It is quite ironic to see threats of intellectual property infringement regarding a logo designed specifically for a private Lineage 2 server, considering that private servers, by their very nature, constitute unauthorized use of NCSoft’s copyrighted material.
To clarify the legal reality:
The Lineage 2 name, client, server files, and all related visual elements are protected intellectual property of NCSoft.
No private server operates under legal license or authorization from NCSoft.
Therefore, any assertion of copyright ownership over a logo created for a project that is itself a copyright infringement is fundamentally invalid.
As for the logo in question:
Unless the logo has been officially registered with the appropriate intellectual property office.
Unless it is being used commercially or by a registered business entity.
then claims of copyright violation are legally unsupported and unenforceable.
Furthermore, the suggestion that a designer working on an unauthorized or illegal project "such as a private server" retains enforceable rights over that design demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of how intellectual property law works.
In any case, the logo in question, if it was ever used, has already been removed. However, issuing legal threats over assets tied to a fundamentally infringing project is not only baseless, but also absurd.
No further communication will be entertained unless the following can be provided:
Verified copyright registration documents.
Evidence that the logo does not include or derive from NCSoft’s protected IP, and
Proof that it is being used in a legal and officially authorized context.
