KiwiNet is an experimental server emulator for pre-release versions of Path of Exile (0.x). The only currently supported version is 0.8.8 (beta).
This project is intended for educational and archival purposes only. Support for "modern" versions (3.x+) is not planned.
This is still very far from being "playable".

The 0.8.8 client ISO is available on Archive.org as "Path Of Exile PAX 2011 Closed Beta".
