[Redwarrior87]

Anyone know of any populated free servers, say 100+? If so please make a reply with the names and how to get connected to them. Thanks

When Dark Horizons is finnished, we plan to have a community base that can compete with DT eventually...

[Melwin]

This is very worrying. Rest assured, we will be upping the ante soon in response to this new competing factor.

[XelloSollex]

Why compete with each other?

[Cisyouc]

Why compete with each other?Because boxing 2 servers at once is a pain.

Why compete with each other?

Good idea...except for one thing. I am a major player in the world of standardization and centralization, but in this case, centralization may be a bad idea. Many lower pop servers stays below radar. 2-4 kick ass servers gives Sony something to target. :(

Just my 2 cents.

[fault]

that may be true. however if you dont distribute a clientyour ok :P just distribute a "patch" written in your own code if a user uses it there modifying the client thmselves :P and also if the eqemu is written with mostly new code thensony cant do anything fairuse act protect eqemu :D went through this with alot of ragnarok and lineage server stuff with gravity and ncsoft... they jsut like to scare devs of other software because its usually better.. and so far eqemu looks to bebeter heck i see someone even fixd the boats that sony screwed up and cant fix LOL ( at least on one server)

If you remember though, the only reason Sony could shut down WR was because they were using Sony's patcher. Everyone had to legitimatley OWN the software(minus the expansion packs) so they couldn't do anything about that. I see no reason why we have to use software we legally own on Sony's servers, I own Unreal Tournament for PC, do I have to play on multiplayer servers hosted by Epic Games, NO, instead I play on servers hosted by clans and individuals. The expansion part is Sony's own fault for letting anyone with EQ installed download them through the patcher, you can't use them on a Live server without purchasing it in some form, but you can still get the software.

Nice to see the emulator bubble is intact and preserved by the usual lies.

Even if WR had no patcher, they would have still cent a CnD and they would have still been shut down. Its Sony v. Tiny (relatively) Organization. Theres power in numbers, regardless of who is right.

[Zlandicar]

I hope u do well Richardo but i cant see your server reaching this kinda people from the get go and with only 20 something zones u still got alot of work ahead of you but i wish u the best of luck dude :D

/me resists the urge to CnP the relevant slashdot posts.

Except that Sony's real grudge lies with emulation stealing customers away from EQlive, and not so much that as a minor nusance becoming a major problem later on... putting out the burning leaves before they become a raging forrest fire. This is evident in their unsubtle attempts to outpace live compatibility with EQemu.

It's a classic example of a greedy buncha suits exercising their non-existant right to profit, and protecting their interests. Were it up to sony... they would shut down Blizzard, Mythic, and NCSoft through cicuit court action (stomping out competition). Let's be glad it isn't up to them.

And affirming what ciscyouc said, it's also a matter of who's willing to pay for expensive legal fees in order to prove who's within their legal rights.

The years old raft in toxxulia forrest works just fine for me. :-D

It really is time to end the debate about legality. The emu's are illegal, period. It doesn't matter if you don't charge, don't share code, don't use the client, et cetera. I would have thought WR's fun would at least open the eyes of some of the stubborn.

And by the way, just about every country in the world is involved with the international copywright laws that apply...I know of a couple exceptions, there are likely a few more.

Just because you buy a magazine doesn't mean you get to use the content without permission.

Other than that, there are some fun things going on...and I hope developers continue to enjoy themselves, and that gamers continue to check out their work.

This is right about as retarded as saying that EQEmu or WR is legal. http://emote.brainwashing.us/laugh.gif

Its more of who will listen when they get a cease and desist and when to ignore it :) Sony's threats are just simple cease and desists through email, if they really wanted to take the effort they would just have someone give you the letter of notice to show up in court next week :P

[mattmeck]

Actualy Image, the C&D I recieved for the Scorp2k web site was delivered certified mail and i had to sign for it.

I don't get it why would you get the cease and desist for scorpious2k, whats your relation to them? lol

[Knight Errant]

What is Dark Horizons? Any link to their site?

Isn't that Allegedly Unethical .... <snicker>.

Unethical to put your personal information in a domain name? No nowadays it is just asking for spam and junk mail honestly. :P

You can get a filtered email account from Network Solutions for use in whois records specifically to prevent spam problems.

You pay for it of course.
