VHGR: Virtual Harmless Gamers Resource.
VHGR: Virtual HGR. Virtual Hagerstown Regional Airport (IATA: HGR, ICAO: KHGR),
also known as Richard A. Henson Field, is a public airport located four miles (6
km) north of the central business district (CBD) of Hagerstown, in Washington
County, Maryland, USA. The airport is in western Maryland off of Interstate 81,
not far from Northern Virginia, southern central Pennsylvania, and the Eastern
Panhandle of West Virginia. Limited commercial service is available at the
airport. Service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.
An airport is a facility where aircraft such as airplanes and helicopters
operate. An airport minimally consists of one runway or helipad (for
helicopters), for take offs and landings, and usually buildings as hangars,
terminal buildings and a control center.
Additionally, an airport may have a variety of facilities and infrastructure,
including fixed base operator services, air traffic control, passenger
facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services. A military
airport is known as an airbase or air station. The terms airfield, airstrip, and
aerodrome may also be used to refer to airports of varying sizes. In some
jurisdictions, the term airport is used where the facility is licensed as such
by the relevant government organization (e.g. FAA, Transport Canada). Elsewhere
the distinction is merely one of general appearance. Yet other areas define an
airport by its having the necessary customs offices etc expected of a port.

Airports vary in size, with smaller or less-developed airports often having only
a single runway shorter than 1,000 m (3,300 ft). Larger airports for
international flights generally have paved runways 2,000 m (6,600 ft) or longer.
Many small airports have dirt, grass, or gravel runways, rather than asphalt or
concrete.
In the United States, the minimum dimensions for dry, hard landing fields are
defined by the FAR Landing And Takeoff Field Lengths. These include
considerations for safety margins during landing and takeoff. Typically, heavier
aircraft require longer runways. The longest public-use runway in the world is
at Qamdo Bangda Airport, in Bangda, Qamdo, China. It has a length of 5,500 m
(18,045 ft). The world's widest paved runway is at Ulyanovsk Vostochny Airport
and is 105 m (344 ft) wide. As of 2006, there were approximately 49,000 airports
around the world, including 14,858 in the United States alone.[https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2053.html]
Airport ownership and operation
Most of the world's airports are owned by local, regional, or national
government bodies who then lease the airport to private corporations who oversee
the airport's entire operation. For example, the British firm BAA plc operates
seven of the commercial airports in the United Kingdom, as well as several other
airports outside of the UK. Germany's Frankfurt International Airport is managed
by the quasi-private firm Fraport AG.
In the United States, most airports are operated directly by government entities
or government-created airport authorities (also known as port authorities). Only
Indianapolis International Airport, which is owned by the City of Indianapolis
and leased to BAA Indianapolis, Inc., a subsidiary of the British airport firm
BAA plc, and Stewart International Airport in New York's Hudson Valley, are
entirely operated by a private entity. Stewart International Airport was the
nation's first privatized commercial airport and operates under a 99-year lease
agreement with the New York State Department of Transportation. National Express
Group, Inc., operates Stewart International Airport and is the United States
subsidiary of the National Express Group, plc, in the United Kingdom.

Many U.S. airports still lease part or all of their facilities to outside firms,
who operate specific functions such as retail management and parking. In the
United States, all commercial airport runways are certified by the Federal
Aviation Administration, but maintained by the local airport under the
regulatory authority of the FAA.
Despite the reluctance to privatize airports in the United States (despite the
FAA sponsoring a privatization program since 1996), the government-owned,
contractor-operated (GOCO) arrangement is the standard for the operation of
commercial airports in the rest of the world.
In New Zealand, Auckland International Airport, the nation's main international
airport, is fully privatised. Ownership and operation of the 1,497 hectare
complex is vested entirely with Auckland International Airport Limited, a public
company, with the only governmental involvement being Airways Corporation of New
Zealand's operation of air traffic control systems. Similar arrangements pertain
to Wellington and Christchurch airports, and most other main airports are
operated by private companies.
In Argentina, 32 airports including the main airport Ezeiza International
Airport are operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, a private company. On the
other hand, 3 airports are operated by another company named London Supply.
Airport structures

Airports are divided into landside and airside areas. Landside areas include
parking lots, public transportation stations, tank farms and access roads.
Airside areas include all areas accessible to aircraft, including runways,
taxiways and ramps. Access from landside areas to airside areas is tightly
controlled at most airports. Passengers on commercial flights access airside
areas through terminals, where they can purchase tickets, clear security, check
or claim luggage and board aircraft through gates. The waiting areas which
provide passenger access to aircraft are typically called concourses, although
this term is often used interchangeably with terminal.
The area where aircraft park next to a terminal to load passengers and baggage
is known as a ramp (or, to the media and uninitiated, "the tarmac"). Parking
areas for aircraft away from terminals are generally called aprons
Both large and small airports can be towered or non-towered, depending on air
traffic density and available funds. Due to their high capacity and busy
airspace, most international airports have air traffic control located on site.
Airports with international flights have customs and immigration facilities.
However, as some countries have agreements that allow travel between them
without customs and immigrations, such facilities are not a definitive need for
an international airport. International flights often require a more conspicuous
level of physical security, although in recent years, many countries have
adopted the same level of security for international and domestic travel.
Modern engineers and architects are developing "floating airports" which could
be located several miles at sea and which would utilize designs such as Float
Incorporated's Pneumatic Stabilized Platform (PSP) technology.
Shops and food services
Enlarge picture
Food court and shops, Halifax International Airport
Airports have a captive audience, and consequently the prices charged for food
are generally higher than are available elsewhere in the region. However, some
airports, such as JFK's Terminal 8, guarantee prices comparable to those outside
of the airport. Airport fees are fees commonly paid for use of services of
airports, such as in the Subic Bay International Airport, known for charging
airport fees. However, some airports now regulate food costs to keep them
comparable to so-called "street prices". This term is a bit misleading as prices
often match the MSRP but are almost never discounted.
Premium and VIP Services
Several mid-large size airports also have facilities for premium passengers. In
the United States, these lounges are typically for international or long-haul
first and business class passengers, paid members, and elite-level frequent
fliers on long haul flights (regardless of what class they are in). In the rest
of the world, the lounges are not open to purchase, but can be used by all
premium passengers and most elite frequent fliers. Some lounges are
comparatively spartan and only offer a quiet place to sit and work; other
lounges include meals and massage services.
Cargo and freight services
In addition to people, airports are responsible for moving large volumes of
cargo around the clock. Cargo airlines often have their own on-site and adjacent
infrastructure to rapidly transfer parcels between ground and air modes of
transportation.
Support services
Aircraft maintenance, pilot services, aircraft rental, and hangar rental are
most often performed by a fixed base operator (FBO). At major airports,
particularly those used as hubs, airlines may operate their own support
facilities.
Some airports, typically military airbases, have long runways used as emergency
landing sites. Many airbases have arresting equipment for fast aircraft, known
as Rotary Hydraulic Arrester Gear - a strong cable suspended just above the
runway and attached to a hydraulic reduction gear mechanism. Together with the
landing aircraft's arresting hook, it is used in situations where the brakes
would have little or no effect.
Airport access
Many large airports in the world are located next to or even above railway trunk
routes, for instance Frankfurt International Airport, Amsterdam-Schiphol
Airport, London Heathrow Airport, London Gatwick Airport and London Stansted.
For local access, many airports have local train lines, rapid transit, light
rail lines or other mass transit systems, for instance the AirTrain JFK at John
F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and the Silver Line T at Boston's
Logan International Airport by the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority). These systems are usually directly connected to the main terminals.
Large airports usually have access also through freeways from which cars fed
into two access roads, designed as loops, one sitting on top of the other. One
level is for departing passengers and the other is for arrivals. This road
concept was pioneered at Los Angeles International Airport.
History and development
The earliest airplane takeoff and landing sites were simply open, grassy fields.
The plane could approach at any angle that provided a favorable wind direction.
A slight improvement was the dirt-only field, which eliminated the drag from
grass. However, these only functioned well in dry conditions. They would
eventually be replaced by concrete surfaces that allowed all-weather landings in
both daylight and at night.
Early airfields were often built for the purpose of entertainment. These
aerodromes consisted of a grassy field, with a hangar for storage and servicing
of airplanes, and observation stands for visitors.

International Airport
The title of "world's oldest airport" is disputed, but College Park Airport in
Maryland, USA, established in 1909 by Wilbur Wright, is generally agreed to be
the world's oldest continually operating airfield , although it presently serves
only general aviation traffic. Amsterdam Schiphol Airport opened on September
16, 1916 as a military airfield, but only accepted civil aircraft from December
17, 1920, allowing Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney, Australia —
which started operations in January 1920 — to claim to be the world's oldest
continually operating commercial airport. .
The first known usage of the term "airport" appeared in a newspaper article in
1919, in reference to Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Increased aircraft traffic during World War I led to the construction of regular
landing fields. Airplanes had to approach these from certain directions. This
led to the development of aids for directing the approach and landing slope.
Following the war, some of these military airfields added commercial facilities
for handling passenger traffic. One of the earliest such fields was Le Bourget,
near Paris. The first international airport to open was the Croydon Airport, in
South London . In 1922, the first permanent airport and commercial terminal
solely for commercial aviation was built at K?nigsberg, Germany. The airports of
this era used a paved "apron", which permitted night flying as well as landing
heavier airplanes.
The first lighting used on an airport was during the later part of the 1920s; in
the 1930s approach lighting came into use. These indicated the proper direction
and angle of descent. The colors and flash intervals of these lights became
standardized under the ICAO. In the 1940s, the slope-line approach system was
introduced. This consisted of two rows of lights that formed a funnel indicating
an aircraft's position on the glideslope. Additional lights indicated incorrect
altitude and direction.
Following World War II, airport design began to become more sophisticated.
Passenger buildings were being grouped together in an island, with runways
arranged in groups about the terminal. This arrangement permitted expansion of
the facilities. But it also meant that passengers had to travel further to reach
their plane.
An improvement in the landing field was the introduction of grooves in the
concrete surface. These ran perpendicular to the direction of the landing
aircraft and served to draw off excess water in rainy conditions that could
build up in front of the plane's wheels.
Airport construction boomed during the 1960s with the increase in jet aircraft
traffic. Runways were extended out to 3 km (9800 ft). The fields were
constructed out of reinforced concrete using a slip-form machine that produces a
continual slab with no disruptions along the length.
Modern landing fields are thickest in the area where the plane touches down in
order to support the force of the landing gear touching down. Runways are
constructed as smooth and level as possible using measuring devices to correct
for variations in height.
Airport designation and naming
List of airports
Airports are uniquely represented by their IATA airport code and ICAO airport
code. IATA airport codes are often abbreviated forms of the common name of the
airport, such as PHL for Philadelphia International Airport. Airports sometimes
retain their previous IATA code when an airport's name is changed. O'Hare
International Airport in Chicago retains the IATA code ORD, from its former name
of Orchard Field.
The name of the airport itself can be its location, such as Los Angeles
International Airport. It can be the name of a prominent national celebrity,
commonly a politician, e.g. John F. Kennedy International Airport, Ninoy Aquino
International Airport, Indira Gandhi International Airport, Atatürk Airport,
Lester B. Pearson International Airport or Charles de Gaulle International
Airport. Airports may also be named after a person associated with the region it
serves or prominent figures in aviation history, such as Will Rogers World
Airport, Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Kingsford Smith International Airport,
or more recently Belfast City Airport was renamed George Best Belfast City
Airport in memory of the football star who was born in Northern Ireland.

Airports are required to have safety precautions in most countries. Rules vary
in different countries, but there are common elements worldwide. Airport
security normally requires baggage checks, metal screenings of individual
persons, and rules against any object that could be used as a weapon. Since the
September 11, 2001 attacks, airport security has been dramatically increased
worldwide.

Airport operations
Outside the terminal, there is a large team of people who work in concert to
ensure aircraft can land, take off, and move around quickly and safely. These
processes are largely invisible to passengers, but they can be extraordinarily
complex at large airports.
Air traffic control
See also: Air traffic control
The vast majority of the world's airports are non-towered, with no air traffic
control presence at all. However, at particularly busy airports, or airports
with other special requirements, there is an air traffic control (ATC) system
whereby controllers (usually ground-based) direct aircraft movements via radio
or other communications links. This coordinated oversight facilitates safety and
speed in complex operations where traffic moves in all three dimensions. Air
traffic control responsibilities at airports are usually divided into at least
two main areas: ground and tower, though a single controller may work both
stations. The busiest airports also have clearance delivery, apron control, and
other specialized ATC stations.
Ground Control is responsible for directing all ground traffic in designated
"movement areas," except the traffic on runways. This includes planes, baggage
trains, snowplows, grass cutters, fuel trucks, and a wide array of other
vehicles. Ground Control will instruct these vehicles on which taxiways to use,
which runway they will use (in the case of planes), where they will park, and
when it is safe to cross runways. When a plane is ready to take off it will stop
short of the runway, at which point it will be turned over to Tower Control.
After a plane has landed, it will depart the runway and be returned to Ground
Control.

Tower Control controls aircraft on the runway and in the controlled airspace
immediately surrounding the airport. Tower controllers may use radar to identify
and accurately locate an aircraft's position in three-dimensional space, or they
may rely on pilot position reports and visual observation. They coordinate the
sequencing of aircraft in the traffic pattern and direct aircraft on how to
safely join and leave the circuit. Aircraft which are only passing through the
airspace must also contact Tower Control in order to be sure that they remain
clear of other traffic and do not disrupt operations.
Traffic pattern
All airports use a traffic pattern (often called a traffic circuit outside the
U.S.) to assure smooth traffic flow between departing and arriving aircraft.
Generally, this pattern is a circuit consisting of five "legs" that form a
rectangle (two legs and the runway form one side, with the remaining legs
forming three more sides). Each leg is named (see diagram), and ATC directs
pilots on how to join and leave the circuit. Traffic patterns are flown at one
specific altitude, usually 800 or 1000 ft. above ground level (AGL). Standard
traffic patterns are left-handed, meaning all turns are made to the left.
Right-handed patterns do exist, usually because of obstacles such as a mountain,
or to reduce noise for local residents. The predetermined circuit helps traffic
flow smoothly because all pilots know what to expect, and helps reduce the
chance of a mid-air collision.
At extremely large airports, a circuit is in place but not usually used. Rather,
aircraft (usually only commercial with long routes) request approach clearance
while they are still hours away from the airport, often before they even take
off from their departure point. Large airports have a frequency called Clearance
Delivery which is used by departing aircraft specifically for this purpose. This
then allows airplanes to take the most direct approach path to the runway and
land without worrying about interference from other aircraft. While this system
keeps the airspace free and is simpler for pilots, it requires detailed
knowledge of how aircraft are planning to use the airport ahead of time and is
therefore only possible with large commercial airliners on pre-scheduled
flights. The system has recently become so advanced that controllers can predict
whether an aircraft will be delayed on landing before it even takes off; that
aircraft can then be delayed on the ground, rather than wasting expensive fuel
waiting in the air.
Navigational aids
Enlarge picture
Standard Visual Approach Slope Indicator
When flying, there are a number of aids available to pilots, though not all
airports are equipped with them. A Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) helps
pilots fly a perfect approach for landing once they have found the airport. Some
airports are equipped with a VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) to help pilots find
the direction to the airport. VORs are often accompanied by a Distance Measuring
Equipment (DME) to determine the distance to the VOR. VORs are also located off
airports, where they serve to provide airways for aircraft to navigate upon. In
poor weather, pilots will use an Instrument Landing System to find the runway
and fly the correct approach, even if they cannot see the ground. The number of
instrument approaches based on the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) is
rapidly increasing and may eventually be the primary means for instrument
landings.
Larger airports sometimes offer Precision Approach Radar (PAR), but these
systems are more common at military air bases than civilian airports. The
aircraft's horizontal and vertical movement is tracked via radar, and the
controller tells the pilot his position relative to the approach slope. Once the
pilots can see the runway lights, they may continue with a visual landing.
Guidance signs
Airport guidance signs provide direction and information to taxiing aircraft and
airport vehicles and assist in safe and expedient movement of aircraft. Smaller
airports may have few or no signs, relying instead on airport diagrams and
charts.
There are two classes of signage at airports, with several types of each:
Operational guidance signs
* Location signs - yellow on black background. Identifies the runway or taxiway
currently on or entering.
* Direction/Runway Exit signs - black on yellow. Identifies the intersecting
taxiways the aircraft is approaching, with an arrow indicating the direction to
turn.
* Other - Many airports use conventional traffic signs such as stop and yield
signs throughout the airport.
Mandatory instruction signs
Mandatory instruction signs are white on red. They show entrances to runways or
critical areas. Vehicles and aircraft are required to stop at these signs until
the control tower gives clearance to proceed.
* Runway signs - White on a red. These signs simply identify a runway
intersection ahead.
* Frequency Change signs - Usually a stop sign and an instruction to change to
another frequency. These signs are used at airports with different areas of
ground control.
* Holding Position signs - A single solid yellow bar across a taxiway indicates
a position where ground control may require a stop. If two solid yellow bars and
two dashed yellow bars are encountered, this indicates a holding position for a
runway intersection ahead; runway holding lines must never be crossed without
permission. At some airports, a line of red lights across a taxiway is used
during low visibility operations to indicate holding positions.
Lighting
Many airports have lighting that help guide planes using the runways and
taxiways at night or in rain or fog.
On runways, green lights indicate the beginning of the runway for landing, while
red lights indicate the end of the runway. Runway edge lighting consists of
white lights spaced out on both sides of the runway, indicating the edge. Some
airports have more complicated lighting on the runways including lights that run
down the centerline of the runway and lights that help indicate the approach (an
Approach Lighting System, or ALS). Low-traffic airports may use Pilot Controlled
Lighting to save electricity and staffing costs.
Along taxiways, blue lights indicate the taxiway's edge, and some airports have
embedded green lights that indicate the centerline.
Wind indicators
Planes take-off and land into the wind in order to achieve maximum performance.
Wind speed and direction information is available through the ATIS or ATC, but
pilots need instantaneous information during landing. For this purpose, a
windsock is kept in view of the runway.
Safety management
Air safety is an important concern in the operation of an airport, and almost
every airfield includes equipment and procedures for handling emergency
situations. Commercial airfields include one or more emergency vehicles and
their crew that are specially equipped for dealing with airfield accidents, crew
and passenger extractions, and the hazards of highly flammable airplane fuel.
The crews are also trained to deal with situations such as bomb threats,
hijacking, and terrorist activities.
Potential airfield hazards to aircraft include debris, nesting birds, and
environmental conditions such as ice or snow. The fields must be kept clear of
debris using cleaning equipment so that loose material doesn't become a
projectile and enter an engine duct. In adverse weather conditions, ice and snow
clearing equipment can be used to improve traction on the landing strip. For
waiting aircraft, equipment is used to spray special deicing fluids on the
wings.

Many airports are built near open fields or wetlands. These tend to attract bird
populations, which can pose a hazard to aircraft in the form of bird strikes.
Airport crews often need to discourage birds from taking up residence.
Some airports are located next to parks, golf courses, or other low-density uses
of land. Other airports are located near densely-populated urban or suburban
areas. In the 1980's, a conflict arose in San José, California, when a plane
attempting to land at Reid-Hillview Airport (built in the 1930's) collided with
a Macy's department Store at the Eastridge shopping mall. Many local residents
tried to get the airport shut down, even though it had been there for fifty
years: their neighborhoods (and the mall) were about a decade old.
Depending on their configuration, an airport can have sections of their pavement
where collisions between airplanes on the ground can tend to occur. Records are
kept of any incursions where airplanes or vehicles are in an inappropriate
location, allowing these "hot spots" to be identified. These locations then
undergo special attention by transportation authorities (such as the FAA in the
US) and airport administrators in order to reduce accidents.
During the 1980s, a phenomenon known as microburst became a growing concern due
to accidents caused by microburst wind shear. (For example, see Delta Air Lines
Flight 191.) Microburst radar was developed as an aid to safety during landing,
giving two to five minutes warning to aircraft in the vicinity of the field of a
microburst event.
Some airfields now have a special surface known as soft concrete at the end of
the runway that behaves somewhat like styrofoam, bringing the plane to a
relatively rapid halt as the material disintegrates. These surfaces are useful
when the runway is located next to a body of water or other hazard, and prevent
the planes from overrunning the end of the field.
Airport ground crew

Ground Support Equipment
Most airports have ground crew handling the loading and unloading of passengers,
crew, baggage and other services.
Some ground crew are linked to specific airlines operating at the airport.
Environmental concerns
The traffic generated by airports both in the air and on the surface can be a
major source of aviation noise and air pollution which may interrupt nearby
residents' sleep and produce other noise health effects. The construction of new
airports, or addition of runways to existing airports, is often resisted by
local residents because of the effect on the countryside, historical sites,
local flora and fauna. As well, due to the risk of collision between birds and
airplanes, large airports undertake population control programs where they
frighten or shoot birds to ensure the safety of air travellers.
The construction of airports has been known to change local weather patterns.
For example, because they often flatten out large areas, they can be susceptible
to fog in areas where fog rarely forms. In addition, because they generally
replace trees and grass with pavement, they often change drainage patterns in
agricultural areas, leading to more flooding, run-off and erosion in the
surrounding land.
Military airbase
An airbase, sometimes referred to as a military airport or airfield, provides
basing and support of military aircraft. Some airbases provide facilities
similar to their civilian counterparts. For example, RAF Brize Norton in
Oxfordshire, England has a terminal which caters to passengers for the Royal Air
Force's scheduled Tristar flights to the Falkland Islands. Military airbases may
also be co-located with civilian airports, sharing the same tower/air traffic
control facilities, runways, taxiways and emergency services, but with separate
terminals, parking areas, hangars and shelter areas. Examples of this are
Bardufoss Airport/Bardufoss Air Station and Gardermoen Airport/Gardermoen Air
Station, both in Norway. A special variant of a military airfield is the
Aircraft Carrier.
Aircraft carriers
An aircraft carrier is a warship that functions as a floating airport for
military aircraft. Aircraft carriers allow a naval force to project air power
great distances without having to depend on local bases for land-based aircraft.
After their development in World War I, aircraft carriers replaced the
battleship as the centrepiece of a modern fleet during World War II. Unescorted
carriers are considered vulnerable to missile or submarine attacks and therefore
travel as part of a carrier battle group that includes a wide array of other
ships with specific functions.
Airports in entertainment
Airports have occasionally played major roles in motion pictures and television
shows due to being transportation hubs, but also because of their unique
characteristics. One such example of this is the movie The Terminal, a film
about a man who becomes permanently grounded in an airport terminal and must
survive only on the food and shelter provided by the airport. Movies such as
Airplane!, Airport, , Jackie Brown, Get Shorty, Unaccompanied Minors, Catch Me
If You Can and The Langoliers, as well as television series like Lost also have
significant parts of their story set within airports.
Also, several computer simulation games were created in which the player is in
charge of an airport. Names include Airport Tycoon and the sequels; Airport
Tycoon 2 and Airport Tycoon 3. There is also a Japanese series of games called
Air Traffic Controller.
Airport directories
Each national aviation authority has a source of information about airports in
their country. This would usually contain information such as elevation, airport
lighting, runway information, communications, hours of operation, nearby NAVAIDs
and much more.
* The United States uses the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD), published in
seven volumes.
* In Canada, a single publication, the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) provides
equivalent information.
* In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the equivalent information
is found in Pooley's Flight Guide, a publication compiled with the assistance of
the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Pooley's also contains information on some
continental European airports that are close to Great Britain.
* The most comprehensive, consumer/business directory of commercial airports in
the world (primarily for airports as businesses, rather than for pilots) is
organized by the trade group Airports Council International.

With the rising popularity of
commercial MMORPG games came the desire from ardent players of these games to
run their own servers beside the ones run by the game's creator. Since the
original server software is not usually available, the behavior of the server
has to be re-engineered. This can be done by analyzing the data stream with the
original server, or by disassembling and analyzing the client which is
available.
Ultima Online was one of the first
large MMORPGs. Due to its openness in implementation, server emulators arose
very quickly, even during the beta stage of development. The destination to
which the client connects was changeable by simply editing a text file. In beta
stage the client-server data stream was not encrypted yet. The term server
emulator became known through Ultima Online server reimplementation such as UOX,
which was the pioneer. Many forks and reimplementations followed UOX, because
its source code was released under the GNU General Public License relatively
early. RunUO is today the most widely used UO-server emulator. After RuneScape
implemented anti-cheating measures, many gamers left and started their own
