We've established "Ownership" via the Open Source accepted methods.
You are right, and i thank you to have established "ownership" rules, but you seems to miss something important, we not talking about the same things, read previous post to well understand.

It is well understood in the community that project owners have a duty to pass projects to competent successors when they are no longer willing or able to invest needed time in development or maintenance work.

The project was handed over to us by Elvenprogrammer, the founder, and their next closest heir, Bjorn. Both had moved on to other projects and had lost interest in maintaining TMW. Platyna "Hosted the project". Anything dealing with TMW belonged to the project. When Platyna says "It's mine." It just goes to show how selfish and controlling she was.
If the previous owner was Elvenprogrammer.
If Platyna was not a owner as leader of the ghp(idk if its the good name).
If you can bypass the ghp leader authority to take the project, and the data.
So in this case you are not the owner too.
And the TMCW have no authority over this project too.
The only case that you can bypass the lead authority is when you see that the leader want to sink the project by taking incompetent decision.
Was it the case?
Seems no.

Read the previous posts to well understand what she is asking.
Seems you talk about something else.
Its your chance now to match with the topic.
Later will be too late.

If you want to do this, it is your responsibility to make the effort to find the owner. If you don't succeed, then you may announce in a relevant place (such as a Usenet newsgroup dedicated to the application area) that the project appears to be orphaned, and that you are considering taking responsibility for it.
Seems when you moved the server data, the project was alive.
And the leader, Platyna, led the project properly.
Nothing was in your hand to say that the project was orphaned.
But perhaps im wrong?
But it seems you wanted to make a fork.
And the name fork is allowed in your case.
So, the term "orginal" doesnt suit for your fork.
And as a fork you have to call people to come to see your project.
But you dont do this, you take the data of another server and used it for your own.
So, of course you are the owner of your fork, but not about the data you taken by ruse on the Platinum server.
Read my post about having the data for my own server.
You dont even take the time to answer me.
You erase my thread, and move my post in a place that you call garbage.
A place that wushin said, whoever post in the garbage place is a steampile.
Did i dreamed?

Since the move, TMW .org has moved the ball forward. New content, quest logs, numerous critical bug fixes that crash a server, establishing TMW as a non-profit, making a board, grand socialism in general, etc. We have plenty of players online and have continue to create new devs, gms, and admins, etc.
Yes, its seems you did.
And as a player i can say now you stopped to fill the project purpose.
The mana world opensource project was done as game. Nothing else. Am I wrong?
No new contents from a long long time.
Only things who was added was to make easier the development, not to add new content in game.
What is a quest logs?
Does it help me to play?
Establishing TMW as non-profit?
What is the meaning of opensource?
Profit?
If you talked about affiliate to a non profit company, you should know what the meaning of incorporate.
Lets talk about the client.
No client, no possibility to play this game.
You droped an opensource client to officially take a copyrighted one.
Can we still speak about opensource project here?
You changed the project purpose, by saying that tmcw took to develop the game engine instead the game content.
You wanted to develop the game engine to add more game content?
Well, where do you talk about this topic?
Numerous critical bug fixes : seems more you fixes things more the game become unplayable. Chronic bug who came over and over.
The last i notice at this moment is the bug to not use the Lime towel.
You can use this towel to bypass the speed quest skill.
It was active and work properly.
But now you cant dye a lime towel.
So, do you want to tell me that the script erase is own line itself?
There is plenty example like this.
We can talk like this for a long time.
I dont have time for this, i have a char to level up
Platyna you still have to read two post of mine and to answer me.
