Custom client allowed?

Hey guys!

Really excited to start playing on Nostalruis.

I would like to know the view on using modified game files to simply change URL's in the game from the official WoW sites to nostalrius.

A good example would be the login screen.
A working breaking news from Nostalrius.
"Manage Account" opens a URL - Say? http://en.nostalrius.org/account
"Community Site" open the URL - http://forum.nostalrius.org/

Example here:

Would it be ok to use? I would be happy to upload an installer if nostalrius staff approve.

This looks like a great idea! Surely this would help promote a professional project?

Because European Copyright Laws forbid handing out modified clients. Doing so might get your ass sued by Blizzard. While it's okay doing it for yourself, everything else is highly illegal territory.

A spanish server called Mewet did this too, and it's been up for over 5 years...

And still up

PD: Don't wanna spread the name, in fact the server is the most shit i ever played.

Is it more illegal than playing on a private server?

I would upload the client to mega.

Of course, I would allow nostalrius staff to vet the client and only share it here with their permission. I would ask them to make the changes to the LUA files anyway.
