you seem to be missing the point that they were making income from this.

No other dev in the long history of EQEmu has made a livable wage off of emulating EverQuest. It's been people doing it mostly as a passion project.

Keep all the aspects of THJ as-is, but take away the Marketplace and allowing people to buy in-game items with real-life cash - and I support it. I wouldn't play, but I still support the idea.

What you seem to not understand is that they crossed that line, which was well-established by every other dev that's been a part of EQEmu's history of DO NOT SELL ITEMS FOR REAL LIFE CASH

I don’t care that the server is shut down and I played on it.

You didn’t play on it and you’re crying like a little bitch about it.

I agree that they shouldn’t have taken money, but I don’t agree on the way that you’re fucking saying that this is their fault. Fuck them. They’re scammers and grifter that’s bullshit and fuck you for saying it.

So, you agree they shouldn't have taken the money - but don't agree that it's their fault that 15+ years of EQEmu history was effectively vanished because of a court ordered injunction that was brought on because... they made money off of another company's IP...

There’s a fucking donate button on www.project1999.com

If this server has the same number of users is THJ they’d be fucking making that kind of money too!

No - because you don't get any in-game items for donating to p99.

That's the whole point of contention of the members of the EQEmu and P99. It's one thing to solicit donations - ie: have people give money and they get nothing in return.

It's another thing to reward them with in-game items. Now you're profiting off of people wanting a pay-to-win structure.

P99 also explicitly agreed with Daybreak that the donations from players would only be accepted to the extent needed to cover the costs of operating the server

So you're saying they regularly report their earnings and costs to Daybreak?

Or are you kind of just saying what you think is true as if it's a fact?
