The only MMO I can think of that this hasn't happened with is Phantasy Star Online ver. 1 / 2 / Blue Burst because their MMO for all 3 of these versions was shut-down completely, and Phantasy Star Universe is the new MMO. So people wants to re-play the older ones, and apparently, Sega isn't going to do much about it, because quite frankly, they don't care.
Then again, unlike most private-servers from other games that I've witnessed, on the one that I play on PSO, the drop-rates were the same as the official-game, and the EXP needed to level seems slightly higher, or the monsters gives 'less' EXP. Exact opposite of MS p-servers, eh?
SEGA showed their hand on that one when they stopped updating the Xbox server in December of 2005, despite it taking another year or so before PSU would come out. Repeated calls to both SEGA and Microsoft resulted in lots of finger-pointing. Technically what Schthack is doing is illegal, in the same sense as this new rash of MS private server actions, which is why major fan sites for PSO (like, PSO-World for example) will still censor and/or ban you for even mentioning the name.
