As I write this, we've just had another guy/gal spamming these forums with Metin2 questions and getting banned for it. I found out from Wikipedia that Metin2 is apparently some kind of MMORPG. And judging from the "Thread of Shame", it appears that the client is free but running a server requires a license.
Can somebody explain a) what's the big deal about Metin2 anyway (there are plenty of other MMORPGs after all) and b) why so many people are hell-bent on running their own servers? I honestly don't "get" what all the hubbub is about. What's so special about this game? These people could be playing World of Warcraft (or whatever) on a Windows computer they are comfortable with. Why is it so important to run a Metin2 server on a platform they don't (or hardly) understand?
