I played on WR before they got that C&D order and chose to shut it down to avoid the heat. I was even reading and using some of your helpful advice back then, going through the grind of trying to create a server, when things were a lot more difficult for newbies in the mid 2000's Glad to see you're still around though.

Apologies for my bluntness, it was hard to understand your perspective given the vague context on the past event, but since you know and were there, I consider this situation far worse than what happened to WR (which was as mentioned, a C&D to a direct server only, which was really independent of eqemu at the time, and later just popped up on a new name some time later SoD).
This impact also includes the reasons you mention, before was very difficult to get setup and unfortunately this current entanglement caused important contributors who were doing a good job solving those types of problems had to take the former in terms of your suggestions going forward for the project. Or some cannot contribute outside of their own server/to another game emulator with agreements they have signed with "The Company".
As always, this project was for the love of the game and everyone wanted to have some fun in their small EverQuest world. I would hope those who are such a big part of the picture can take part in the project without specific servers legal issues impacting their contributions.
