New city of heroes servers were redone.
Everything you read from our old server description disregard. We will have one server.
This server will be free to play to anyone who wants to join but for anyone who wants a little extra when you donate to us we will give you:re redone. Everything you read from our old server description disregard. We will have one server.
This server will be free to play to anyone who wants to join but for anyone who wants a little extra when you donate to us we will give you:
Double Experience
Extra chance of getting rare or extra rare enhancement recipes
Double Influence and prestige for you and your Super Group
Extra chance of getting better inspirations.
Website crap, description crap and those bonuses are sort of pay2win O.o.
This makes NO SENSE AT ALL!
CoH is 85% story, 14% leveling and 1% grind O.o. Well at least in my eyes.
But still....who needs double experience? It's useful to raise some toons, but not for a main.
Who needs double inf/prestige? If you have a Vet-Char there shouldn't be any problem O.o.
Who needs an extra chance of getting better inspis? The most common drop in the whole game XD.
Yeah...donate to them....like 20 bucks....sorry I ment bugs.
And no further development?
Lemme guess: a server rip and the people behind it might have actual no clue what they are doing there.
Don't get me wrong! I am actually the first one who screams YEAH! for such a project if some conditions are met:
The whole project is about learning - understand systems, code, extend code and so on.
The whole project is open source - everyone can profit from it (in a not financial way of course)!
The whole project is free - no donation crap. If you want to do something you can do it without asking the people for money!
I know that a server costs money, BUT overall they should do it for their own sake, and not ripping off the community.
In my whole life, even if worked on bigger projects likes l2j, coad, dawn of light, swgemu, AOCell and so on, I have never took any form of value more than a thank you. I did that just on the purpose of learning, so no need to ripping people off.
Yeah, I could really begin to puke when I see such crap
.
Not because it is BS what they are doing, because someone who comes across might think the whole scene is this way.
Less community = less people to work with :/. And that's what it's all about in the end
In terms of legal:
It really depends on where you live. The IP belongs to it's owner, that's something wich is the same, not matter where you live.
But here in germany such development is a greyzone in law.
You are allowed to create such a server by yourself.
You are allowed to have a client wich can communicate with the server (CoH in this case).
You are NOT allowed to modify the third party client, cause IP, code and so on belong to their respective owner.
How can you run it then? Simple: You are allowed to modify your local system. In Windows it would mean your Host file, or just redirect the connection by a third party tool.
But you are NOT allowed to run such a server for the public, except for testing purposes. On your local system you are allowed to run nearly everything you want
.
127.0.0.1 is you friend in this case
