I was WONDERING how long it'd take pathetic Mary to show up....


She disappointed me, took MUCH longer than normal. She must be slipping.

No, really... trust me on this... you WON'T understand.... It's an ACF kind of thing...

You have no idea how long I have waited to see a thread entitled “Decal is Dead” and actually having even a slight chance of being real.


The real meaning of such a title is that the days of pathetic selfish cheaters overrunning AC and spreading their virus are gone.


And yes I realize this thread’s title is too good to be true. But it may be interesting to see where it takes us.


I think what might really be happening here is that one or more of the Decal Devs see the chore of updating Decal as too much, and that they felt relieved to see a reason to use for not doing it. This makes me smile.


The Decal Devs should not update Decal and give the right reason… that they are not updating it because they let the cat of the bag and destroyed AC, and they have decided to do the right thing.


But whatever they say, I thank them in advance for not updating Decal.

Pffft Cecile, I had my new proxy in 30 seconds. I took my time getting here because I was too busy enjoying the bliss of an absolutely bot-free Dereth. My father is even considering coming out into the sunshine.

Mary you would quit very shortly if there were no macroers. You would be so bored in the matter of days.

I'm wondering where Decal stands as well.


Sadly, Turbine allowed this to happen. If they released the expansion with an API that can be hooked into, there would no longer be an outcy over the Decal Devs giving up. But Turbine relied on Decal, so did not make an easy to use API.


On the plus side, i think if Decal is dead, there will be an official plugin program within a few months, or most of the plugins will be incorperated into AC.

Don't get your hopes up there Mary... You're seeing a post by a singular Decal Dev. There is definately more to the Decal Dev team that Gouru, although Gouru is a very large part of it (no pun intended).


If for some reason, we as a team feel the need to do so, then we will, but until then, options have to be discussed.. Gouru has a valid point which has been addressed by Ibn. With that being said, we haven't stopped working on getting Decal updated... Even WITH this thread. This thread was mainly for clarification of the issue, which I believe served its purpose.


So go back to dream-land and get in your decal-free time while you can, because as soon as we can, we're going to get this back up and going.


and for the sake of all that's right and holy, PLEASE stop using phrases like "let the cat out of the bag" or "let the genie out of the bottle"... ENOUGH with it! It's a cliche! It's over used. There was no cat, bag, or genie. Just AC and Decal. Even if for some reason WE didn't update Decal, how long do you think it would be before someone else did?


Think about it!

Ok instead of saying you let the cat out of the bag, let me be blunt.


YOU ENABLED DIRT BAGS LIKE ELGAR TO RUIN AC.


Go ahead and keep supporting them if you like. I am really very far from giving a crap and I say that due to Turbine’s mismanagement.

i and turbine both think that ac doesnt have a few month to live if decal is dead and the FIRST result of this topic is turbine understanding that they depend from 3rd party apps and that they dont have any control on that .

So i bet the Api of turbine is now their 1 focus goal .


so the turbine api should come very soon , now will ac still live by that time is another story .
