The private WoW server we used to run WAS illegal, and our head GM ran it out of Vietnam because of that. When we decided to switch we decided we didn't want to do anything like that anymore and we wanted to find something legal and fun that we could find a good, cheap host for in a developed country. If you go to L2J's source website you will see all the relevant documents as well as a detailed chronology of their legal status and NCSoft's stance on L2J server software.

In short, the nature of their client distribution precludes copyright violations client-side for modding the files or using them other places than the official server. The heavy and layered patents reside with NCSoft's extensive server-side software. Because L2J is a completely-different coding on the server side software, it achieves the same in-game visual and gameplay effects, but through completely dissimilar java code.

So, we have a 1gbps connection and our server can handle thousands of players, come and join us, and see why Lineage 2 is really the best MMORPG out there.
