This is false information.

If the client at any point is hosted on a publicly accessible server* other than one which is owned or endorsed by BigPoint then you are immediately in breach of BigPoint's copyright. In fact, it'd be several cases of copyright infringement because it would be one for the images, one for the code, the sounds and so on.

*Note that a publicly accessible server is anything on the world wide web. It doesn't matter if it's only for "trusted members", it'd still be publicly accessible with the right abilities as the server would have to be connected to the internet (which we all have access to).

On top of that, the same copyrighted material would have been used to boost the administrators publicity, traffic to websites etc. Which I believe is also against a trading law somewhere.

The amount of money that it would cost to keep a full private server online is through the roof. This means that unless the administrator has a bottomless pit of money, they would HAVE to bring in some sort of income from the service. Even if this was in the form of donations, advertisements etc. this would all be "damages" that BigPoint could easily claim back. Let alone the "damages" that would be claimed for the loss of revenue.

So no, it is not legal no matter what way you look at it.

This is where anyone who is creating a private server always gets stuck. The only real way forward to a private server is actually to create an entirely new game (both client and server) based upon the same ideas that DarkOrbit uses.

TO -JD-: I'm not trying to ruin your party or anything, I'm in exactly the same position as yourself. A solution really needs to be found.

If you host it on the DeepWeb it still being ilegal but harder to find ^^

I don't think that it would make sense to host a game like this in the "DeepWeb", especially because there is just no bandwidth(/nodes) given.

@jD
When you want to test again, I'd love to take part, too. I am sure I could help by some detailed reporting.

I'll be hosting it on my own network, this way I can control my peers and transit providers more securely. At the moment I peer with Hurricane Electric. This allows me to run the servers and any legal issues be directed to me, rather than the hosting company just suspending my account.

At the moment I have 2 1Gbps ports bonded so I got some decent bandwidth...

How do you handle the milions of Uridium a player "needs" to rise a great account?
Are Players able to get it for free or by a lower price than DO?

Who the hell doesn't want to play on it?
If it's gonna be 2010 client (old ships pilot bio and no zeta kappa and other sh*t gates) and the olad fat lasers,plus the higher rates (in ways of earning Uri and credits) simply can't wait <3
I miss the old DO and this man is gonna bring that back to me,not just me to almost any DO player

Theoretically, a lot. We will be pushing the limits of the CPU and .NET runtime before the limits of the transit.
