Isn't it time to find out what lies in the future for the servers?

Sorry your brain doesn't work and you don't know how to abstract or extrapolate.

Or, just too proud to admit you were wrong [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Probably the second [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thank you for continuing to confirm that you have no knowledge of what Rogean pays!

See above facts. We know approximately what Rogean pays. We don't need to know exactly, because that isn't even the question, fool.

The question is "What does one need to pay to run a server?" Rogean will be +/- that number within a small range. If he already has hardware, he may pay very little or nothing.

We have answered that question. You lose. Nice try. Sorry you can't BS away the obvious fact you put your foot in your esophagus.

$5 to $20 per month

Every few months this topic comes up, and nobody ever remembers:

Rogean doesn't just own P99, he owns EQEMU. He makes money off of ALL the servers by donations to EQEMU, and P99 donations.

Rogean isn't just P99, Rogean is ALL OF THE EMULATORS except for TAKP which does not use EQEMU. (TAKP really isn't an emulator, its the actual legit Mac client, and therefore the most accurate.)

chances are he had connections to verant/soe back in the day, i mean who would really let some strange random person use their IP for free?

Why was P99 allowed to continue, when the eqclassic.org project (which started years before P99), was nailed with cease and desist orders from SOE?

Think people, THINK.

are you telling me that TAKP has managed to somehow get ahold of the actual EQ mac server client??

With respect to your point about eqclassic.org what year was that? I could see a couple possible reasons. For one, if it was years before P99 launched that could have been during the time when EQ wasn’t really a completely dead game on live; so SOE had a real motivation to control the IP in that way. Once Daybreak started running TLPs they may have viewed P99 as a bit of a marketing tool for them; people see P99 and either start looking at what other “progression” type EQ servers are out there or otherwise decide they don’t like full on classic but they want some of that experience so they go pay for TLP…P99 has never really approached the kind of player base that would have made Daybreak concerned about competition so better to just use it as a marketing tool in a way.

we were alpha testing for eqclassic.org in like '07 or '08ish. Nilbog might remember the dates better, he was a dev there too.

You're on the right track. P99 received C&D letters early on as well. Either of them (and EQ-emulator in general) survived for a long time mostly because Sony wasn't interested enough in heavily pursuing action (contrast that to, say, Blizzard). P99 didn't get its official sanction until 2015 by which time EQ had changed overall ownership. By then EQC was yesterday's news, and it has never launched at all, much less built any sort of stable well-known community. Simply put, P99 got the notice and sanction it did because it's the (relative) big player on the classic scene.

is there any point on playing green or blue if a new server is coming out in a year?

I hope for your sake a hardcore nihilist doesn't try to turn you :O
