I never would have thought of it, well I alrdy managed to get "GodofNerds" to work.
Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
GodofNerds is pretty good.
It's prolly unique enough you'll never have to fight anyone for it if you stick with it.

A bunch of people are reserse engineering SWG so that people can play the Pre-CU version of the game, you know the version before SOE fudged the game. They'll be realsing a sand box witht eh ability to create a character any time soon.

Sounds illegal as all hell.

I'm no expert, though.

I'd imagine that the biggest legal hurdle would be the game content, which is pretty much all copyrighted. I don't think that there is actually anything illegal about reverse engineering the server.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
There's likely something illegal (in the civil, not criminal sense) about using the copyrighted client with it.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
nope, completely legal SOE is trying to find ways to sue but they can't. SWGEmu is doing this by reverse engineering server packets and building the server from scratch. Essentially their building it completely from scratch and as such not illegal. It does violate the Eula though but that would only get your account with them banned. Riiight banned from a game you werent playing anyways.

I'm pretty sure the DMCA specifically forbids reverse-engineering of software, too.
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
Nope. Only circumventing copyright protections in doing so (and there are exceptions to that, too).
Of course, they may well have circumvented copyright protections, but they might not have.

ild suggest checking their site i only know a little bit of what they did to get around this.
