private servers for Lineage 2 legal?

[listy]

1) Who are you and why would you create an account here and ask instead of on the lineage boards?
2) Lineage sucks anyways.
3) I doubt very much it's legal and I don't know how somebody would even be able to set up and run a server for a mmorpg. Most information in mmorpg's are stored on the servers and the cost of running them outside of the main company would be huge. It wouldn't make sense for anybody to create and allow free access to them even if they knew how to do so.

Who am I? Well I registered and started posting about 1 year earlier than you. I was on the hkdvd scene when arcticnightfall was still in its ezboard stages and does it hurt that much to ask a question?

I've also traded with junkiejoe in the past so I'm not some queer that you make me out to be.
