Ages of Norrath respects copyright. We host user-submitted content — forum posts and evidence files uploaded to support wiki corrections — and we respond to valid infringement notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.
We do not host, distribute, or link to EverQuest game client files. If you believe otherwise, please tell us; we treat it as a serious problem and not merely a legal one.

Filing a notice
To be effective under § 512(c)(3), your written notice must include substantially the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — a direct URL is best.
- Your contact information: address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.
Please be aware that under § 512(f) you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing.
What we do on receipt
We will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material, notify the user who posted it, and record the notice.
Counter-notification
If your material was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material and its location before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the complainant.
If we receive a valid counter-notice we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order.
Repeat infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
