The private servers have been up a while. But it is always hard for fan projects to gain traction for devs, players, or donations, when the IP could be yanked at any time. NCSoft granting a license should provide one heck of a shot in the arm for this cult classic game.

Have they actually officially given their blessing to Project 1999 and people pirating old copies?

Last I checked, the P99 team's official stance was still 'we can't help you acquire an old copy'

Officially, no. But they're not selling copies of EverQuest Titanium anymore either. So they're ignoring the issues.

Project 1999 has a written agreement with Daybreak though.
