Sapphire is a FINAL FANTASY XIV Server Emulator currently in development.
This branch is specifically for version 3.0.
Sapphire is a **research project** to learn how retail servers work and currently not production code; at this time it is **insecure** (use throwaway passwords for accounts) and you should expect a lot of things unimplemented or broken (of course contributions are always welcome).
