    [ascent]Hosting with my existing SQL and Apache services

    I was thinking of putting up a small WoW server just to mees around.

    The PC i want to do it on tho already hosts 2 websites and 2 forums, using MySQL and Apache under the EasyPHP package.

    How would i go about intergrating the ascent server (Panex Public 4.0 package) into the existing Apache services?

    EDIT: Whats the legal status of these servers?
    To me, given that these are emulators, they are legal?
    Its legal to run software you own on emulators when it comes to Console games.
    Is it legal to run a copy of WoW you own on an Emulated server?
    I know Blizzard likes to MAKE OUT its ILLEGAL.

    On that subject, how about this site, you have Server files some not even emulators of several P2P MMOS. Is this not illegal?

    TOS for software use mean pretty much nothing.

    It's not a law on the books. It's the fact that you agree to their ToU and EULA that allows them to dictate whatever they want. If they put it somewhere in the EULA or ToU that you have to stand on your head while playing the game, and you click the Agree button, you are legally obligated to stand on your head while playing WoW, and they could bring legal action against you if you don't. The designed the software, and any time they change the ToU or EULA, you have to agree to it again before you can continue using the application. That's the beauty of designing your own software. They sell you a license to use the data, not the data itself.

    basically it's illegal that we're not following their terms, and it's illegal that we're using their copywritten content(like images, maps, etc...)
