I'm actually happy for Quarm shutting down because it was going to be hugely detrimental to Secrets's health, happiness, and likely freedom in the long run.

Quarm is back up already.

How can you even sue any EQ emulator if the owner of the emulator simply keeps their irl identity secret.

If you set up a store that was called "Target" and made it look/work exactly like the real Target, they could still shut that store down, even if you left the country and disappeared beforehand.

It wouldn't make sense that the fake "Target" store could continue to operate just because the owner couldn't be found.

I remember seeing a bunch of WoW private emulated servers operating with impunity because they were based out of some remote offshore islands or something

Yeah but there's no way to punish the person who set up the store, if nobody knows who that is.

Makes sense. Without any individual person to target, they have to be able to target the server itself to shut an emulator down.

The main purpose of the lawsuit(s) is to shut down the fake "Target" so it doesn't cause further damage to the real "Target". That will happen even if the person(s) to punish are not found or are dead.

Youre a genius. Just put a fake name in and they can never find you!

They collect money through Ko-Fi, which payment processing is done by companies that need to verify there identity. All of which operate out of the US and are subject to US laws. They will not destroy their companies to protect the identity of the THJ devs.
