I came back to AC a week ago. I seem to have missed why Eltank isn't around anymore and I find myself missing it. Could someone direct me to a link where I can read what happened? Thanks.

I don't have a linky but from what I understand the short version is ElGarl had some trouble with Turbine's billing department or something and decided to take out his frustrations on us. I never really liked ElTank anyway. There are much better plugins out there now.
I've never macroed so I'm not sure what replaces that aspect of it. LifeTank maybe? For item detection and self buffing I haven't found anything that beats Alinco ( http://www.rindi.nl/alinco/ ). You'll need the seperate buffing plugin for Alinco to buff you. You'll see it on the website. For navigation it's GoArrow ( http://decal.acasylum.com/ ) all the way and for target vuln info TargetInfo (same website as GoArrow) is good.

Close but not quite.
I was happy leaving ELTank running, until Turbine withdrew funds from my bank when I didn't have any active accounts. They then failed to refund the full amount (due to exchange rates), and then proceeded to ignore all attempts at contacting them to rectify the situation.
Finally the only way I could get satisfaction was to contest the charge with my bank, who were extremely efficient and had it sorted within 24 hours (Take note Turbine, that is how customer service should be).
I then decided to pull ALL support for Turbine after their unprofessional handling of what should have been such a simple billing issue.
That is why ELank no longer exists.

They added ninjas to EO, and he threw a fit because he couldn't UCM there.
That was when he said he wasn't supporting it anymore. Later it morphed into a billing issue.

Ah, yes I know how bad their customer support is. Sorry to hear about that ElgarL. I can see why you want no part of it now.

Wrong Faradn. I canceled my last account when they added ninjas to EO, because it destroyed the dungeon (for me and many others). ELTank remained active after that. A few months later they had their billing fiasco where they charged a LOT of ex and current customers in error. That is when I took down ELTank.
I only post to correct idiots who attempt to twist things around.
Thank you Joshuel. I wish you luck and fun with your gaming.

Ok, I was going to stay away - but - if you want to get things straight, lets not neglect who you really hurt, shall we.
The players who relied on your plug in.

Very true. He didn't hurt Turbine. He hurt the players. Very lame.
