After reading the first post in the thread, the thought popped into my head of considering coming back..then I continued reading the thread, saw Ibn's posts and thought "nevermind".

Well heard nothing from Gouru since Ibn's last post was woundering if Decal was still dead or if he has changed his mind and going to fix decal for the devoted fans that use it!!

Lastest update from IBN:


Ibn posted:

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

Okay, so when my account gets banned, I can have you get it unbanned because you said I wouldn't get banned?


I'm gonna hold you to your word.

I guess we'll never know

The CoC now states:


"Use of unauthorized third-party software or macros with the Software may be prohibited in the sole discretion of Turbine. Specifically, you may not use third-party software which allows your character to gain experience points or items without being at the keyboard, ready to respond to Turbine staff on demand (this activity is commonly called an “Unattended Macro”). Logging off as soon as an admin appears (visible or invisible) or when an admin tries to speak with you will be taken into consideration in determining the use of Unattended Macros."


So yes, technically, buff bots and crafting macros are now considered unattended macros though trade bots are not.



Correct, because Trade Bots do not gain any experience (maybe you could stretch it if they cast a Strenght buff, but I never bother doing that or even use mana stones on my trade bots).


If they go after my Buff Bot at the Mansion, and/or if Decal is dead, I am walking away from AC.


I don't want to pressure you G, but please make up your mind ... I am deliberately holding off installing AC:ToD because of this.

Kewl, thanks, I'd really have to give up my "Asheron's Crack" (and 19 accounts) over this.
