[edit] Otserv
This was speedied last time I spotted it, but it has been re-added. It is now more comprehensive, but it remains un-encyclopædic and it seems to be an advert. So, delete

- This refer to Tibia open server that violates copyrights of CipSoft Gmbh over the original game Tibia since it uses the game original source code, and have not been authorized. Delete Baruk 20:29, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- That's not true, OTServ does not contain any code written by CipSoft. Everything was written from scratch and no Cip copyright is harmed. But the article itself is not very good. Tliff 22:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Actually what was written from scratch are the maps but the main source code is the very same used on Tibia (it even uses an old client version of the game), so yes, it violates copyrighted material. and the article is not very good :p. So delete 200.20.118.197 23:34, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- No it does not, I wrote a lot of the code and i have never ever seen a single line of the original Cip cide Tliff 00:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- So that would explain why you would never admit that it does violate copyrighted material ... and i dont think the creators of the game (known as the Tibian Gods - Guido, Steve, Durin) and the Senior Game masters would say that it do violate Cipsoft copyright if it didnt. Even that it didnt use (what it does) the game main source code, it uses a modified Tibia client to give players acess to the game. delete 200.20.118.197 28 June 2005 18:43 (UTC)
- Which shows that you did not understand the topic at all. There is no such thing as an OTServ client. OTServ has no client, and never had. The only thing OTServ does is to provide a server implemenation. (In fact it was stated on the Tutor board by a Senio Gamemaster, that OTServ itself is in fact legal) Tliff 3 July 2005 15:53 (UTC)
