2) Multiple devs' work on verifying gameplay mechanics through reverse engineering / observation (Thanks to Robregen, Haynar, Torven, Speedz (RIP), cavedude, solar, demonstar55 myself, the entire EQMac community)
3) Packet collections from that era, and previous eras.
4) Painstaking parsing and verification of minor game quirks and content that made it accurate and AKurate (Torven, mostly, but so many people contributed, including EQClassic's Harakiri)

so you were careful to avoid IP problems that way, but you had something else to work off of.

i've heard from multiple sources that someone ganked a hard drive and left verant
