## 🌟 Use Cases
|
|
|
|
### 1. Game Preservation

When EA shuts down official servers, community servers keep the game playable.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Private Servers
|
|
Friends/groups can host private servers for exclusive play.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Offline Play
|
|
Play without internet connection on local network.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Custom Content
|
|
Server operators can modify catalogs, events, rewards.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Educational
|
|
Learn about client-server architecture, protocol reverse engineering.
|
|
|
|
### 6. Development
|
|
Test and develop features without affecting official servers.
