no, but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night and also not retarded. all it takes is a C&D letter not like they are going to pay for lawyers to defend a emu project on the grounds of a non legally binding handshake agreement made by people that don't own the property anymore

the ip was first purchased by a Russian holding company and now a Swedish one, the entire business model of these companies that acquire zombie mmos is just squeeze what little value is left in the IP without doing any investment into it

don't get mad cause literally everything in this statement is false

"What did I steal? I purchased the game for playing on the live servers. The company managing the IP has given permission for p99 to operate. Using the game I purchased to play on servers sanctioned by the IP holder is stealing?"

its illegal if they decide to care, just everything else discussed in the last 4 pages. from the TOS in the clients being different and not saying shit about it to who owns the IP and who's permission actually matters.

Inaction over a period of years speaks volumes, and it's not like p99 is some big secret server, it's well known. If the new holding company wants to change or cancel the previous agreement, there is nothing stopping them from doing so. The company actively managing the game hasn't altered the status quo, so why should I as a user, feel anything about it when the most recent information is that it's sanctioned?

This whole thread is nonsense. When they publicly change their stance, then we can have this conversation.
