But for something like Everquest, it would have been so much better to start from scratch with building a game that is similar and in the same genre . What I don’t understand is why you bothered doing this in the first place.
It super nintendo entertainment system roms was quite predictable that Verant wouldn’t like this and might take you to court. And you are cloning a server for a proprietary game with proprietary clients, helping increase the popularity of the very company that’s now causing you legal problems. In my opinion, Verant/Sony has done far to little to deserve this much money — I recently sold my EQ to a friend.
A Background In Real-World Methods Of ROM Games
Anyone coming to Ask Slashdot for advice on a legal matter in place of a lawyer get’s what they deserve. Console makers take a loss on the console sale and make it up licensing the patent rights to produce software for the console.

Connectix was not successfully stopped from creating a Playstation emulator (not exactly a "server emulator", but I’m sure it involved a bit of reverse engineering of both hardware and software). There are many other examples of protocols that have been reverse engineered in whole or in part.

When companies get scared they seem to instinctively send out cease and desist notices. And, by the way, EverQuest can simply open a tiny office in Austria and you’d have to kiss your server goodbye – the newly opened office can legally sue you over copyright infrigerment. Copyright law may govern what you can do with it, but there’s no way the book publisher has entered into a contract with you, no matter what they may want to claim. Open source software really does need to be able to clone things like the MS Office file format and UI.
