lol...


Elgarl you suck...


I was dissapointed in you when you said you were going to abondon el tank and told people they can use it till it is broke and then turned around and pulled tha auth server so they couldnt use combat and then because a few bad apples you kill bitted after saying people could use it if they could bypass it in a proper way as well as they can still use the other functions of el tank.


Your just a prick..


Im glad your leaving the AC community.

I have everything I need now - Alinco, BuffMe, Virindi Follower, Target Info. Does everything I used in ELTank and does it better.


So here's props to the author's of those plugins, very nice. Especially Virindi for coming up with a nice following plugin very quickly.

I cannot say for sure who wide spread the hacked Eltank is. But here is a picture that I found on Turbine's forums of someone use the hacked DLL and getting around the killbit:

You can read his complaint on Turbine's forum:

Yula, just to set the record straight...not sure why you think this guy is using a hacked .dll version....nowhere in there does it say that. El Tank (at least the parts of it that work without the auth server) STILL WORK until you UPDATE DECAL. Once you hit the update button in decal the killbit takes effect. (obviously after next patch everyone will have decal updated and therefor El Tank will officially be dead)


For those that haven't updated decal since they killbit El Tank, the portions of El Tank that work without the auth server (El Track and lots of other functions) still work fine. Nowhere in that picture did I see anything about a hacked .dll file.

Yula, that's me. I've made no bones about the fact that I still have a working ElTank.

Boo for the killbit I had a working solution that required no modification of any files distributed with eltank. It wasn't the simplest solution, but it worked, and I'm sure most people with a clue could have followed the instructions and had it working.


Oh well, too late now.

Elgar has taken his ball and gone home. I'm sure the game will go on without him OR his ball ...


That being said, I'm using Alinco for buffing and helping me find things (I STILL tend to look at them myself too), AgentZ for the nice configurable HUDs and other ingame changes it allows, Target Info to help me keep track of what has which debuff, GoArrow for tracking my favorite places and routing purposes (almost like having Oracle of Dereth back!!), and Quest Timer for tracking quests and ability to check timers on all my characters from ingame. When my wrists are hurting, I allow LT to help me with fighting when I play my mage. Yes, that is a few plugins running. Yes, I'm still on dialup. And surprisingly? I have less lag running all of them than I had with ElTank. Sad, but true ...


Elgar, if you're reading this, I'm sorry, but I was not the ONLY person who saw your statements about keeping Tank up until Decal itself broke it. Your statement that you made no such commitments is erroneous ... Sorry you feel that your issues with Turbine (whatever the heck they are) is enough justification for letting a lot of people down. As I was taught as a child - your issues are YOUR issues, not everyone else's issues ... and as such, should not be imposed upon others. Enjoy your new game, I hope to hell they can fulfill ALL of your expectations, whatever they may be.

I too think that it wasn't a "smooth move" to down the server and request that the killbit be activated. I would have much preferred that he did what he originally said and let ElTank die when Decal was updated.


I would like to see him recompile one final version of ElTank that would not check for his server, and release it out there ... I'll even host it for him so he doesn't have to tie up bandwidth for that. Then TRUELY let ElTank work until Decal changes.
