I understand you seeking safety -- legally -- but consider looking into copyright a little more. "Theme" is not legally protected, however, art and sound is. If you are looking to recreate RuneScape, as you describe, you would still be on the hook. You're using their art. If you created a game very similar to RuneScape, but changed the art (assets, concepts, etc). then you'd be fine. But if you have a rune platebody, looks like Jagex' rune platebody, etc. you're probably still up for legality issues. I am not 100% on this, I am not a lawyer, I'm just producing what I've came across in my time.Quote:

My next point; you are going to put that much time, effort, and workload into re-creating something that already exists -- this sounds extremely wasteful of your skills. You're better off creating your own idea/product and running with it. Maybe the same 'theme' but not the game in its entirety.
Regardless, good luck. It is definitely a huge undertaking.

Sounds like a giant waste of time.
Ambitious projects like this never get finished, no one is going to use/buy it, 317 needs to die already.
Thank you for your motivational words.Quote:

While blunt it's for good reason, all the veterans here see these (among other) types of projects come and go every few years.Quote:

If you're going to recreate the whole game and assets then it's going to be a different game; so you might as well remove the restraints and go into indie development. You'll get to create something that you own and can sell, and it'll take less time and effort.
If you're actually serious about continuing this then you must consider the actual tangible benefits of recreating a client from scratch, a process that will take in the ballpark of a thousand hours, and ask is being able to "add an MIT license" worth the $7k pricetag? (min wage @ 1k hours)
