If we have our own client it's no problem. The client tells the server that zone xyz isn't there and the server doesn't let the player zone in. The sticky part is where models/item icons/etc. aren't there. In that case the client needs some sort of default to fall back to. Done properly it shouldn't be too much of a problem to accommodate varying amounts of available content.

Patcher

Would it be illegal to have a patcher distributing eqlive files to a previous date? Seeing winters roar supplies old files, I dont see why not. I dont know much about the legal section but I have read Winter Roars legal disclaimer and im not sure if that would cover it but I will defenetly contact my family lawyer and talk to him about this, and have some real legal advice. I am really confused about all of this, and also. I have several EQ Live Accounts, and as long as sony still allows people to have "Free Trials", its not really a big problem to download updates hehe.

So don't include them. Go up to POP and end it there.
People that have that set can play (most do).
We call that EQEMUPOP

Now for others that have LOY/LDON/GOD disks
We have EQEMUGOD
People that have the LOY/LDON/GOD disks can play that (most don't, but you can still find em :).

Seems like a simple concept and may work... (Of coarse I'm not writing any of the code so what do I know :)

well what i think is you guys whoever was making those WLD or whatever models and everyone else should just make their OWN game. not using any of EQ's files. then you could patch at your own rate, have your own content and rollback if you have to. but have everything Look and Feel just like EQ withought being it. i would guess it would take a looonggggg time to do that but i think its a good idea...

That's the point of OpenZone, though it doesn't cover everything. There are people making zones with it, though they haven't released their content yet. Within the next few months I hope to see an amount of content come out that will surprise everyone (even me).

I dont play live so I dont click any "I agree" button so that rule dont apply to me and most the people here come to think of it.

it was uhh more of a joke ... but ok :roll:

DIRECTLY VIOLATES TITLE 15 OF UNITED STATES ANTITRUST LAW.

[quote]Sec. 14. Sale, etc., on agreement not to use goods of competitor (

Furthermore, if I really wanted to be mean, I might try to make the argument that banning people who play EQEmu damages the EQEmu team:

[quote]Sec. 13. Discrimination in price, services, or facilities (

Its being worked, it just take a looooong time (count in year)~

And as a final point, this is taken directly from the Department of Justice's guidelines for licensing of intellectual property:

[quote]3.4 Framework for evaluating licensing restraints

In the vast majority of cases, restraints in intellectual property licensing arrangements are evaluated under the rule of reason. The Agencies' general approach in analyzing a licensing restraint under the rule of reason is to inquire whether the restraint is likely to have anticompetitive effects and, if so, whether the restraint is reasonably necessary to achieve procompetitive benefits that outweigh those anticompetitive effects. See Federal Trade Commission v. Indiana Federation of Dentists, 476 U.S. 447 (1986); NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, 468 U.S. 85 (1984); Broadcast Music, Inc. v. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., 441 U.S. 1 (1979); 7 Phillip E. Areeda, Antitrust Law

people have no sense of humor these days :?

Hard to find something funny when the SAME this is brought up at least monthly by people who are serious about it.

bleh people who are serious about have no sense of humor and take everything seriously, the person who listens to everyone and does what he is told ... the person who most people like but never want around just because you want to talk with them

then theres the cool person who could give a shiz about what people tell him to do or anything that goes on around him, careless, and does what he wants ..... GO NUMBER 2!!!
