The Grummz post is almost word for word what I would say to Daybreak if I thought they had two brain cells to rub together:

1) You say you lost the original source for [EQ], so use [P99's] version.
2) Hire the team that did it and let them run/support the [back end] under the [Daybreak] banner. [Do not, under any circumstances, allow P99's devs to make any hiring decisions as relates to customer service.]
3) Add cloud based support so people can spin up private legacy servers on Bnet, chose an expansion, and play with their friends.
4) Profit. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

#2 assumes that nil and rogaen would leave their day jobs to do it. I was under the impression they have decent jobs already and do this for fun. As someone who worked in the games industry I wouldn't leave a non games industry job for equal pay in the games industry. Crunch time sucks and a lot of companies don't pay you for all of the crunch time you put in because they can fire you and hire the next retard that learned c++. Learning cobol was the smartest thing I ever did. I dread the day banks finally upgrade their shit.
