Question

[Fhergul]

I'm sure that somewhere in the mass of posts this question has been asked before but I can't seem to find it.

Why isn't the agreement with Daybreak Games that allowed P99 to exist public? I for one would like to know what those are so I can see exactly how far P99 can go. Is it hard locked at Velious or is that just something that has grown from the rumors generated from the lack of the agreement being made public? Just curious about some things.

I have no idea but wouldn't be surprised if they signed a NDA.

It's neither rumor, nor derived from the 2015 agreement. The owners of P1999, from day 1, repeatedly stated that expansions beyond Velious are off the table. This was their own intention for P99 long before any legal agreement was ever made. Hence even if it were included in the agreement, then at most it was merely formalizing a decision the admins had long since already made. At one time the admins used to say that custom content was possible. This appears to have fallen by the wayside, could be due to the legal agreement, but more likely due to either admin opinions on the matter changing or due to simple developer fatigue/burnout.

They had halloween/xmas events that were custom content so I don't think that is entirely off the table.

But the fact that they've always wanted to recreate an experience as close to classic as possible kinda rules out significant custom content additions.

They turned me into a puma once. I wonder if telling this story will get them in legal difficulty.

It's hard locked at velious because the expansions after velious blow ass and in the minds of many including the staff luclin is where the original game took a turn for the monstrosity it is today. I enjoyed certain aspects of luclin and PoP but on balance I'm glad they are absent from this project
