Legal ilegal why?

 

I think its ilegal because is a copy of original game ( it change java but...is a copy, skills,quests.chars,etc)

 

 

[Anghel]

l2j is legal....as long as...YOU...

 

1. Can prove that 80% of ur donations go to keep server alive (thats for every private)

2. as ur not Modding ur client

 

 

edit: its not a develop subject it should be in general

[zunix]

u are little bit wrong...

 

l2java = legal (because its a free own codet server emulator)

playing on private server = ilegal

client modding = ilegal

[panic]

Stop now.L2j is legal and i have ask developer from ncsoft.

 

But NOT DONATES

NOT CLIENT MODDING

Do you know what the word Donate means?

 

<--- What the word Donate means --->

Donate is a gift given, typically to a cause or/and for charitable purposes. A donation may take various forms, including cash, services, new or used goods as i.e. clothing, toys, food, vehicles, emergency or humanitarian aid items, and can also relate to medical care needs as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are also called gifts in kind.

 

<--- Legal --->

Donations are gifts given without return consideration. This lack of return consideration means that, in common law, an agreement to make a donation is an "imperfect contract void for want of consideration. Only when the donation is actually made does it acquire legal status as a transfer or property. In civil law jurisdictions, on the contrary, donations are valid contracts, though they may require some extra formalities, such as being done in writing.

playing on private server = ilegal

its not if the owner gives you permission

[zunix]

but the line between legal and illegal is in l2 small...

[DrenepiaWorld]

l2j is absolutely legal because is not based on NCsoft's files

its just an e-m-u-l-a-t-o-r

But if you made any client modding i think its illegal

actually its legal because l2j its a demo of the retail lineage2 thats my opinion :)

[pikasas]

l2j is legal because its not an official server but its emuliator

Hello,

 

Thank you for contacting Lineage II Support. All Lineage II servers that are not run specifically by NCsoft are illegal. It doesn't matter if they use donations or run the server for free. Hosting a Lineage II server is a federal crime. The penalties for this crime can lead to a fine of up to $100,000 and 10 years in a federal penitentiary. If you have any more questions, please let us know and we will be more than happy to assist you.

 

Regards,

The Lineage II Support Team
