Tears unnumbered ye shall shed; and the lawyers will fence Norrath against you, and shut you out, so that not even the echo of your lamentation shall pass over the mountains. On the House of Takahashi the wrath of the lawyers lieth from the West unto the uttermost East, and upon all that will follow them it shall be laid also. Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue. To evil end shall all things turn that they begin well; and by treason of kin unto kin, and the fear of treason, shall this come to pass.

The Dispossessed shall they be for ever.

They have taken the server and the discord.
We have barred the subreddit gates, but cannot hold them for long...
On P99 there's a quake.
Lawsuits, lawsuits, in the deep.

Oh man the comment section is pure lunacy. Crying how people not being able to profit 100k a month off someone else's IP is due to late stage capitalism.
Only under a People's Democratic Republic can we truly find salvation for Everquest!

We need law and order. All this has proven is we need to require government digital ID's to access the internet.

It has been an unwritten rule on EQEmu for over a decade - don't fucking monetize. For the sake of the community as a whole, everybody (except a few rogue admins) abided by this.

But these fuckin pricks, Takahashi and Alexander decided to turn running an emulated server into a career. They were probably over the moons and so proud of themselves for turning a HUGE profit on an emu.

Despite warnings from other devs and admins: they pushed forward and ON TOP OF THAT tried to play coy, feign innocence and ignorance, and go toe-to-toe with a legal team that SPECIALIZES IN IP THEFT.

As a result, the entire EQEmu community, which has existed mostly peacefully and left alone for 15+ years has been shaken up. Servers that people have played on for 10+ years are shut down. The communities they gathered in are shut down.

We are insulated here on p99 - but the fallout from this shit is crazy. Imagine waking up tomorrow and Rogaen announces that at midnight, he's closing the Discord, Forums, eqemulator.org, and shutting down all P99 servers. On top of that, the reddit mobs at /r/Project1999 decide to permanently shut the sub down.

Now there would be droves of p99 players that called this community and have NO WHERE to go to continue that community connection, except for guild discords.

That is what happened yesterday, for Project EQ, EZ Server, and a half-dozen other EQEmu's that were playing by the unwritten rules of DO NOT TRY TO MAKE A PROFIT ON EQEMU.
