Daybreak (SOE) is releasing a new live EQ time locked progression server in the coming weeks/months. It will require a subscription fee, but will eventually catch up to live EQ.

So what is going to happen with P99? I'm sure daybreak doesn't want something else competing with there "progression" server. Or are they going to be keeping P99 alive and well?

The first post says...

"As a show of good faith to support the efforts of Daybreak Games, we have decided to reschedule our expansion release as to not conflict with the upcoming new progression server being released in the coming weeks."

I understand that velious is being pushed back for p99 as to not interfere with daybreaks progression server release but if they are starting a progression server why even keep P99 around?

Theirs won't be era correct. If you want "classic" P99 is still the best choice.

Because their progression will be nothing close to Classic.

Because P99 is a unique experience that no progression server can equal, especially given all the modern updates they will have to endure/enjoy in spite of its "progression" status.
