Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

[Seducio]

I like your ideas Torven, but I don't now how palatable that kind of arrangement would be to a gaming company. The work for free thing could create unnecessaries liabilities etc that the lawyers who'd have to sign off on it might not like. It's possible there are some creative ways to merge the interest to preserve classic EQ with the Emu devs capable of doing it.

The agreement between p99 and Daybreak would probably be revealing as to what the interests were of Daybreak when the paperwork was signed. If there isn't a non-disclosure clause then viewing that document would give insights as to whether any version of what you are suggesting is a possibility. Also Nilbog and Rogean probably have some personal insights beyond the agreement. If they have any contacts at Daybreak that'd also be useful.

There are moments in time when the IP of old franchises, things like old musicians catalogs, become very inexpensive. How much has the Everquest brand's value changed over the last five years. What is the IP currently worth. If the brand is diminishing in value there might be an inflection point where Daybreak would be willing to part ways with it.

Many possibilities are out there to preserve Classic EQ. Innovations from those who love classic EQ might be the only way to create the legacy of classic EQ as a piece of historical art that you suggest.
