Green server and "operating under legal permission"

I can sum up everything you just wrote with a single word: pedantry. Look, I'm no lawyer, but if you actually read my original post I even said, explicitly, that A) the details matter, and B) even if a company forms an iron-clad contract, there are still ways of breaking said contract (eg. dissolving the company).

But none of that matters, because for one thing this place existed for years without a formal legal agreement, and for another none of us knows the details of the agreement (except Rogean). Any discussion of the details is just "armchair quarterbacking". So while nothing you said was strictly wrong, it also didn't add or change anything germane to the conversation (ie. it was pedantic).

Ultimately what actually matters are the specific terms of the contract that Rogean and Daybreak signed. And while you and I might not know those details, Rogean does.

So until someone gives me a reason to think otherwise, I'm going to go by:

Well, it did add something to the conversation, which was correcting your definitive statements about contracts, etc. which weren't accurate and therefore misinforming.

I wasn't trying to say the server is going to be shut down, just that I'm sure it would not be extremely difficult for Daybreak to do so. I would imagine if they did that Rogean could try to sue for breach (if he can pay the attorney's fees and court filings), but the damages there would probably just be compensating him for the money spent on server upkeep/maintenance and hardware over the years. Point being, I'm sure Daybreak could shut it down with relative ease and (if they did it in breach of contract) minimal damages; however, like I said in my post I doubt they would ever do so unless it got to the point where it was seriously harming their business (i.e. tens of thousands of subscribers). Right now, there's barely any population on P99 so they don't care, and probably hope that maybe it will lead people to join TLPs for various different reasons (deciding they want to play past Velious, re-discovering EQ but wishing they had a bit more QoL, etc.).
