Hi guys,
I'm student at computer engineering in somewhere in this world.
I was wondering how people make/create Private MMORPG server whithout having the Server-side source code.

If we reverse engineering the client which is not easy, i can see packets flowing between server and client. I don't understand how people(genious) create Private MMORPG server only using this kind of information.

So, anyone can share the knowledge with me?

Thanks.

It's quite challenging programming task. Reversing network protocol is just a small part of entire project.

Take a look at LineAge emulator (L2J) or one of many Aion emulators to get a better idea how hard that is..

Hi Kao thanks for ur reply.

My main question was it is posibble to do that without Server side code???

Yes, it is possible to do. The certain implementation may differ, but the public interface logic stay the same as original server.
