That is my worry too.
I am having so much fun again and I am getting attached to my game, server, and Character once again. No other MMo out since 2004 for me to do that [You must be logged in to view images.

Heres to hoping things continue to grow and thrive here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They put a great question out to the public as to why sony wouldn't create their own classic server. It makes sony look pretty foolish, given that there is an obvious demand for the product.
I'd also say, and I don't mean this with any disrespect to the Devs or their great work here, but I think a lot of emulator players would prefer to play on a commercially supported live server. Yes, I know sony is the evil empire and that emulators are free...but I still think most people have a hard time getting completely comfortable in a emulator environment. (Again, I hope nobody takes this the wrong way...I don't mean to say that Rogean/Nilbog's vision and hardwork are in any way unappreciated by me or the community...I'm just commenting on how gamers feel in general--in my opinion--about playing on an emulator server.) The legality of the issue is irrelevant. If Sony wanted to they could simply file the legal suits against project1999 and, whatever legal argument we use, they would shut us down. Considering that the project has to take donations to keep servers from ddos and bad data centers I can't imagine project1999 affording to mount a legal defense against a corporation. The costs would quickly mount into the thousands of dollars before anyone even got near a courtroom. SOE could do this without so much as batting an eye...so why haven't they: Can only think of a few reasons: 1. They do not know about the project (I don't believe this). 2. They do not care about the project (They may think its cool that players are banding together to keep a game that they made popular---or they may think that the number of people involved/money lost isn't worth taking legal action). 3. They may be using it as a free way of gauging any real interest in a classic server. 4. They have a policy that unless the project charges they will not proceed into legal action (donations touch a sketchy area here if I were Sony reading the article). Anyways, it seems to me that the project is probably not at risk for legal action...I believe sony was aware of the server long before the article and they had taken no legal action thus far---so I don't think anything has happened that will change that from recent activity. I hope I'm not wrong, because I like it here a lot. | ||

The biggest thing I learned here -> the following confirmation that the intent is to follow the original timeline! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ...
