Basically there was once a team that made an aion core in java, and now people use there work and add onto it. then people tell them to add credit to it. even though most of the credit is to the original developers.
We could code our own from scratch, but people find it easier to rip from other peoples work cause there lazy/leechers.
that's my viewpoint on the subject anyways
Exactly what I said.
This Core was made from Aion Unique. They stop to develop the Core and was taken from two Core Groups, which goes separate ways; Aion Lightning and ZettaCore.
ZettaCore goes imediately Closed Source, Aion Lightning stay a while Open Source. But after a big leack of ZettaCore, Aion Lightnig goes olso Closed Source, after Aio Core 2.1
Do the facts that in AL some developers were inactive, a part of active developers, goes with Magenic, and made Aion-Engine, which was based on ZettaCore. Magenik made for the first time the Windstream and later with 2.5 the Ingame Shop

The first Aion 2.5 stable Emulator was made by Aion Extreme with some help from Open Aion.
That was a source code which was later used from other like U3J, AionFree and many others.
Later after releasing the Battle Grounds as Open Source, Aion Extreme goes Closed Source too.
The ZettaCore was death.
The only one Core Group which still exists was Aion Lightning but that was still Closed Source.
Every next emulator released was made only from this Core Group.
Every next realeases which apear in public was leaks. The first developer group who use the Aion 2.7 and 3.0 leack emulator was Aion Extreme which made from a compiled gameserver, login and chatserver, a very stable source.
But even Aion Extreme was stolen, and Aion 3.0 apear in public as a leack.
Aion Lightning 2.7 was a leack from AL source code
Aion Lightning 3.0 was a leack from AL just compiled, because Aion Extreme made a source code from 2.7 and 3.0
Aion Lightning 3.5 was a leack from AL source code
Aion Lightning 3.9 was a leack from AL source code - used and developed from NextGen for public
Aion Lightning 4.0 was a leack from AL source code - used and developen from AL-Reloaded

Util.printSection("GameServerLog");
log.info("Aion Lightning Game Server started in " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) / 1000 + " seconds.");
log.info("==================================================");
log.info("===========> Aion Lightning Core, developed by AL-Reload Group <==============");
log.info("Thanks to all who helped this project!");
log.info("Core Version: 4.5.0.0");
log.info("Copyright 2010-2014");
log.info("==================================================");
After this, Aion Lightnig Group was disolved.
Magenik comes after two years back to Aion emulator and take the Aion Lightning 4.0 source code and made ist to 4.3 and 4.5
After that, he goes Closed Source again and after short time he gives up.
As you can see, only Aion Unique, ZettaCore and Aion Lightning was Core Developer Group.
ZettaCore was death with the last release of Aion Extreme 2.5
The last Aion Lightning release is from Magenik who was the last Core Developer.
then maybe you write you post in wrong thread
