How do communities make private servers for games which don’t provide server software?

403 views

I’m thinking for games like RuneScape/old school RuneScape where there are multiple private servers, World of Warcraft, BattleForged (Skylord reborn) etc.

From my understanding the user’s only have access to a downloadable client that they use to connect to the main game server, do people reverse engineer a server with all the server side logic?

Reverse engineering, collaborative effort, and sometimes figuring out ways to get servers to provide info they normally wouldn’t procure to players

Leaks can also be a factor

For a currently developing example you might be able to ask more about the process from, the Dragalia Lost community has managed to start such a project up
