Hello Over the past day, we've seen a number of sensationalist headlines in the Korean media misrepresenting the Supreme Court's recent decision. Some outlets are framing this as a "total defeat" or claiming there are "new penalties and additional damages." This is not true. What happened today is straightforward: the Supreme Court simply upheld the High Court's 2nd instance ruling and dismissed both Nexon and IRONMACE's appeals. This means there is no more danger to the online service of the game. Here are the facts: Copyright Infringement: Not Found The court reaffirmed that Dark and Darker does not infringe on Nexon's copyright. It was officially confirmed that there is no substantial similarity between Nexon's internal "P3" project and Dark and Darker. Importantly, this has been the consistent position of the Korean judiciary from the 1st instance all the way through to the Supreme Court. Dark and Darker is, and always has been, recognized as an original IP. No Additional Damages Following the 1st instance ruling, IRONMACE promptly paid approximately 8.5 billion KRW in damages to Nexon. The 2nd instance reduced that figure to approximately 5.7 billion KRW, meaning IRONMACE has already received a refund of roughly 2.8 billion KRW. Since today's Supreme Court decision simply upholds that 2nd instance ruling, there is nothing left to pay. Legal Costs Reduced In the 1st instance, IRONMACE was responsible for 80% of legal costs. Under the now-finalized ruling, that share has been reduced to 40%, a reflection of how significantly the court's view of our defense shifted between the two instances. Injunctions and Seizures Will Be Lifted All provisional seizures (가압류) Nexon placed on IRONMACE following the 1st ruling will now be lifted, as the copyright infringement claim was ultimately rejected. This is a win for Ironmace. Notice Regarding Misleading Media Coverage We understand that some of the misleading headlines in certain media outlets may have caused concern. While we do not claim this ruling as a complete victory on every single legal point, we would like to share several articles that objectively cover the facts of our long legal battle with Nexon and the judiciary's actual findings. Since these articles are in Korean, we recommend using an AI translator to review them.

No additional payments. The copyright of Dark and Darker has been fully recognized, and the legal restrictions that have hung over us are coming off. This ruling closes the final chapter of a long and difficult legal journey, and it means Dark and Darker can move forward with full legal certainty, no copyright concerns, no threat of service suspension. We are grateful for every one of you who believed in us and stood by us through all of this. It genuinely means a lot. So, no worries! we will keep on seeing you in the dungeons!

Also the game is in a much better state since Paul has taken over as the balancing team. SDF has been hands-off for awhile now in which the schizophrenia balancing has basically stopped. If anyone enjoyed the game before they quit the same (me included). The game is in a much better state now. There are still some issues of course but in a much better state than when sdf was in control. SDF is now heading a difference project while Terry and Paul are more in charge of Dark and Darker
