Documented EA's requirements for community servers:
- ⚖️ NO real money in-app purchases (PROHIBITED)
- ⚖️ NO charging for APK distribution (PROHIBITED)
- ✅ Donations for server upkeep are allowed
- ✅ All in-game content must be FREE
Added EA-LEGAL-AGREEMENT.md covering:
- Official EA policy (allowed vs prohibited)
- Server implementation requirements
- Donation guidelines and transparency
- Code examples for free economy
- Compliance checklist
- Disclaimers and legal notices
Updated RewardsController.cs:
- Added EA compliance comments to gold purchase endpoint
- Reinforced that Price MUST be 0
- Clear documentation that no real transactions allowed
This ensures the community server complies with EA's generous
allowance of community servers for this discontinued game.
Complete gap analysis between APK requirements and current server:
- 58 endpoints already implemented (12 controllers)
- Identified critical missing endpoints (Synergy ID, config, save/load)
- Prioritized implementation roadmap (4 phases)
- Testing strategy and success criteria
- Immediate action items for Phase 1
Key findings:
- Server has good foundation with auth, assets, progression stubs
- Missing critical identity/save flow
- Need event system extraction from APK
- Modding system already complete (unique feature)
Next: Implement Synergy ID generation, config endpoint, save/load system
Benefits:
- More flexible - can enter any version (14.0.2, 13.5.1, etc.)
- Future-proof - not limited to predefined versions
- Supports auto-detection in ZIP upload (leave blank)
- Regex validation: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH or 'universal'
Single upload: Required field with placeholder examples
ZIP upload: Optional field (detects from manifest.json if blank)
