One of Genshin Impact's more popular wiki sites is returning despite game developer Mihoyo allegedly sending the site's hosting provider an intellectual property complaint. The lead developer of Honey Hunter World took to Twitter on September 10 to inform players that the site would be taken down within a day. Now, though, the developer says the website is returning with a few changes.
The developer, who goes by the name Honey online, explained on September 11 in an updated post on its website that it would be "migrating to DMCA ignored hosting". A day later (September 12), Honey further added on Twitter that they are removing watermarks alongside "any copyrights" related to Mihoyo. At the time of writing, the Genshin Impact subdomain of Honey Hunter World remains accessible, with the trademark acknowledgement at the bottom changed to something else. The main website, however, remains down.
Honey's post on the website also includes a copy of the said alleged notice sent from Mihoyo. The message claimed IP infringement, stating that the wiki broke Genshin Impact's end-user agreement, which prohibits anything that would "copy, reproduce, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise create derivative works based on any of the Mihoyo services". The message also noted that Honey Hunter World contained and displayed "openly the confidential statistics and copyrighted works" of its game package as well as "materials that have not even been published" by the developer yet.
