Green server and "operating under legal permission"

I have enjoyed some time on P99 blue, and I appreciate the staff and playerbase. You are making all your legal protection conclusions on 4-year-old posts with no legal detail. I feel my questions are perfectly valid for a player looking to invest time into a character.

Rogean please disclose all information pertaining to any legal agreements between Project 1999, Rogean technologies, Daybreak games, Brad McQuaid, Jason Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and Opal Darkbriar. It's our right as players on your free to play server.

Legal contracts between entities don't "expire", unless it's written into the contrract. If company A has a contract with party B, and company C acquires company A, A's contract with B remains unchanged.

Now of course the details of said contract matter ... but we don't know those details. And of course there are always options: Daybreak's owner could dissolve the company, breaking the contract, then sell the IP rights to a new company. If that happened, yes this place could be taken down, and you'd have wasted your "time investment" (if you think of playing a video game that way).

Also a giant meteor could crash into earth tomorrow, and then your investment could also be lost!

I find it amazing the number of people who play but whom imply they don't like the process of playing, but only stay due to sunk investment.

I am interested in the Green Server, but I am concerned that the legal agreement outlined in the "operating under legal permission" link on the homepage is outdated. This agreement was reached during Sony ownership, not Daybreak. How can I be confident that I will not be wasting time playing on Green without a new agreement in place? I can envision the new owners of EverQuest catching wind of this new, non-sanctioned "TLP", and quickly nullifying any prior SOE agreement and shutting this down.

You have the intelligence of a kobald runt. Leave the philosophical thinking to the High Men of Norrath.

I like that you are enjoying some role-playing, but this is serious, and if you bury your head in the sand, you could get royally screwed out of many hours of your life.

Your immersion potential may be catastrophic.

I haven't read anything else, but here is some advice:

Enjoy the journey. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm pretty sure you're role-playing a (troll) lawyer.

And this is not serious. Get over yourself.

And if you play and the game gets shut down so what? How is that getting screwed? The playing and interacting with others is the reward. I could give two squirrel farts about my gear & characters.

Heaven forbid I have to find another game or read more or create something of value.

Good point. I have already moved onto the phase of my life where my little free time seems better spent outside EverQuest, so my diatribe speaks more to that than it does to the viability of Green.

That being said, don't be surprised if this server gets Nostalrius'd.
