Because you are someone who works with legal documents and copyright/trademark law, I assume you know that it is really "for all intents and purposes".

"For all intended purposes" would also be acceptable, with its use dating back to the late 1800s.

The environmental adaptation system looks cool as hell in Pantheon

I'm not sure I am sold on it yet but it's an alright first pass. It seems like they are making a gear based system without gear. Really weird, hope they change it more down the line. Otherwise still keeping my eye on this for sure.

If you want to want to really get deeper in the rabbit hole, Daybreak has a much better chance suing Rogean & Co. for P99 than Pantheon, because legally, P99 is infringing on Everquest's trademark. Rogean & Co. are smart because they are mitigating the likelihood of litigation by A.) not making money on the front end by charging us a subscription based off EQ's trademark (they're only asking for donations) B.) making it very clear the trademark is Everquest (he's technicaly giving them free marketing) and not his IP and ultimately C.) this is an old ass game man, who the fuck cares; Daybreak would lose more money in litigation fees even if they took Rogean to court...it's just not profitable. No offense to Rogean, but he's a small speck in the grand scheme of things in terms of Daybreak's balance sheet and just aren't worth their time. This is an extreme example, but you don't see Louis Vuitton taking Mr. Wang Chung to court for selling knockoffs of their handbags in the streets of NY.

Thought it was common knowledge they entered an agreement with daybreak... Don't see them suing unless they violate said agreement (believe they can't charge subscriptions or have pay to win or use donations that don't directly go to server maintenance).

Just going off what I gathered on the forums

If you really think about it though it's just "keys" you equip on specific parts of your body to enter specific locations, not to mention multiple tiers and multiple types of keys per specific part of your body. Ever do a VP key? Now do that for every part of your body multiplied by 100.

I guess if you're into getting multiple keys for multiple tiers to enter multiple closed off locations you'll love that system!

That an agreement exists is common knowledge (there was even an official announcement post), but the exact details of what both parties agreed to are not known. There are many theories (eg. that P99 agreed never to open a new server), but only the P99 team and Daybreak know for sure.
