The Same Thing happened to me as well...I was charged double for one month but Turbine corrected...Too Bad Turbine doesnt take note and build a version of Eltank before they lose even more players...I certainly prefer Eltank to other plugins. Hmmm I suppose you need to have an apptitude for marketing to improve the game...

Yup I preferred Eltank but wth if he wants to throw his toys out of the pram let him on. At least he did it over something really important rather that some stupid childish whimsical issue that could be interpreted as being misguided and directed at hurting the player base ......


Have to admit the withdrawal of ELtank did imact on me .... took liek 5 mins to change to Lifetank, set up spells and other profiles.

is there a vn board plugin that alerts you of a post that uses the keyword 'Eltank'?

i am curious how this word apparently always seems to attract the ELtank plugin developer to come and rehash this old news repeatedly across all AC forums.

i was under the impression that 'quit' means 'quit'.

i would appreciate not seeing this topic again.

thanks.

I am sorry Hokus Dominokus if my question caused you trouble. I can see this is a touchy subject for you.

As a programmer I always appreciated the work Elgarl put into ElTank.


Its breadth and scope exceeded all the other plugins!


I miss it but I have moved on to separate plugins that replace part of its functionality, some better but most not as good or as easy to use. For my important stuff like villa grabbing I always use old versions of actool to create my own macros that did not depend on Decal.


Ignore these whiners who are to lazy to learn to code.

More of you should respect Elgarl's decision. Just because he took away your toy, which really is his toy, you start to throw a fit. Be constructive instead of flaming and complaining. Even I want it back. And those who hated Eltank, you should be happy now that you finally got your wish.

I agree with that. As a programmer, he put a lot of work into ELTank.


but also, as a programmer, I don't appreciate the ethical standpoint he took when releasing ELTank. Maybe HE couldn't have seen the damage it was to cause, but the rest of the Decal Developers did, and warned him not to release it. He didn't listen, and THAT is what I mostly do not appreciate about Elgar. He ignored multiple warnings and the Decal Code of Ethics to release ELTank.


He's now taken his ball and gone home. I would agree that since he has done so, and has upset MOST of his "fan base", that perhaps it is time for him to move on from these AC Utilities boards... seeing as how he doesn't support any AC Utilities anymore.
