In the view of the foregoing, the Company approaches you as follows.

 

1. Copyright breach

In accordance with article 1229 of the Russian Civil Code a rightholder may, upon his sole discretion, empower third parties to or prohibit them from using a result of intellectual activities, where absence of consent cannot be treated as permit.

As you can see the WHOIS data seems to match INNOVA's details. There are some missmatches tho. I wouldn't easily call that a fake one. Perhaps someone else could also add some info.

this affects all chronicles or you had a latest?

you had big online?

 

It couldn't affect anything pre H5 since the copyright did not belong to Innova or NcWest at the time and the licensing agreement is not retroactive. Only NcSoft themselves can sue you for pre H5 usage and that's only if you are providing a modified client.

I love how they found us an not the heavy hitters like E-Global or RPG Club. I believe their issue is merely with the artwork / client on our website. We'll comply with the removal / modification of all copyrighted content and see how the process goes.

Maybe someone reported you, otherwise it just happened.

As i found out there are PvP videos on Youtube that removed because of Innova Co. Copyright breach.

Oh, you are working on something though-out and well made while we produce hot p2w garbage? It would be a shame if someone would dangle legal notice...


Just another example how Innova will do anything* to screw community up.

    • We are certainly not an ambulance, but we will definitely cure you of blacklists and empty pockets. Live freely with SX! Each of you will receive a trial version of SX to familiarize yourself with the product, all you have to do is post in this thread
    • It's also the players' fault, because there have been decent servers implementing some of the things you said plus some other 'innovations', plus many QOL things for newbies (ingame bestiary, with drops searchers, etc). In the end, it's the players who decide to feed into that shit and play the most garbage servers simply because the owners of the servers gave their clan leaders 100 euros, or they insta quit the server because they didn't win the first QA, etc, etc, etc.   In the end, if a server is garbage or great it doesn't really matter if the players don't wanna stay in there.   Players are no better than the devs themselves, in the end it seems there are abusive devs who will milk the shit out of their willingly milkable players, or there are none, goes both ways.
    • In my opinion, L2 is dead because the people who make servers didn’t adapt to today’s reality. People are getting older, life moves faster, there are more responsibilities, and less free time. And I’m not even talking about newcomers—how can you expect someone new to this game to learn by Googling every drop location or quest requirement? These things should’ve been integrated into the game, made accessible with just a few clicks through the interface. Instead, so much time was wasted trying to recreate retail-like features that no one asked for. Everyone hates autofarm, but why? Because admins never found a smart way to implement it. You could have made it available only in specific zones, with reduced drops, working like Adrenaline, or auto-teleporting to farm for a limited time per day—just enough to help people with limited time stay relevant in-game. There should also be zones with better drops, where active farming actually matters. Other features feel pointless—like the Life Stone system. Spamming LS to get a skill? Instead, you could create a system where you level up the skill with low chances per level, something that feels progressive and fair. Crafting should be simpler too. Right-click a recipe, and the required materials should show up right there. As for sieges, why not create daily clan war events at peak hours—one for Europeans, one for Latinos? You could spawn crystals inside or outside castles that give points and trigger PvP. Add a boss during the event that gives even more points, and let the top clan in the ranking take the castle. I could go on forever, but what’s the point? The community died because the people who had the knowledge to improve the game just took the easy way out, copying the same server formula over and over until no one could enjoy playing it anymore.
    • It's not because I'm an admin that he treated me differently. I actually gave him several clients from my side without him even knowing they came from me, and most of them had no issues. I was also waiting 3–4 weeks at times for things I bought from AvE, even when I was in a rush. He still delivered in the end. That said, I'm not defending him blindly. I'm just saying it's unlikely he’d risk scamming someone over 60–100€, especially knowing how quickly word spreads here.
