Discussion Ncsoft Copyright Announce

[Tryskell]

Excellent idea. deMEV has already started it: http://demev.ru/main/?p=457

 

PS: and make code open source, right? :D

 

Well here, it's a real ripoff :P. NCSoft will close it simply because you used "chronicle" word.

Right, so not the stolen assets, but the word, alright, alright. Great subterfuge.

blatant copy != stolen. And tbh it can't be worst than the original (which goes wrong and wrong with time).

 

You haven't enough chinese blood running in your veins.

I really am sorry. I think I shall start the harakiri process now. Will you/or SweeTs help me?

[Tryskell]

Harakiri is Japanese, baka !

I know. But I'd rather die the Japanese way.

I don't help enemies of my glorious nation, scum ! Moreover when they die for nothing, you didn't lose your master or dishonored. You're just a spy sent by japaneses to steal the secret of fireworks.

Well, they created the game client and server side. Writing emulator and using their client is a theft without two words. If you can write entire server, just write own game - profit.

On the other hand, the official server sucks ass, i wonder what will peeps invent to go through this clownfest and keep havin private s3rbid0rZ :)

 

And by the way,

 

"the Infringing Code no doubt was obtained by interrupting the encrypted communication that exists between the consumer-side and server-side of NCSOFT’s proprietary game code"

 

What does it mean? They dont like the fact that someone reversed the protocol and created a server for that, and thats basically it?

you are wrong. There has a new term which very clearly states that emulating now is just as illegal as client modding. Sure they might never give a shot for a server but if some angry kid reports a server the odds are not in their favour. And that sucks

The solution is one, just make a game like lineage2 but find another name. But I don't think so that ncsoft will make this, some players don't like to play In l2 official. Lineage will lose many people's with this way....

Sounds like they are just scorching Earth.

 

If they can't have the players, no one can.

 

Sucks to be such a shit company. Private servers have (or had) the potential to offer something different, they target a completely different audience.

Actually it wasn't NCsoft behind the this, just some kid filing DMCA takedown requests for fun

I dunno, I kind of see their reasoning behind this. I mean I won't lie, if all major private servers died, I probably would go to offi. And you know if at least 1 in every 100 players would think think the same as me, the retail would be crowded as hell once again  :not bad:

Ok makes more sense.

One more fail action from NCSOFT.

[HyperBlown]

this wont stop the private servers ... believe me... Ncsoft gains nothing by doing this btw. Im pretty sure they wont gain new players by shutting the code sites.
