Well I will say one thing the problems Decal Devs have with Elgar should not effect the decision on weather or not to keep Deacal alive. Yes we know you both have problems with each other but they are your porblems, we as players love both Deacal and Tank they both provide us with a great service and I think alot of ppl would even pay to be able to use both of them. But if Decal dies AC will most definately die with it...

couldn't ya ban certian programs somehow from using decal then? hehe

You are missing the point when you compare Decal to Crack. Decal provides an interface that makes it easy to add functionality to the games UI. If you think that Decal users are addicted to anything, think instead that we are addicted to good game play.


Does anyone really think that the games UI is complete and doesn't need upgrades? Go play a few of the latest generation of MMORPGs and you'll get an idea of what features players expect from a UI.


Decal is a good thing and I appreciate all of the work that its developers have put into it.

Question on banning programs from Decal has come up before.


My stand is this, unless and until Turbine gives clear public guidelines on which programs should be banned, we won't do it. The old CoC allowed attended combat macroing. As much as I hate it, we're not banning it.


Turbine made it clear they were against Envoy Alarms, we did what we could to remove them, and even succeeded in getting some people banned that were depending on them. However, we don't have 'bans' in Decal yet, and are not ready to open that can of worms without close collaboration with Turbine.


Regardless of what people think, our desires are to improve the player experience, not turn it into Decal's Call.

---------------------------------

Folks seem to understand that the Envoys are like rogue agents or something, let me assure that's not the case. If Katahdin doesn't say "Do this differently," they're not going to change their procedures just because the wording of the CoC has changed.

---------------------------------


This is not about interpretation, you guys are well known for saying "no stand" "we wont take action" and then suddendly 180 degree your policy and start attacking players for continueing a playstyle they've grown accustomed to. I take the CoC change for exactly what it is, a window for more sweeping and game breaking changes. I've NEVER UCM'ed(highest char is 92), and these changes offended me.


And then come the +envoys handing out abuse and random play interruptions several times a day to players doing nothing wrong. After several rounds of unjustified abuse and harassment from the +envoys, I politely post on the turbine message boards asking for them to ease up a little, maybe at least try beign polite, I got gagged. Fair enough, accounts canceled for 9 months. Threatening to stop taking my money is weak threat, it means nothing. But if you are gonna interrupt my fun...I'll find somethign better to do.


So here I am, giving Ac another go, just to see the expansion(not impressed so far),though I am having fun. I'll leave it up to you guys, screw with my fun again though..and I'll move on.

I just spoke to our project manager and our folks in legal. We confirmed that the change to the Code of Conduct was NOT intentional. Essentially it was a typo -- no one on the dev team or customer service saw it because the folks who wrote the new version didn't realize it was a change.


We'll be propping a new version of the Code of Conduct within a day or two that puts back the old language.


As I said, no one on the dev team or customer service had made any changes to our policies regarding UCM and third-party apps. I just needed to check with legal to find out why the wording had been changed -- as it turns out, they hadn't made any intentional change either.


Many apologies for the confusion. However I must point out that this could've been resolved with a lot less grief if the entire discussion had been handled more calmly.

But it would not have been as much fun.
