Private server.

[timdraco]

So not going to name any names but there is interest in starting a private server as a few people still have the backend code for this game. The question is.........Will there be players? Regarding copyright issues it turns out that if a game is shutdown and auctioned off all its assets its freeware after 3 years. So.......anyone interested?

[timdraco]

discord will be coming soon.

what happened to the game and why they have shut down it?

[Exodude]

I'd love to have the discord when its up. Probably best to private message the link so certain clowns don't end up there.

ID LITERALLY PAY A MONTHLY FEE FOR THIS GAME

I'm down. I am sooooo down for this

[TomokiThingzTTV]

If there was a private server, I would love to be apart of it. I could even bring in new players to help bolster the community :D.

He's going to talk to his legal aid and see if they can do that. The last i heard trion worlds had the rights and where not doing anything with it at all. I know champions of titan used the basic source code to build there game so its not like it isn't happening else where. Ill keep everyone informed. He wants to bring this back really bad and i don't blame him. He is talking about doing it anyway even with the dmc notice.

if you did actually get an dmc and then move foward with an private server
then they can legally sue those working on it pretty sure
since the dmc is to act as an warning, once thats sent if ignored they can move on to more legal actions.
so those involved might see an hefty lawsuit in the future from this

plus theres bound to be people reporting on this
from the steam forum and elsewhere, so that means upon launch someone might email the copyright holders about this leading to further legal action.

one of your biggest problems is marvels owned by disney which is an huge company
and most companys dont like allowing there stuff used without permission
once heard an major reason for that is they have to uphold there copyright or they may lose it or something? dunno 100% all about that

just do a simple look into abandonware and you could have saved yourself a lot of time and energy in typing this nonsensical trash, especially since disney's last priority is that... who owns star wars? disney! look at all the private servers still around in 2020 and NOTHING has happened to them.

you really think an private server would be in the clear just because they havent acted yet? all it would take is there lawyers telling them too and bam
plus if you had read before they got hit by an dmca which is an warning before an lawsuit usually
so you could have saved urself time by reading back

dont be getting them into thinking its all safe when they could end up with an lawsuit

an private server? learn some proper english, but to answer your question, yes, yes i do because there is still nothing being done with star wars private servers and old disney abandonware games alike. they are still current and active servers. in theory, they could take action but this would more than likely be in the form of a simple request to take the game down with a warning. i've seen this several times in the past and it ends peacefully. quit fear mongering people. lastly, i've read plenty into the situation and it was because it was a huge game with a specific company working on the game, they wanted money, plain and simple.

Abandonware isn't a legally recognized concept in copyright law.

[chillhallow]

no, abandonware is not legal (nor did i say it was). even if the creator abandons a copyrighted work, it does not become public property automatically. the copyright on the work exists until the copyright expires, the duration of which varies from country to country. if you want to look up specifics you can check out more information online. it's free information! the whole point of the conversation went over your head clearly... it really doesn't matter at this point anyways because i'm over 99% sure that op is just trolling and it will never happen because gamigo probably deleted everything to make space for the failure that archeage is.

This isn't remotely true in any circumstance. Did you get this info out of a cracker jack box?

[ClxppedHabibi#DatWay]

Ive been waiting for another reboot! would def play again

[FrodoFraggins]

If someone had the server code, I think the OP is trolling BTW(based on the lame reason for getting "caught"), their best bet would be to get it running locally. After that they should make sure it works by letting trusted people join with them.

Beyond that, you'd need to do your homework in terms of where to host it publicly. If that couldn't be done they either keep it secret, like the CoH guys did, or leak the code in a manner that wouldn't trace back to them. Then let others try to host it somewhere it couldn't easily be taken down.
