Is this legal? Will EA/Mythic eventually shut you down?

Why are there no RR5 abilities?

Is ToA a thing here? What about Catacombs? Mounts?

I checked the wiki for all of these questions, maybe I missed the answers.

1. They are based overseas. They "could" pursue legal action if the devs were making any kind of monetary gain, which they do not. But being overseas it would be very long and drawn out. Ie: not worth it. At least that's my limited knowledge and view on it.

2. Dev choice.

3. None of them. Its classic 1.65 with SI, and alot of QoL and custom changes. You however can be a shar, half ogre, and frostalf. They also recently added Darkspire.

1. Thanks, that explains everything.

2. Clearly. I was curious if they have explained it somewhere, or if they will ever explain it.

3. Cool beans.

Thanks for the answers.

The answer to question 2 is that SI was the "golden age" of Dark Age. The period when they had the most active subscribers and which people have the fondest memories of.
In ToA, Mythic introduced some serious grinding requirements (leveling Artifacts, Master Levels, farming scrolls etc) that gave huge advantages in RvR to the people who were able to muster groups to farm these. Lots of people quit during this time, though not ONLY because of ToA, WoW had a big part to play in his decline, but the stigma lives on to this day.
Also, given the limited time and energy the staff can dedicate to this server (they are all unpaid and they do this out of the goodness of their hearts and wallets) it is much easier for them to support and balance around SI.

RR5 abilities were around before ToA and New Frontiers. Most of them were shit, but they existed.
