This would be really appropriately condescending if there was ever a contract.

? Did you miss the part years ago where they said there is?

So far as I know, they just had a conversation and agreed to certain terms, but nothing was on paper, written in stone.

Sony doesn't own the EQ IP anymore, and now it would be Darkpaw's prerogative to either honour that verbal contract (or a written one, if such a thing exists) or to not do that, and apparently Darkpaw has said outright they don't care about p99 so long as they don't start another server.

Just keep slapping an ‘x’ on the end of the duplicate name until it is unique and permit a free name change.

That's gonna be a lot of fun for the couple CSR people to have to do that for 800-1200 people every 2 years when the server rolls over and starts again.

Do we have a link to either of these? The statement that P99 made a deal with whoever, and whatever Darkpaw games said with regard to P99? People keep talking about it, but I find it hard to believe them because I don’t know the source.

If it’s any reassurance, they won’t have to do that manually. I’m sure there’s some process by which that can be automated.

Nope, but I'm in the same boat as you where I don't really know either way, so I go with "verbal agreement" over "they had their lawyers draw up some paperwork."

I'm sure, but do you know that?

Here you go,

We have recently entered into a written agreement with Daybreak Game Company LLC that formally recognizes Project 1999 as a fan based, not-for-profit, classic EverQuest emulation project. The agreement establishes the guidelines that we as a project must follow, but it will allow to us continue to update the game without risk of legal repercussions.

So what, if, and when P99 does anything is determined by what daybreak is currently doing. to get a frame of reference, check daybreak's EQ roadmap
