  • My main issue with Antiquary is how thematicaly inconsistent it is.

    Icon is a deck of cards. Some trait names refer to a deck of cards. Yet otherwise it has nothing to do with cards thematically.

    It is supposed to be Indiana Jones, finding antient relics. And then it finds an… electric guitar? A… hologram? A chak organ?!

    And then, suddenly skrittmancer.

    I feel like it should’ve been a Gambler but then marketing or legal stopped it. The team was likely too far in developement to change the spec so just scrambled to change the theme of it somehow.













  • So, if even Nintendo doesn’t do anything against it, then it means its legal. xD

    Hah, can’t argue with that.

    I don’t really see into the legal stuff, but I think it is a grey area if you do it independently, without a license from the IP holders. You are technically using their IP and stuff I think. It is especially questionable if you take money for running the service - even if it is donations for just running it and there would be no profit - companies could see it as potentiel profiteering off of their product.

    There are examples of such servers running with the publishers blessing - there is a private server for City of Heroes (called Homecoming I think?) which got official license from NCSoft to run it. This is only private server that I know off that is 100% legal.
