Gunz tournament

Officially it's not allowed due to intellectual property & DMCA. You can find that in the Twitch terms of service as well. Of course the chances are slim they will outright ban the streams, plus a report would have to be filed (which are easy to fake).

What exactly CAN we do to advertise?
And is it worth the risk to advertise?

It looks like streaming is out because of risk to the streamer, but is it a risk for the server itself?

Basically is there anything we shouldn't do that would just outright cause the server to have to be shut down.

Something that's within my power is creating youtube videos on the game & server. Would doing this risk the server's operations?

Also I've never been on any other type of gunz forums or discords so I'm pretty out of the loop on the history, but it seems at the moment theres simply just drama between different private server owners n such. So an obvious threat would be other pservers, but how possible is it that masangsoft themselfs would come for us?

**also how are private servers even allowed to operate? lol. shouldnt they have legal action to take us down for just existing?

Private servers of any game are technically not allowed to operate. Although Masangsoft did express at one point that they're not really trying to take down private servers, iirc it was just an e-mail or discord message from an alleged contact person in Masangsoft like 3 years ago or something. Still, the likelihood of them taking any action against anything we do is honestly very slim (unless a miracle happens and we suddenly have a profitable playerbase) since I haven't heard them do anything even remotely related to GunZ in years.

I doubt any FG content will cause the server to shut down, so if you want to make more of that then there shouldn't be any problem.


Honestly the biggest problem we might have is not Masangsoft doing anything, it's other really really bad actors within the community itself, but that might be getting too off-topic.

Random example of us advertising is that years ago we used to have a Facebook page with tens of thousands of likes and followers. We used to advertise through that for some time until it got taken down due to a fake copyright infringement/DMCA complaint.
