Sorry I didn't respond sooner - I've been busy, etc.

I think this thread has drifted away from the point. Why shouldn't it be possible to make a new server that'll always -always- run the version of EQ that Sony's giving away for free? If I understand things correctly, then Sony hasn't really done anything against EQ Emu so much as against would-be cheaters who're already paying to play on the EQ Live servers. I think, by now, Sony would've taken legal action against EQ Emu if they either thought they had grounds to do so or if they cared enough. Why should they care if there's yet another free server that just ... doesn't get patches?

Let's be honest with ourselves here. I think Sony would have less of a problem with us running a free version of EQ that's inherently "broken". Besides, I wandered in after 9/13. :P

SOE has gone after "popular" server with C&D orders, and the version there giving out for free changes so that wouldnt work ether.

I bought EQ from walmart and one of my friends bought his from some gaming store on the same day. The disks had 2 diferent versions of EQ on it. SOE changes there distro so much that we cant freeze on any version without handing out files, and thats against the law.
