PayPal Losted :S

Hello, It seems like joymax finally started fighting back, It's about time. And what i really like is, They know how to hit this greedy ridiculous community, Right in the wallet.
You can fight back and probably get your account back, If you managed to prove that you are NOT selling. And your money is all about donations.

You can not prove something that is not the case. Replacing the "buy silk" button with "donation" does not mean that this really is a donation. Simply because you get a compensation.

"they will find a gap in the lawsuit" yeah sure bud they will find a gap in a copyright infringement lawsuit.  good example [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] when push comes to shove, joymax will hire a few GOOD lawyers(not daizunba obv) to take care of all of their legal stuff and bb ur servers

That's why you should:

1. Not use your real name/Identification when registering for a dedicated server/domain/Facebook page.
2. Host your servers in a country that couldn't care less about copyright violations, such as China and Russia. You can host in European countries, but refer to point #1.
3. Use a payment processor like PW and SR instead of receiving money directly on your personal account(s). Some people might think of it as some sort of money laundering for a fee, and they're not wrong.
4. Not use any copyrighted materials related to the game you're trying to host a private server for, such as graphics and/or weapon and skill names on your website.
5. Not host the game client on your servers or your personal Google Drive/cloud server.
6. Set up a DMCA page on your website receiving complaints about copyright infringement, and you'll be the first one to know if they have found something they don't like about your website.
7. Remain Anonymous, and don't let anything connect back to you. Hell, you can even claim to be somebody else from a different country and it will work, I've seen this.

P.S. All the "use the word donation" crap will simply not work, because a donation typically doesn't require getting something in return. So, legally speaking, you're making a purchase no matter how you phrase it on your website.

You can't prove that. You have an obvious "purchase" page set up, giving people virtual currency in exchange for money. That's NOT donation.

People should be happy that Joymax only shuts down Facebook pages and Payments. In theory the could sue the shit out of every pServer hoster.

since the moment they sold their files to public is no longer available a law sue i beth this stragedy is to try to recover players to there shity service of scamms and over use Farm botter to make money on the side we all know that out 3000 player in ISRO 2700 WERE FARM BOTTS FROM JOYMAX TO FORCE PEOPLE TO BUY SILK AND USE PREM FCK THEM

Joymax never "sold" their files to the public.
They got stolen by other people. These people released the files to the public.

They did. he means vsro, csro and other versions of silkroad. they got sold by joymax for a fair amount of money and a yearly % of their income.

If they are doing this because they are preparing to release the arabian race i will be so glad :LUL:

Way too late to fight back honestly.

Nope.
Joymax never sold these files. Not even to the hoster of cSRO, vSRO and so on.
Sure these versions are official. These companies always rent the license to use the files and the trademark. Nothing more. Nothing less. Joymax still owns the files and the international trademark of Silkroad. Thats why Joymax can do everything they want with these versions. Remember when Joymax decided to shut down rSRO, because they lost interest in supporting that version? Would not have been possible when the rSRO hoster bought the files.
Besides that Joymax did not allow the foreign-publishers to modify the local versions in any way. I do not know how it is today. But back in the day e.g. cSRO always had EXP/SP events running. Simply because CIMO was not allowed to change the EXP rate in the files. I do not know who they handle this today. Anyway, should be clear what I mean :D

Thats also the reason why they can switch the local publisher of a SRO version so easily.

No way, They have nothing done regarding the Arabian race.

What I might be really interested on is a new skill mechanics and new dungeons, and am not speaking of the current cloned areas that Joymax call them dungeons, because that is what private servers do, not an official game.

if it's not the arabian race it's a big update or change.. their stock started to rise since january.. there's an obvious plan made if they start to report private servers.. they could've done it years ago.

why now? :)
