"Chronoshift" was a fan project made in 2020 to capture the old-school magic of "League of Legends." Developers used emulation techniques to create an experience with older graphics, outdated maps that haven't been seen in the game in years, and 65 champions, compared to the 155 champions now available in the live game. From small balance changes to massive overhauls to how champions work, these hundreds of changes have fundamentally altered the feel of the title. Over the last 11 years, the game has drastically changed, with developer Riot Games adding new content, called "patches," every two to three weeks.
"League of Legends" has been going strong since October 2009, putting players into the roles of champions with unique powers who fight an enemy base. Riot Games, the developer of the hit video game "League of Legends," has issued a legal request to cease development on "Chronoshift," a fan-made game. Chronoshift was never going to go past a patch in early season two, and was not designed to compete with the live game.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
The post further read, “Chronoshift has not interacted with the live game, or live game accounts, in any way, shape or form. The post on Reddit also shared that the project was intended to preserve the version of the game which is no longer available to download. Moreover, the Chronoshiftdev account wrote, “To our best knowledge, and the assessment of the lawyers specialized in IT copyright we talked the project over with, we have not done anything illegal.”
Nevertheless, the Chronoshift operators accepted the demands and complied with Riot Games. The developers were utterly disappointed in Riot and how they tackled the situation. Riot made it clear that this letter is a standard demand issued to those developers who are engaged in the unauthorized use of Riot’s intellectual property. In addition, we demand that you turn over to Riot all of the software materials associated with Chronoshift, including any modded clients and any source code you or others have developed in connection with the project.” The letter read, “Riot cannot permit the use or exploitation of unauthorized emulated services in any manner, by anyone, irrespective of the intent or purpose. However, Riot has now shut down the Legacy Server via cease-and-desist proceedings.Ī letter was sent to the Chronoshift developers earlier which demanded an immediate halt to the project Chronoshift and to take down the server. The server was in development and was announced last year in March. The fan-made project of League of Legends lets players access a ten-year-old version of League of Legends.
