Yeah but if someone did a lot of work to properly retro port something no one else was able to, I think it's fine that he can sell it

Idk I just see it as worse than hosting a server in general.
A private server *maybe* steals customers/assets from blizz
Selling retroports is *literally* reselling content that Blizz already made
I feel there is a line that must be drawn for our own sake in this whole “legality” argument in the first place.

can't judge how much work is involved converting a model from SL to woltk I haven't tried yet.

Selling retroports is straight up piracy ^^

depends on your level of retroport. getting 1 mesh vs writing programs to bulk convert models of differing types, time to test, dbc/sql additions, there's a lot to go into a mass pack

you're not really selling a model at that point, you're selling the work put into it

and the knowledge to do it

Yes, it takes time, effort, and knowledge to do but it’s no different than stealing *any* 3D model that someone *explicitly* sells or packing into *their* content
Even with scripts and such, it’s entirely original work, I don’t think anyone can claim that retroports *belong* to anyone but blizzard. All we’re doing is making it “work”
