Dark & Darker Backend Server Emulator

A recreated server of Dark & Darker; this server emulator aimed to emulate the backend server.

Some time ago Nexon sued Ironmace development studio of Dark & Darker, we were worried we'd lose the game once and for all, hence, we started working on a game server emulator.

We are glad Dark & Darker have been released shortly after, nullifying our effort (but we're still glad!).

WARNING: This project is incomplete, but it's a great resource to learn how D&D client communicates with its backend.
