>Then it was hit by a Cease and Desist order by NCsoft in November 2011. The website was seized, the forums went dark, and progress completely stopped. One thing was made abundantly clear to everybody: NCsoft was not going to tolerate the development of servers for their games, even four years after they were shut down. Why do companies do this? If they're clearly not making any more money off of it... I understand not wanting to release source (the IP could technically still be worth something), but why go after fan efforts to resurrect a service they're making $0 on? What's the business reasoning to spend lawyer money on stomping out unofficial servers?
