P99 didn't get free code from Daybreak. They use EQEmu, which has been written from scratch by volunteers with no contribution from Daybreak.

As for the client software, it is used by the players who bought it from SOE back then.

Then replace db with emu community. I don't want the code, I get it, it makes sense, but also I could see opposing arguments. Like: if got code emu community = give code back to emu community

The EQEmu software is one thing, the database is another.

It took them bazillions of man-hours, tears, sweat and blood to construct that DB (and probably adapt the EQEmu code somewhat, not to mention fiddle with the client itself through dsetup.dll and friends). They dedicated years of competent developer, sysadmin, you-name-it time to making p99 happen.

They could have spent that time making money for themselves, these skill sets are very marketable today, and not at the minimum wages at all. So you can see it as if they spent their own money (and a lot of it) for p99 to happen.

If Live EQ is shut down at some point, maybe they will have a shot to actually making money back from all that work. Why would they ruin their chances at it by releasing the DB?

Are you serious? Anyone can get the eqemu code and open a server, its just the p99 code that is hoarded by staff.
