TL;DR: He was an idiot for leaving all his money in a company known for withholding money.

I'm aware of that post but he didn't post the entire situation.

P.S

All I'm trying to say is that you're not going to be 100% safe when you receive money for an IP that doesn't belong to you, there are ways to increase your chances to not get in trouble but you will never be 100% safe.

Blizzard has invested a lot of their money into this IP they have all the right to go after who ever they want you don't even own your wow account they do all you do is rent game time any who don't worry about it unless you become a threat to blizzard or someone rats you out to paypal or w.e you will be fine.

No one sued him I'm not going off of what he posted I'm going off of what him and I have talked about.

It was a lot worse then a sue lets just leave it at that.

A good step forward is to host your server in a place like Russia or the UK if you host it in the USA your chances of getting busted just increase.

Well that's bad advise. The UK is probably one of the worst places you an host it.

Honestly OP, it really doesn't matter. Blizzard are not going to give one shit about your small little server. It costs them a lot of money to take somebody to court. You won't be a target unless you start making significant money, in which case why are you doing this in emulation.

PayPal are just a shit company in general. If you make any significant money on that, even through charitable work, they can seize it and fuck you over for a long time, and it is a long process to get it back.

Use a more credibly provider and you won't have issues in that regard.
