Actually the server code was released a long time ago and it was used to form the private server software known as Aegis. Eathena is the most commonly used emulator for RO and doesn't use any code from Aegis or the ripped off code from when the code to iRO servers was leaked. The code to the bot however works on both official and private servers even though the code that was developed is obviously different, as Eathena doesn't work with the Gravity Corporation.

Anyways, Halfslashed makes the best point here which is that no one gives a **** to make a bot like that.

The code for RO was never released, it was obtained illegally and then passed around. Totally different.

I question if you read my post, the use of the word released was meant as released under the name Aegis as a public release claiming it as their own. It's funny since I said leaked in the very next sentence, and it wasn't obtained illegally, it was leaked. The distribution of it publicly was what was illegal, not the methods in which it was obtained, although I'm sure there are financial implications for whoever did leak it due to contractual obligations.

I read what you wrote. Leaking implied that someone at Gravity Korea was like, "Hey I'm just going to post this **** to the internet". Which isn't what happened.

Edit:

Apparently we have very different definitions of a leak. A leak to me implies that someone who was an employee of the developing company released the code outside of official sources. Others seem to be using it to just mean that the code was available outside of the official area by any means, which to me is highly erroneous. The code was only released to outside individuals due to their servers being hacked, which would be illegal.

So yes, the server code for RO was gotten illegally. End of story.

True facts are bolded for emphasis. The term leak is used very poorly in this quote but none the less even wikipedia makes reference to how it was obtained.

To further note on my end, I played RO a long long time ago, it was well known to long term players from beta to open play what happened and I dont see the information on wikipedia and doubt you'd find it but buried in some RO fansite forum from 8 years ago.
