Regarding the Login Server source code...

Don’t beat a dead horse. It’s only going to be seen as bad criticism and shut out the administration team more from our concerns.

The primary reason the logion server source code is not public availably is of the encryption that is needed for login details and ultimately... credit card details (used to be, dunno about now).

I Agree with the Dev Team on this one, The Login Server Source code being publicly available, have the potential to kill the entire Project... Why? Because (if I remember correctly, maybe someone with more expertise in the area can confirm or disprove this) is because it will bring the full wrath of SoE down on us.


Which we DO NOT WANT! We want EQEmu to thrive. EQEmu and SoE seem o be balanced and as such, SoE leaves EQEmu alone.

However that being said, if Minilogin could be adaptor to allow the running of private servers, just not enforce IP (this may not be possible, due to encryption) then I think it would be a goer.

But as it stands, Keep the Login Server source code, closed source and locked away, these no need to have it available.
However, if the encryption in live has changed enough to warrant the current encryption useless, they maybe I could be released and binary... hoping for anything more is just not going to happen.
Any who, let’s not turn this into a thread about login server... there’s millions on the same topic... let’s keep focused.
