They had a closed source project for the most part. Some folks wanted us to colab on the DB, but we were a bit ingrained in what we were doing to even consider splitting efforts.

We weren't part of it and as such would have had no chance to even see the source code much less steal it. Since Yeahlight has released their source; we have it, but we've always worked strictly with the Titanium client. We talked, generally at least monthly with some of their dev's, but trying to steal another projects source? Especially that source would be asinine. We'd have spent another year in development and I'd have committed suicide.

At one point we needed source help, but Ladoth found us and salvation and righteousness followed.

But, like I said, we knew folks on the project but never actively participated. And there are some folks from their project that can attest to that. I'm leaving them nameless out of respect to their privacy.

We never said that. It's a couple of OLDER developers on EQClassic, NOT any of the present developers on Project1999, nor any of the past developers.

If anything, we welcome a project like this because it shows a large following for a classic server. At least I do.
