materially alter the difficulty of the game or fundamental gameplay mechanics, and (ii) by adding such custom content you agree to enforce a lower player cap as specified in Section 9, below.

9. Each EQEmulator game shall be operated as a single server with a population cap, such that the number of concurrent users playing on the server at any given time shall not exceed eight hundred (800); provided, however, in the event you add custom content in accordance with section 7, above, the enforced player cap shall be four hundred (400).

14. You acknowledge and agree that operating an EQEmulator server is done at your own risk. You acknowledge and agree that all intellectual property rights in EverQuest, including without limitation all trademarks, copyrights, and patents associated with the game, are the sole and exclusive property of Daybreak Game Company LLC (“Daybreak”), and your operation of an EQEmulator server is subject to Daybreak’s permission, which it may revoke for any reason or no reason at any time, without any liability to you or any other person or entity. You agree to fully and immediately comply with any demand from Daybreak to modify, restrict, or shut down any EQEmulator server. Alternatively, EQEmulator may shut down any EQEmulator server upon request from Daybreak. EQEmulator reserves the right to disable, delist, or permanently remove any EQEmulator server at any time, with or without any notice, if it determines that the server violates these Terms or any applicable law.

THJ fans don't give a shit about any of this. They just want their server back. Meanwhile, people who have been working on custom content for 5, 10, 20 years have to agree not to use any custom content on any server.

on the bright side we finally got to see the agreements daybreak has with the projects.

[sammoHung]

That's true. But up until this week there wasn't even a general server operator agreement. Now there is, and it caps servers with custom content at 400.
