MidnightJ, you are correct. In 99% of the instances of private servers, they are illegal. This is due to the fact that most of them steal from the company by offering free play, free updates, and donation items so the independent group running the server can maintain it. In the case of the emulator that I'm using, this is quite different. With our emulator, we still use the POL viewer and the proper login proxies and such. This is what separates us from everyone else. The company still gets the money it deserves, therefore the servers are entirely legit. We have already spoken to a spokesman from SE, and I personally have spoken with a GM on the matter. They do not seek to bring up any legal action against the creators of the emulator or try to remove the emulator from the market.
Even though the game will still require the monthly payments to SE for the game, we will offer many new and exciting things.
We are working on city sieges, which are similar to what occurs in Aht Urghan with the beastment. Jeuno, for instance, will be attacked by goblins and gigas, and occasionally a few Behemoth's. Windurst will be attacked by Yagudo, various Windurst area beasts, and from time to time, Nidhogg. You get the point.
Also, EXP rates, Gil rates, and so on will be custom. NPCs will also have custom shops, in which the server admin can customize to his/her wish, including prices of items, r/ex items only dropped by HNMs or obtainable through quests, and event specific items.
We will also try to correct a few things that SE has dropped the ball on. We will be experimenting with mass PVP that will take Ballista to a whole new level!
We will also experiment with allowing each person to have their level cap upped to 125, the same as the HNMs! This will throw a whole new swing on how HNMs are camped.
We will strive to give you the best possible entertainment we can offer, as well as the best GM support ANY private server will ever be able to possibly comprehend.
