Project 1999, Daybreak, and Velious

[Asharad]

It is really amazing that you guys got this agreement.

Nicely done.

I'm so happy that you guys have reached a formal agreement with Daybreak Games on the legality of this project. I haven't played on here in quite a while, but I love knowing that the characters that I've put so much time into playing won't be going away. Smedley is not your typical boss man, as evidenced by this agreement and having the life of EQ Mac prolonged as it was. This is amazing when you think about it...so many fan projects get shut down for no good reason.

Will this mean you guys will be able to set up a all in one installer, upload a client, or even customize a client for Project 1999?!?!???

It’s been a busy year for Project 1999 and we have some exciting news we’ve been really anxious to share with all of you. As some of you may be aware, in the past there has been both confusion and concern over the status of Project 1999. We have recently entered into a written agreement with Daybreak Game Company LLC that formally recognizes Project 1999 as a fan based, not-for-profit, classic EverQuest emulation project. The agreement establishes the guidelines that we as a project must follow, but it will allow to us continue to update the game without risk of legal repercussions. As a show of good faith to support the efforts of Daybreak Games, we have decided to reschedule our expansion release as to not conflict with the upcoming new progression server being released in the coming weeks.

We would like to personally thank all the folks at Daybreak and acknowledge how awesome it is for a company to work with and embrace the creations of their fans. This is really something that’s unique in the gaming industry.
