Easter Eggs allowed?

Are servers allowed to do easter eggs about other games? , just little spoofs.
Im sure easter eggs relateing to other servers is if you get permission to thare content.

Can anyone fill me in on the limitations of it? no easter egg gfx will be copyed from another game , just remade to look like a senero from another.

A example would be , a "error" in the design of a server and players can get around something that seams like they shouldnt. Lets just say they get around and find a level that looks like a populer zelda level just in ruins. but the tileset is different and the name of the area is something simuler like "Glitch to the Past". Would this be allowed? Its simuler to somethign everyone knows, but still not copying right?

As long as you don't copy anything you'll be fine. Easter Eggs are completely okay, as there is a parody exception in copyright laws.

Of course they're allowed, there's not enough of them in Graal tbh.

Have some NPC that says "I am error" like In Zelda 2.

I agree. This is something I have always wanted to do because I personally love these sort of references.

I was thinking of mixing my server project into a parody theme kinda server, Almost like jnx , everything in the game was a parody in a way but i was to young to realize it at the time :P
