TEC Interactive has never given any consent to anyone for starting a private server.
If you look at most of the private server webpage, some of those claimed to be licensed by Ymir, GameForge or TEC Interactive. Those are just marketing method to secure players in their private servers, giving a false hope to ignorant people to believe that the said private server is genuinely legal.
Having said this, let this be my last posting in this forum which I have forbidden any of my staff to ever post here.
