Ummm, so the developers can read it...

Unless you're lucky enough to have the right files lying around, you're not able to use the emu until something is done WRT the patcher. If you don't have the files you're SOL until a new version rolls which catches up to EQLive, and I'm guessing that won't be soon. The issues with the patcher will be handled by devs, so why shouldn't I post a design/legality question here to get an answer straight from the horses mouth?

As far as I'm concerned, the devs are the only ones here who know enough about what's going on to give a sane response as to whether the idea is even workable. If it is, then the devs are prolly the ones who will make it work.

Posting anything about the patcher in a general forum will just get another 400 people banned because they don't bother to read the part about 'don't ask for the files or give them to other people.'

That answer your question? I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here, but it doesn't seem to me like it doesn't belong here.
