borisdekleer 14 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hello Aigrind, Where do i start...oh yea! So, I came across this new costume you wanted to release next patch, which looks really odd to me. Let us take a closer look at: As you can see here above, there are 2 pictures. The first picture is from the game League of Legends and the second one of course from our beloved and adored game, warspear online. So, as we are looking at both of them, you can surely see they are almost identical. The only difference is the missing skull on the warspear version. League of Legends as I know, is not very happy by other content creators, stealing their designs. Honestly I would be ashamed as art designer of Warspear to even try to publish such a thing, but I suppose that is just me. I hope I have informed you enough about my topic :) Yours sincerely, Boris Onceagain and kimkaa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcbref 610 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Warspear has costumes that are clearly pixel version of some actual thing and hairstyles that are almost identical to that of a real thing Costume that comes to mind is (Willy?) from halloween 2015 Edited October 23, 2018 by Jcbreff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgings 1824 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 We have had bosses with the resemblances of characters from very famous Movies such as Saw, the Enigmist (Halloween 2015) called then "Wally the Puppet" and fought as Main Boss in dungeons of the Median Night Event of 2015, indeed. Can't see such a huge scandal with that, in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackb 33 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 its blatent copyright theft as they did it with the nightmare before Christmas and relabelled it horrible jack with a minor alteration. Nian is blatently blanka from street fighter. the list goes on and on. the problem is that because of minor alterations such as the chinese do with cars, they class it as something entirely different even tho they have blatently stole someone elses design and hard work :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeon Muller 17 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My solution to this would be Play lol and stop warspear @borisdekleer Many companies do that and it's kibd of a free advertisement where both sides profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borisdekleer 14 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 I am sorry but you make no sense at all. I do not see how that would solve my issue here @Leeon Muller. @JackbI sure agree with you on that one, there have been costumes looking quite close to the ones of other companies but this design is just absurd. Even the eye colours match...that is even the lowest effort of copyrighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure League of Legends has protected their content with copyrights, and what Warspear is doing is nothing short of copyright infringement (also known as piracy). This is quite pathetic for a game company like Aigrind if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgings 1824 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 What would happen if they instead had a kind of agreement with LoL creators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they did it by themselves without knowing it even existed 🙂 Quite pathetic to blame them for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivenorik 2231 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Wow, the truth is very similar. In any case, I think we haven't violated any laws. Will keep in mind, thank you for your message! Higgings and Hazelnut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjaminbt 325 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) I honestly don't see where the problem is. Costumes in Warspear Online are wearables. It's like you wore a Halloween costume all year in real life. Should companies sue you for wearing a costume that resembles one of their characters? These items are implemented in the game to make them more interesting to play. Ezio from AC, Wally from Saw, the Witch King from The Lord of The Rings (as well as the Apocalypse Rider - Nazgúl)...etc... They are all popular characters from famous franchises. It makes the game way more interesting to play with. Besides, even if many of them resemble to other characters from other franchises, Warspear Online still has many unique characters and costumes. And I am quite sure they know what they are doing. They aren't a small little company, their game has millions of players. They draw attention. They know if it was in any case illegal they would have to pay the price for it. Edited October 26, 2018 by BennyBT Bopp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosotraes 350 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) There are literally Dragonborn costumes in the game. I'm sure Aigrind is allowed to use them.
