Barunson Games, the developers of one of the world's most successful MMORPGs, Last Chaos, warns against using pirated software on unlicensed servers. The developers advise that a long-term game experience can only be ensured on official servers. International licensing partners are selected very carefully. Operators of pirate servers could take down their operations from one day to the next without warning – in which case all the time, money and effort that players put into the game would be lost.

Illegal versions threaten the continued development of the game software by causing significant financial losses for Barunson Games and its partners. This threatens jobs and results in new content and features being delayed and in a more limited scope than what honest players would hope for. The developers are already being forced to use a large portion of the resources available to them in order to protect Last Chaos from illegal services.
