2. WoW is more popular therefore people who are more skilled in this are able to make private servers.

Although, most people do say that FFXI is impossible to make a private server for.

Not bad for a 5 year old game.
A private server has been made for FFXI, and its in use somewhat. However, it's pretty featureless at this point and it's mostly a sandbox.

So I've heard, however I also thought it was supposed to be impossible to make the server online, due to POL. (Playonline, FFXI's Launcher thing).

I'm not sure on the whole thing.

So far as I've read, the only project which I was able to find uses POL and requires an FFXI subscription. This project is also completely legal. o.O

According to the forums there, there's another project with also uses POL.

I noticed that, too.

There are MILLIONS of WoW servers, yet most of them are trash.

But where are the CoH, DDO, & Pre-CU SWG (since it's so good) private servers?!
