Cute story. But yeah, it's all about running copyrighted server code. Hard to defend that one. What does it mean for us? Enjoy it while you can, I guess.

Here's the story from Eurogamer. Key quote:
Agents from the FBI have raided and shut down the L2Extreme website and servers, which operated an unauthorised server for NCsoft's Lineage II massively multiplayer game, and claimed to have half a million registered users.
Working with NCsoft, the FBI carried out raids in multiple cities across the United States - presumably after a few false starts when their main tank had bad lag or their healers had a strop over loot allocation - and while its estimate of L2Extreme's popularity is rather lower, at 50,000 active users, it does agree that the operation was costing NCsoft millions of dollars a year. The owners of the site are being questioned and the website itself has been replaced with an FBI holding page which is impressively nasty both in terms of web design and content.

Dunno... was it shut down over a legal battle? I had read that NCSoft had left the leaked code in the public domain...

Hey Beck and Geekfesters, did you hear they shut down a Lineage 2 private server (l2extreme.com)? Is that going to happen to all the lineage servers? What is the law in regards to private lineage servers?

I have to warn you the language is pretty rough so don't watch it too loud if your parents are around.
