I know this subject has been talked about before but with all the recent flak from Sony and 2 C&D orders, what comes next? If they did shut down the EMU I doubt Sony would come after all the thousands of little guys with their own servers that they didn't know about. I guess as long as the little guys had little servers and little followings, who would know?
What is the reason for not releasing the login server code? Is it the crypto? Is crypto necessary to run your server (because of mini-login I would think not)? Can we do without it and still have the crypto-less login server code?
I've seen old login server code out there but haven't seen it work with the newer files it includes. So that route is effectively closed unless someone creative figured it out. If the code for the server is out, and people are working on code for the client, why is the login code secret? That would seem to me to be the full triangle at that point. Change the content and voila, your own personalized MMORPG.
This isn't meant to anger any of the devs with an old question revisited but I know this is on more people's minds than my own. I just needed to find something to do at work besides working
