Daybreak does not spend a lot of money maintaining EQ. Even though Time locked Progression servers are probably losing numbers over time, they still bring in multiple thousands of new players/accounts/monthly subs every year from players that are hooked on them like the community here is hooked on p99. The difference in the two communities is that their TLP Cash shop with exp potions, race changes, 40 slot bags, etc. is BOOMING every year at TLP time and otherwise depending on the month and what new rainbow familiar they reskin. I don't doubt that they would love to delete all of the private servers, if not acquire and instantly monetize them. The cashflow for EG7/Daybreak from the Everquest IP is still very viable and lucrative in 2025. I wish they would just respect the fanbase and give P99 the permission to support themselves more through the obviously very willing community here so that maybe the future of this Project could not be such a mute subject.

Unlikely. Every corporation is an investment firm these days and I don't expect Darkpaw Studios or whatever they're called now has more than 5 developers and 2 admins.
The parent company will probably dump debt on them at some point and they'll have to file for Chapter 7. You'll still get to play it's a pretend funny money bankruptcy like with Mr Trump in his ventures.
