For those of you with lower than room temperature iq's. You can't play without the old files. Bypassing the sony patcher (eqgame patchme), will only bypass the patcher, it doesn't magicly roll back your files. If the date on your eqgame.exe isn't 12/05/02 you are SOL.
As for pay to play, thats totaly within the rights of the server administrator, thier bandwidth thier hardware, there isn't anything anyone can say about it.
About the legality of the project, this isn't really the place for such things but, in short. Reverse engineering for compatability is legal in most states and countries. The sticky part, is does that state or country consider click thru eula binding contracts, and has developer "X" agreed to it.
The next "legaly quesionable" issue, is a non issue. Copywrite, we don't claim to have created the protocol, we don't distribute content, we attribute to thier copywrite holders thier respective artworks.
