Um, yeah. Where can i get a private server or learn to make my own server for this game? Anyone know?

there are none supported on this site and never will be, too much legal red tape. click here if you want your money back.

Now where does it say we support private servers? im guessing your looking at the thing on tault.com so this link. If you read it carefully nowhere in it does it say we support or have private servers for people to use or create their own. this is what it says

while you may not be changing any information on thier servers. . .you are using thier code that they own to replicate the game and environment that they own the rights to. So I would say that yes, it is definately not legal.

Read the DMCA laws then get back to me, quite illegal.

Read the case on !@#$%^&* and blizzard. Also eq1 versus another private community. They are able to win because it is considered reverse engineering of source code.

Yes please do read the DMCA Laws and you will find that it clearly states that the DMCA laws do not apply to Reverse Engineering as it is pointed out as being an exception , exempted from DMCA law. Private Server have been running for lots of games and I have yet to hear where a company (no matter how big) has won in a lawsuit against Private Communities anywhere in the world.

In short & sweet Private Servers are by no means illegal as long as the programmer reverse engineered it and did not just rip the code and use it.

In the land of taultunleashed i am god haha. Just playing.

All private servers people sell items for cash. The problem is companies just arent going after them enough. It will happen eventually. Also keep in mind if blizzard or sony had a good reasoning to legally go after us with lawyers they would, and the legal costs to take it to court easily break 100k its not fun.

Admin, notice the section that says "successfully closed down a computer game operation alleged to be reaping profits by providing a fraudulent service to its players" refers to PAYING for services. There is noting illegal about PURCHASING the game client and running it against your own database (which is all a private server is for the most part). What would be illegal is charging people to play on it if you are using content they created.

There have been plenty of attempts to close down private server projects and I have yet to see any succeed. Do not include those charging money with those that do it for fun. There is a huge difference legally.

its not illegal as long as money doesnt change hands.

Yea most of them make money but being free but if you donate you get perks in the game. Thats the legal loophole they are going by. Its just a matter of time till that is taken care of.
