Sorry for the small bump but if i remember corectly writing an emulator is totally legal.
None of Nexon code is in for instance Odin. What is illegal is the player to use all .wz files to log in into that emulator, but if you could also emulated .wz client files with your own artwork etc... it'd be just fine.
From a strict legal point of vue, nexon is bound to lose the trial just like runescape. There is no single example so far of a private server beeing legaly suit and lost, on the other hand there's a lot of example of pservers beeing shut down by intimidation because the company knows those kids can't afford a trial.
