never happening

While we're at it, does anyone else have any free associated suggestions to share with DBG regarding P99?

if they officially hosted the old titanium client for download it would give them an ever so small reputation boost with the emu community.

or heck, release the source code to some of the older clients and let people host emu servers on DBG's hardware, server owner charged a monthly or annual fee.

neither would ever happen but there is clearly an audience for it.

Now these are some sensical ideas.

Hey, we're okay with you running your emu but you have to pay to host it on our server mainframe.

Would be awesome if they released older clients too so you could get things like the old sky graphics, some of the mechanics from classic that the Titanium client doesn't support (IIRC), etc.

Wouldn't really risk harm to Daybreak's bottom line or expansion of emulated server populations, while also providing some additional incremental revenue.

<<< Rant on >>>

IRL pretty much had the same dream *twice* ( The Matrix deja vu )

Woke up and am struggling to stay awake now.

Checking reality-land now:

. -) US government shutdown 2025 - still on-going

. -) bitcoin price https://charts.bitbo.io/price/ <- I guess it has been going up since 2009 *but* almost nobody lets you buy something with it

No clue - guessing Bitcoin - gonna do some mining

<<< Rant off >>>

This would be an awful business idea for DBG. Live EQ sucks ass, but they make a fair amount of money off of it. Creating a pipeline for people to go play P99 wouldn't make sense for them. If you assume a live EQ player switches to P99 once Daybreak puts that link up, Daybreak would've made way more money off that player on live EQ than they'd make off of some sort of sale of P99 access.

I think it would raise some interesting legal questions as well. Meaning, you'd be selling an emulated server that you don't run or assist with...while Daybreak is fully entitled to monetize their IP, they'd also essentially be monetizing the efforts of Rogean, Nilbog, and the ongoing work of the CSR staff, which $5 per sale certainly wouldn't cover.

Imagine paying for something you can get for free. Just make sure you spit out the micro plastics from that bottled water.

There's a lot of normal people who can't install it. I've spent hours trying to help my friends set it up over Discord. Even now I'm in a situation where I'm going to have to install the game for the first time in years, and I dread doing it, and don't even know if the Titanium files still exist anymore etc.

I think this is for sure one of the main advantages of Quarm is the fact that it's much more user friendly to install. I'll always be a P99 main when it comes to EQ, but I'm being honest.

Have you tried applying the P99 patch to the Quarm download without applying the discord files?
