It would not be an exact replica of what you were going for, but it would allow you to continue work on the project, and finish it after this lawsuit resolves.


Not enough. You cant use their Data. For alot of thinks you need to mod the client. You are not allowed to do that.
Thats why u have to code everything from scratch. Create new models, new textures, new gui.
You need to create a whole new MMORPG from scratch. Because alle the data, the client, the names, the story everything is under the trademark of blizzard.

Brilliant way to save it is by doing a brilliant action.
What the original poster explained is super difficult and most of the time doesn't work because blizz is pretty smart. Easiest solution I see is pairing with another server that already has their legs up and moving. There are some like FS that wont respond to any question you ask on their forums, and others like Valhalla that throw charity events and respond pretty quickly.

Up to everyone, but no more nostalrius either way. :(

This means that if you simply change the name on the Launcher to something like: "Land of Fightcraft" and rename NPC's slightly so that they resemble what they once were, but different enough to justify that you are mocking it, then you can use it.


That's not parody. That's a Chinese knockoff.
