The emulator and this site

The Blighted Emu emulator is free software under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or later (AGPL-3.0-or-later). Its source is public on GitHub.

The code of this website is not open source. All rights reserved. Third-party libraries and the fonts keep their own licences.

What the emulator licence does not cover

The emulator licence covers only the code and documents written for the project. It gives no rights to anything that belongs to the owners of New World: the game, its client, files, data, art, sound and text, and the names and logos New World, New World: Aeternum, Amazon Games and Amazon. This project ships no game files. Players use their own legal copy of the game.

Privacy

This site uses no analytics and no tracking, and sets no cookies for visitors.

Staff who log in to the staff area with Discord get one login cookie. For staff, the site stores the Discord user id, the Discord name and the email address that Discord gives, to know who wrote each post. The site does not store player accounts; those are made in the Blighted launcher.

The game servers send this site their state and the leaderboards. The leaderboards show character and company names as in the game.
