Playwith Interactive (PlayWithi / PWi) is an American subsidiary of Playwith Korea based in California. Steve is COO of PWi. PWi is a licensee of YNK Korea's R.O.H.A.N. Used to be a wholly owned subsidiary, but now they are a separate entity and host several games produced by a number of publishers.

While PWi can configure the game and make incremental changes to it, they can't fix bugs. For bug fixes they depend on YNK for bug fixes and base code changes. They just don't have the expertise or source-level access to make real game changes.

Like you said pwi in America is a susidiary of those in Korea, but in difference that Koreans have full right to it and only they can fix anything, if Steve is COO of PWi that it means he is a translator and can talk with them to make this game better. Still license for PWi here is one thing, fixing bugs is another, the license is only given prolly to host the games or make contracts with other hosters which may host as well, like PH rohan.

These days Mr. Lee is more interested in removing competition that might lure his players away. So he trolls places like epvpers and other sites looking for new private servers opening and sending out DMCA takedown requests to their hosts.

Private server means one, that his "mother" (main game) sucks so badly that players need to configure the game and make it more and fair balance. But still instead of sending those DMCA of stolen source of the game code they should fix their main game here, so the privates could stop one day.

Very true. If PWi's server were actually good and satisfying to most of its players, people would not feel the need to look elsewhere.
Private servers thrive on dissatisfied players that leave here disgusted. If players were satisfied here, private servers would die off because nobody would want to leave.
It takes a lot more than putting out a 'wiped' server with the same load of overpriced, overpowered goods and unbalanced skill crap.

When players cry that they can't play because the overpowered classes are wiping up the board with them, what does PWi do? Put out more overpowered crap and unbalance things even further.

Players don't like that and if the management here would only take the time to look at what they did in the past, read the forums and look at the player base after those changes they would see what works and what doesn't. Unfortunately the selling of that overpowered crap is what keeps this game alive and as long as that happens, things won't change.
