Request for Review of P99 Source

[Estu]

Guys, anyone who wants to can work towards being a P99 developer and getting source access. The first step is to work on issues for which the P99 source is similar enough to the public EQEmu source that you can fix them without having dev access. Talk to Rogean and Nilbog about it, or other devs. If you show them that you're competent and trustworthy, you can be a dev. I was going down this road for a while until a bunch of stuff came up IRL and I lost the free time to work on it - I have several unfinished projects I was working on that I can tell people about if they're interested in dev-ing.

One reason it doesn't make sense to make everything public is because it destroys what mystery there is about the game for the players. We already have a huge amount of information on how the game works on the Wiki and on old Allakhazam posts, but the moment you have access to the database and the source code, your amount of knowledge about the game increases dramatically. Once you know exactly how every single thing works, the game becomes a lot less interesting to play.
