[2007-11-02 01:09:16] <Moose> Well, no. Since there are currently no emulated servers for AO :)
[2007-11-02 01:09:49] <Moose> There has never been a multiplayer version of the server created and released. It's been a singleplayer sandbox run around and don't do anything except have crazy stats server.
[2007-11-02 01:10:06] <xystic> Is your friend's father a lawyer familiar with e-commerce law? Because copyright infringment issues are handled differently.
[2007-11-02 01:10:24] <Moose> He does corporate law, like with businesses and legal stuff :P
[2007-11-02 01:10:36] <Moose> So I figured he would know such things.
[2007-11-02 01:10:44] <Moose> He says he does, so you know I'm willing to take his word on it.
[2007-11-02 01:11:05] <Moose> I've also been threatened with a lawsuit by this company, the one who runs AO, for violating several NDAs :P
[2007-11-02 01:11:14] <Moose> Since I told you I worked for them, that's a violation of the NDA.
[2007-11-02 01:11:20] <Moose> Stupid, eh?
[2007-11-02 01:12:08] <AnarkiNet> yea
[2007-11-02 01:12:12] <Moose> I'm apparently not even allowed to tell you about the game, in any way or that I've ever been associated with it. Not sure that's legal in an agreement of sorts, but like I care. They aren't going to do anything, and I'm willing to put my life savings on that :P
[2007-11-02 01:12:35] <xystic> What is the game?
[2007-11-02 01:12:58] <Moose> Anarchy-Online, a game brought to you by the loving corporation we like to call "Funcom". ( www.anarchy-online.com and www.funcom.com )
[2007-11-02 01:13:03] <xystic> And what is your association with the company?
[2007-11-02 01:13:13] <Moose> IA and customer service.
[2007-11-02 01:13:32] <Moose> No longer associated of course.
[2007-11-02 01:13:38] <Moose> I quit a long long time ago.
[2007-11-02 01:13:38] <xystic> Oh, Funcom... I have a colleague that works (or has worked) with them (James Robertson).
[2007-11-02 01:13:55] <Moose> Heh.
[2007-11-02 01:14:03] <xystic> Does the name sound familiar?
[2007-11-02 01:14:18] <Moose> Uh, yeah.
[2007-11-02 01:15:16] <xystic> When we last spoke, he was doing development on tools; his pet project was something called "Eddie", a plugin-based editor for game designers.
[2007-11-02 01:16:32] <Moose> Well if you ever want to talk to em, jamesr@funcom.com :P
[2007-11-02 01:17:05] <xystic> Already am. :) "Def is ~Def@handy-coder1.funcom.com * Def"
[2007-11-02 01:17:46] <xystic> What will he know/remember you as?
[2007-11-02 01:18:20] <Moose> Probably won't remember me, but may know me as "the crazy ass who hated the operations department with a passion"
[2007-11-02 01:18:48] <Moose> I'm probably the only person, who hated the ops dept. THAT much.
[2007-11-02 01:19:20] <Moose> I never really knew them, heard the name obviously :P
