People all have their opinions on this subject. Let's talk about facts, which non of us can deny nor change. The population numbers did NOT decrease when Elgar pulled El Tank, and haven't in the months since. They are identical to the numbers in the months before El Tank death.


Seems the death of El Tank didn't hurt Turbine, help Turbine, NOR drive away any customers from the game. End of story.



Ahh, but the creation and public release destroyed the game. The title of the thread is "story of eltank". And while Im not Arlo Gutherie and Im not going to sing Alice's Restaurant for you, I can tell you that most former ACers Ive talked to always ask if AC is still a cheaters paradise.

That said... ELTank didn't "level" anything. It gave macros to the public and to those who didn't deserve it (not that anyone did).


I was never a fan of macros, but the macros that DID exist were written by developers whom mostly did it to see if they could, and didn't even care about using them. At least it was contained and private. Elgar made it public and made it an issue.

They most certanly were not contained. I didn't care for macros either. /shrug


On my prefered server all the XP dungeons for every level had been macro whored. Live players were stuck out of doors with often dubious XP.


I understand your sentiment about 'who deserves what' but in a game where we all were paying the same fee one group did not deserve the most oppertunity for advancemebt because they had private programs running. The private macros detected the targets before a live user got the info on their comp and had them half dead at that time.
