Cuz NCsoft are gay, L2 Extreme uses a EMULATOR which does NOT contain ANY code from the ncsoft server software.

All depends on exactly what that EMULATOR does. I'd imagine NOT a lawful thing and that's why it's closed down. Give em the chair! Laughing

They can't take down the server if they don't charge money for their server(donations is not p2p), also when the L2 official software was leaked NCsoft didn't do a thing, the EULA stated anyone using their software can be arresed, thats why the emu guys just used the official soft to capture the needed packets and write their own server software Laughing

leaving NCsoft with nothing to catch on to Laughing

This is going to end like ThePirateBay.org, raid the servers and now the swedish government is paying tpb.org for the damages Laughing

l2 extreme does NOT use the emulator aka l2j. they use official c1(modified for C4 etc and so on) server files that were stolen/leaked before.

l2extreme even claims they dont use l2j, that they use official server files on their forums

they don't charge money for it but they are making a lot of money off of donation's its basically the same thing.

plus all the people that are playing on l2extreme might have been playing on real server if there was no l2x etc. that's the argument ncsoft is gonna use.

lol awww i feel sorry for the donators who just donated for their items LOL
