Pserver days are numbered.

Warmonger is very, very wrong - if Alyson (making millions) can't defend her private server against, what is now a precedent, no amount of "homework" is going to stack up against that. You won't win.

I already said all this in previous posts. Try doing your homework first before copying my posts (yet again). I cant believe you cant use search nor read...

Clearly one of you is gonna shut up and put up. -.-

Aside from the fact we're very off topic, I'm not gonna help matters and actually answer someone's point.

International Law isn't 'always' applicable. Committing a crime and then running away to another nearby country has happened for years. You must have a treaty of extradition between the countries in order to drag someone out and prosecuting a person in their own country which isn't your own is extremely hard. Russia for example insists on trying it's own criminals and international crimes such as hacking are rarely punished or take another country...Canada for example.

You can download from servers around the world as much as you like and not get touched for it. (Music I think) This however is a crime in many other countries.

That's a prime example of a server who didn't do their homework. But notice its been five plus years and a thousand plus servers still exist and only one server was actually prosecuted.

I did. Read your 3 posts above and quit changing your own story.

Was waiting for that to be brought up. :)

The trouble with this is, the more time progresses the more they're adopted world-wide and in all practicality, in the case of digital copyright laws (regarding the emulation of or otherwise running of private servers), finding a service provider in a country this difficult is... well, almost impossible (at least, anything decent anyway that your players will be able to actually use). I'm open for suggestions on the best place to go at the moment though, seems the net gets thinner and thinner each day!

There's no story changing there? Are you blind or just plain stupid? You clearly don't know how private servers work, nor the legal obligations of one. Yes they are illegal, yes there is way to give GameHi the finger and get away with it, and yes having your own source aids that.

You're saying, or implying, you just have to do your homework so you won't get sued.

I'm saying, no that's not the case (see: case above).

You're saying, that's what I said.
I'm saying, no that's not what you said, as above.

What's the problem?

The problem is your spamming the entire forums with crap. You just admitted again to basically repeating all of my posts. What was the sense? You had to copy my stuff again? My guides, tools, programs were not enough for you? You should stop pm'n other community members talking behind my back two. If that's the sum of your ambition go right ahead but shows your only here for 1 thing and 1 thing only. Revenge. You should leave and im sure you'll probably end up with 2-3 more infractions when a mod reviews all the reports (which is a ban). This a place for people like you to learn. Not to come in with guns blazing linking people to your dev site and playing your little games you have been playing for the past several hours. You know your not getting anywheres, nor impressing anyone with your hoolagins. You should go crawl back into that hole you call a development site that you leech all of epvps work to.

Um... how was that "copying you" when I was quoting you saying the exact opposite? I don't mean to sound rude, but you're now making stuff up again. Like... the other thread. Take a step back, I think you're reading things wrong... or something, had someone else read over it and I definitely seem to be making sense, at least... to them.

Also, enough with the "you're stealing my stuff" thing. It's old now, I'm most certainly not stealing your stuff, you know it, I know it, the other community knows it. You only get a kick out of it here because nobody here recognises the work...

They do recognize the work as i've fully explained it all better then your copy & paste. Now are you going to contribute or sit here and spam like you have been for the past several hours? Exactly. You have no intentions of actually sharing something useful, so far all you've done is go "thats mine, thats mine, i like that too". I've accumulated over 50 posts now because of you. Its concrete proof your just a sore to the community.

Upon reading your other post, I am less inclined to think of you as an idiot. In fact, I have a lot more respect for you now. Really, you seem to understand the situation entirely... I don't see why you didn't just state it that way in the first place. :)

However, 911 is adopting an attitude that doesn't really make sense... Honestly, I may not be GameHi, but I've watched stuff like this go on since the pserver scene took off. :/ (I am guessing mostly that...) They left this community alone mostly because it was running on files that had been leaked, and Acclaim really had no ability to do anything about lawsuits and reporting pservers as they were bankrupt themselves. :rolleyes: Well, it's been some time since then, and the actual company has changed as well. Honestly, who can tell what the future holds? If you guys happen to figure out a way to acquire the new stuff in A7 and A6 and make it work, you might just see a change in everything.

I'm not desperate or anything, nor am I trying to kill your thunder... I'm just trying to understand why you guys keep resisting change, even when the company that makes all the files you use makes the real game better, and fixes the problems that made you leave in the first place.

No need to get personal... I'm just saying that nobody should get comfortable until we see them make their move... if they don't, rest easy... if they do, all the stuff I said will most likely happen. It's all left to chance really. Such is life. :(

There's no change to resist, as Warmonger points out, private servers have always been here, it's incredibly tricky to shut them down and they keep respawning anyway. It's like a human going against the ocean with nothing but a sand castle bucket. Therefore, Nexon will just be wasting money, which is why they don't follow through often. Case in point. After the crack down on Maple Story...we still have an awful lot of em left and they're increasing in number.

Its like a virus that keeps spreading, and theres one on this forums right now called "bluecars" :facepalm:

But how can we tell if it's Nexon doing this? They don't really care about Dekaron. :P If anything, I'm thinking this is GH. o.o

THey do care about dekaron since they are losing money cuz of gamehi ^__^

Nexon owns the majority share in Gamehi and therefore are the current owners of Gamehi. Nexon is the one sending out the Cease and Desist...if indeed they are being sent out.

u wearnt the only one who got it... empyreal dekaron got it to.. and i found a loop hole around this hole shutdown server thing :)
