Personally, my dream is to start a server with only my OG guild from the 90s. These servers are simply too populated by poopsockers, and way over-camped to really enjoy anything. That dream includes p99’s coding, in all honesty. Will this ever be a possibility?

Not hopeful— but curious. Thanks.

EQEmu dev here.

P99 is based off of a ~2009 fork from EQEmu. Not sure what you mean by "I question your motives". Releasing their source/DB would be suicide for the project as there would be tons of people like you running P99 clones that have zero idea what they're doing.

I'm not sure why so many people feel entitled to P99's data but we get this sentiment on a regular basis over at EQEmu.

Nothing is stopping you from forking the source and starting your own P99. In fact it has literally never been easier to start up your own project.. You'd have a much easier go of it than they did ~10 years ago.
