It sounds like this isn't an emulator but rather the actual retail server software. This group has been sitting on it for 6-7 years while dishonestly encouraging emulator development publicly.
This whole thing reads like a crazy conspiracy theory that actually turned out to be true. The insidious part is that is has apparently been kept under wraps by banning leakers (and everyone associated with them) followed by gas lighting them since a lot of the top people in the community were in on it. Totally nuts.
- nullsmack 8y agoOn one hand, I can totally understand bad feelings about this. Especially with how people have been treated and the fact that people want to play the game as it was and not in a shallow imitation of itself. On the other hand, I can understand why it was kept secret. If they are not served with a C&D that means they can keep reverse engineering the code behind it, and figuring out how to pull out the resources or make their own. I hope that's what they were doing anyways, rather than just sitting on it. What an amazing opportunity to pick at a game via a private server! One would hope it would be tons easier to build an open source private server while having a working copy rather than just guessing at what kind of responses the server should send.
