No worries mates, the deal is in the works. All loot tables will just be replaced with station cash tokens redeemable on live.
win-win

In all seriousness, at this point the "intellectual property" is barely even a brand at this point. If this were a WoW emulator, then any corporate legal action would make sense because a) WoW has money, honey and b) there is an actual, ongoing brand to defend.
Everquest is a nearly valueless brand, and I highly doubt there is much money for Dawnbroke to even put one lawyer on billable hours to run after emu servers. In fact, if anything, these emu servers are keeping the brand alive and somewhat active, and in play. Hobbyists are their friends. And that is, essentially, what we are. We are the ones keeping the franchise alive, as the business it came from is fuck up city. The only way I can see any issues, is if they feel p99 is "releasing into the wild" actual technological assets (code) that they feel they could somehow sell. And that would be the only glitch I can think is even remotely likely. Daybreak may decide it wants to sell emu tools, for example. But the money problem reappears. Because if that was the plan, they would not only have to send out and enforce a C&D, but also a) somehow secure the actual work these fine hobbyists here have done so they can sell it or b) replicate it themselves so they can sell it. But that would take resources I highly doubt they have or think is worth it. Again, where is the brand motivation? And I do not think there is much of a market for one-off 16 year old game engines. The best thing that can happen, is that Daybreak's summer progression server does well. The worst case scenario would have been, if p99 released Velious sometime after that progression server got going, and it saw a big drop in population as people came back here. That would have pissed someone off enough to pay a lawyer or two, I would reckon. tl;dr this was another take on why p99 is releasing velious now. The disclaimer is just that, like a fansite says they are not affiliated, etc. Nothing to see. Unless the live prog server fails. So re-open your subs.

Maybe we will finally here the end of "it's not classic."
This should be an understanding that we are playing on private server, with custom content and process of a game that reflects a game that existed 15 years ago. I am sure the management team understands that due to their development of their content on their server has brought the game we are playing to a point that is far different than what the developers did and how they did it when Everquest was live even though the product looks the same. (Long sentence.) While they clearly have had conversation with the original development team and understand the intellectual grey areas. I would imagine this remains in the names and nouns of the product we are looking at; ie please just don't change the name to Project 1999: Classic Everrquest; Ikssars, Tuunare. Refer to the fact that P99 is a donation based organization.
