Daybreak has a duty and obligation to preserve the game so that it's not lost to time. EQ is a key piece of gaming history. People 1000 years from now should be able to play it as it was intended by the original designers. EQ isn't just an IP to monetize and throw away when it's no longer profitable. It's priceless like the Mona Lisa. It's historical art. I have similar concerns for other games but EQ is special. Even if it's "not profitable" (debatable) for them to set up and host a 1999 accurate server, they need to save EVERYTHING they have that allows the most accurate as possible server to be made. Back it all up and organize it. Allow people in the future who have the will to make it at least.
I kind of wish they would work with us emu guys in a mutually beneficial arrangement. We'd work for free under the right circumstances.
