Also, as has been discussed many times on the message boards, the Emulator is not illegal. Because of that, Verant cannot "go after" gotfrags.com.

Anyhow, I'm not intending to flame you in any manner - merely arguing my case. =)

I understand where you are coming from I did suggest ages ago (not trying to take credit (numours others were talking about it too)) that is it would be good to have a central login or at least something that would list all the eqEMU servers currently up.

The main reason I am disagreeing with the way that they have done things is that they have not released any way for individuals to run there own login server. I know that that other eq emulator (hackersquest?? cannot remember the name) actually provides server ops with the option of also running their own login server. So it is possible. Not to mention that they already have code in place to do the login server (hence they have one up and running, I am sure verant didnt say to them, hey here is a login server for you guys!).

As to flaming me I dont take your comment that way at all. There was nothing personal in what you said and I actually do agree that it would be good to have a central login server. I just disagree with the fact that they take the option away from the individual and make desicions for all the users of the code.
