Hi, all. Just a quick note from TowersMUX staff to clarify.
As some people here have speculated, the intent of this clause is to avoid situations where players contribute content that becomes a major part of the game, and then become disenchanted with the game and attempt to withdraw it. Most of the time, that’s fine, but we don’t want to be placed in a position where someone is trying to abruptly pull popular in-game locations, wiki content that other players rely on, log files that involve other characters, etc., by claiming copyright violation. We hope that’s not something that’ll ever come up (and we’ll be happy to work with players who no longer want to see their content in-game), but it’s also something that has come up in the past on other games.
To be clear: we do not and will not resell or reuse content created for the game and websites outside the context of the game and websites. (Some will likely get scraped off the wiki whether we like it or not; we’ll try to prevent that if we reasonably can, but the reality is that it’ll happen.) We’ll work on rephrasing item 3 so that it definitively closes off that possibility. In the meantime, we hope this isn’t a deal-killer for anyone who would otherwise be interested in giving the game a try.
Thank you!
