I don't know if a lot of you know but I used to run one of the largest emulated WOW servers out there mmorpg4free.com


We had a great run for almost 3 years but in the end it was money and corruption that distorted the site. I was basically back stabbed as my databases were stolen by some of the developers. They decided money was more important then just having fun. They reopened with another site named scapegaming. At that point I washed my hands of it all. They even wanted to buy the domain from me and I told them I would take 5k for it. Then they spun it as me trying to extort them. Well its a great day for Justice as Per Digg I just found out they got the shit sued out of them for 90 million dollars. Guess what comes around goes around. They got what they deserved and I think they should all be in jail.

Quote:A federal court has thrown down the gauntlet against the operator of a private server used to play the MMORP game World of Warcraft, awarding Vivendi subsidiary Blizzard Entertainment a staggering $89 million. (Here's the court's order and the final judgment.)

The defendant in the case, Scapegaming, earned about $3 million in profits collecting micropayments from users on the unauthorized network.

Your friends made $3m from your stolen server over the years? .. wow.

Talk about abusing blizzard's intellectual property...
Then again, their lives are pretty much ruined if convicted, and they wont benefit from any of that money
edit: they were convicted already.. ouch

I always support projects on the objection that if the content isn't owned by the project then there is no way it should be sold. Same thing with Dolphin. We have gotten many offers about money from large and small companies that we readily decline every time. The projects I support are not for gaining money but to expand understanding and to do things no one else has before. Knowledge is power and should be shared freely to those who can understand it. Hence my support for open source.

Yeah. Knowledge is not like money and shall never will. Knowledge, when given increases unlike money. I will not like Dolphin to be used as a commercial emulator as it will be illegal as stated by nintendo and we will be dishearted to purchase it only for the sake of enjoying it.

OMG! Scape Gaming! WoWScape? I recognize that server! A friend of mine came often to my home playing that server (in 2007)... and now the server is taken down...
...But it seems they're back as Universal Gaming... Oh no, they aren't...
...Ah, so that's what happened. Scape gaming closed down, all because of Peyton's (a GM's) greediness, all GM's slowly left...
