Hello epic community,
I recently started to seriosly think of creating an indie MMO, but just creating it from scratch is not a simple task of course, so before that I thought to try to create an mmo prototype from an existing game.
I remembered that I played Lineage2 a lot when I was a kid, googled a bit, and found L2jServer, a publicly available server for this game written in Java, and I thought of creating the client for it using UE. Of course with bit of reverse engeneering and extracting the content from the game;
My question is however, if I will eventually come to some good looking prototype and upload it on youtube (with this extracted game contents assets, etc) Can I get a copyright strike just for this? I will not have any intent to gain any revenue from that, so just positioning this as a research project from the start will rescue me from copyright strike?
Thanks.)
