You left out the "circumvent copyright protection so your friends can also play the game without buying twenty copies of the game" which takes a considerable amount of time. Of course, I was lanning well before your purported time, so I can understand why you might not have included this part.

There is a section in here on piracy. That has always been part of it for me as well.

Ah yeah, I see it now. I guess I expected it to be front and center since in the old days this was item number 2 on the list. Shortly after, you had to make sure traffic still flowed as the client had been modified and the game might work on YOUR computer, but no one else's.
