On the Legality of MxO EMU

[Neo]

It is a very interesting discussion.

Is it legal or not ?
I think its a "greyzone" , the server for itself isnt really illegal..sure SOE Eulas say "you dont have to use server emulators" etc..but : you can start mxo with "noeula" - just kidding.

At least i think SOE and WB dont care about MxO and i think they are not interested in this.
And if we dont make "profit" with this (it is just a fan project) it shouldnt be a big problem i think.

I think general this "private server" topic is a very hot topic...cause there are several games out there and some of them are "died" too.

On "normal" Single Player Games, a game can never die, cause you can play it in 10 years too if you want (like super mario bros 1 or maniac mansion), but at MMORPGs you need the Server Application to play the game in 10 years again.

I think for the reason that we only want to have the ability to play our favorite online game after the official servers are shut down, this shouldnt be a big problem.

And if SWGEmu didnt got big problems (they had to reversed the client cause they had no packets from old combat system), i didnt think that we will get probs.
