Last I heard PvPGN is legit. Loader's that modify the game aren't.... but earning off pvpgn should be illegal.

Our famous aqua colored server down south is running off PvPGN.

It has been around since Starcraft (Called FSGS IINM) and it was NEVER legit. It basically allows someone to host a B.Net style server on a PC, hence the reason its illegal.

thru google they say its legal? :/

Erm, only one guy contested that it was legal and even he didn't say nothing. BTW, this is for WoW, so not technically relevant.

Blizzard has ALWAYS clamped down on all server emulators for all their games. They've NEVER allowed it.

If i understand it correctly, creating and hosting the emulator is not illegal. Connecting and playing it with the game is.

some said that if you are running it for money, then it is illegal.

any ideas what we can do at the moment? these powerful agents make life very difficult for us.

why difficult ? im still playing for free here in my home.

exactly.. why care when it dusnt harm us? no offence lol

not exactly.. why don't care when it harms a certain group of people? no offence lol

Anyway
You need to write an official letter to them via conventional mail to:
Blizzard Entertainment
P.O. Box 18979
Irvine, CA 92623

All supporting documents about them profiting from private server are here below
SMM flying spaghetti monster User Agreement
SMM SMMDota User Agreement

You probably need to print them out & attach it together with your letter
PM me if you need help for contents although my essay writing skill sucks

Here below is the original EUA for SMM, it might be useful so I uploaded it just incase.

hopefully ur effort pays lol

I one man not enough, thats why I need anyone/everyone that can help.

Anyone wanna write out a format so that we can all follow?

in the smm agreement pdf, at the end, how come they charge according to number of pcs? So this means the cc owners pay smm to connect to bs?

^
dirty money and yes

dude can you pm me all the details? i talk to blizzard singapore and see if they can do anything with it..... support original please

I heard from some eclub (i think) people they have no right to charge us per pc... and definitely not bs...

how can they charge you something which is illegal?

Yeah, we all know what's right, what's wrong.... what can we do about it... so frustrating living in Malaysia..

All the details are in here

If the links are down, I will upload it again.

AFAIK, SMM's Blizzard license were bought from Asiasoft.
