Ok, probably seems like/is a stupid question but I'm genuinely curious about this.
I've been making private servers for a very long time now, but it was always just for fun. Just did things like random WZ editing, learning how to code, and tried to basically educate myself so that I didn't need to be a leecher to progress. I never had intentions of hosting a private server because like I said it was just for fun, but now that I have gotten the hang of things I have been considering about hosting my own server. The problem is I keep hearing those scare stories about Nexon suing server owners, and I will admit I don't know if these stories are true and that I have no solid information on the matter.
So that's why I am making this thread. To find out the actual dangers of hosting a private server. For example my main question is pretty much this: Will Nexon always give a letter asking the server to shutdown first? I was under the impression that they always did that first, and if the server didn't comply they could be taken to court and basically the owner would be in a lot of tough poop. So is that always the case or can they actually just up and front sue you? :S
