regardless of what the ToS says... there is nothing 'illegal' about breaking a ToS, but if you cause them financial harm in your breaking the ToS, you can be held civilly liable (read: sued).

Regardless of what ToS say, reverse engineering something is neither illegal or infringing on any intellectual property rights. You just happen to write some code that does the exact same thing as their code.

Also, don't forget the way the server is structured... there is actually at least 3/4 servers: probably a login server (so logging in is separate from the island you eventually connect to), the actual game server, the communication/guild server and the myshop server. The trick becomes reverse engineering the way information is passed over the network and creating a program to act as the 'server' and sending the appropriate messages at the appropriate times to each user while maintaining the state of the world.

At least this is the way I see/understand it.

But, I'd totally be willing to help with something like this.

Blizzard won a lawsuit of somebody reversing their games.
pretty much set a precedent that it's illegal for reversing.

but again, if it's open source, then it's legal
*cough*educational purposes*cough*

there's login server, channel/character, and game server


and

Encrypted packets suck.

Or have it be nice:

9/9/9/9 characters
Can learn any skill
Cap 9001/9000
Spicy is just about impossible due to Shield of GODMODE. 100m HP and it recasts every 10 seconds. Spicy only has 1 HP

Private servers would seem like a bad idea. The game already lags with the servers Ntreev have, imagine private servers ._.
