What if P99 blew up?

[Twochain]

I Disagree with the shutting down p99 lot. I think daybreak would realize they need to just purchase the project outright and cash in.

Shutting down p99 would cause outrage and divisiveness in already an extremely niche community. If you shut down a project that is giving your IP new life via viral content, you're quite literally shooting yourself in the foot. Rick James shut up pretty quickly when the U CANT TOUCH THIS checks started flowing in, enabling his drug habits for years to come.

For the record, I think it's possible. The raid scene circa 2016-2018 offered PVE competitive content unlike literally anything on the market. Which most gamers born in the 90s on crave. Add in a truly massive and interesting world, retro graphics, and an MMO where community actually matters, and you ACTUALLY talk to your group mates, and ACTUALLY form acquaintances outside of your core in game friends, it really could be a hit in 2021.

It would be a shit show, but it would bring a tear to my eye. EQ through Velious is one of the best gaming experiences ever produced.
