100% a scam for donations. Guarantee he got well over 10k in donations and barely did dick. Wasn't his little closed beta in the tutorial zone only? lol.
Negative. I wouldn't be so negative on the guy he did seem like he was trying to recreate classic until the last year or two it went a bit downhill. Also, since damn near eqc.org came up it was either in a stickied thread or FAQ that yeahlight was never going to host a server.

I can say without a doubt that the SOE EQ1/EQ2 team has no idea what P99 and EQC was/were up until my visit which was 3 months after Yeahlight's proposal...)
the dates of our C&D letters would disagree with that statement [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

but either way, as i've said on my stream, Yeahlight was very good at what he does. but it was absolutely foolish of him to put any time or resources or energy into a project that he was going to abandon if it was not supported by SoE (which was exactly the case for those of you that dont know the tale). i could have saved him a ton o time and told him that SoE would never do that.

The information stream between employees and the legal department is usually lacking and even worse for outside counsel. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They would lose money just on the support staff they would have to hire to babysit the man-children that would inhabit a classic server.

How would they lose money? You don't think people would be willing to be GM's for free? The ones here do it.

If you charged $15 a month sub, how would you not be shitting out profit? maybe I don't understand the costs to run a server but I can see a minimum 2000 subs for $30000 monthly revenue. If you can't make profit on that, you're doing it wrong.

Legal and the rest of the dev team do not communicate as far as I am aware, they only answer to management.

I was more so talking specifically about the EQ1/EQ2 dev team.
