Not to mention how they verified the use of the programs. Either they are devoting more time and resources to actually begin cracking down on it...... or the numbers as some have alluded to may be made up all together.I was thinking that too, I don't remember any numbers for that before or certainly not so high anyway, it's odd when they refuse to actually say whether (or which of) those programs are illegal.
Not debating whether possible or not. I'm questioning that they would actually have the additional time to start attacking that beast of beasts. Considering publish 109 and the "big thing" are being worked on I find it reasonable to have at least a bit of skepticism.Its absolutely detectable. Imagine one player using 10 accounts to farm shadowguard, you cannot possibly believe someone can spam bandages, heals, cures, invis, and special abilities, on all 10 chars simultaneously without illegal 3rd party assistance. You could say 'yes that player could have had a salt shaker on a key to loop that spell training' but you cant say 'that player put a salt shaker on a key to tame bulls, rename them, release them, and fireball them.' I doubt any of those were pvp related, more likely targetting the people multibotting.
what are the details of this invasion? link? thx
I find it easy to do shadowguard with 10 characters using 1 UOA, and 9 default clients.Its absolutely detectable. Imagine one player using 10 accounts to farm shadowguard, you cannot possibly believe someone can spam bandages, heals, cures, invis, and special abilities, on all 10 chars simultaneously without illegal 3rd party assistance.
They don't want players using such list as a guide to what to use. Much easier to have a "legal program list" and outlaw everything else.It's also odd that (atleast to my knowledge) there's no "illegal programs list"
You're right, but there's no list of that sort either, is there?They don't want players using such list as a guide to what to use. Much easier to have a "legal program list" and outlaw everything else.
Thx Pawain for the info sure it’ll be fun !It was multipart and included most player types.
First we have to build the Oblisk to make our weapons Titan Slayers.
Sounds complicated but was easy. Includes Trade routes, T hunting. Fishing up SoS, Crafting. Summoning Demon Babies, (Focus) Then finally fighting.
Nevermind. Kyronix just said they are only activating the Invasion part. You go to the city that is being invaded and kill stuff. then a Titan Boss appears. Someone says they happen every hour, I forgot.
@PinkPandora Our Demon Baby misses his Mommy!
That would be East Coast USA Time. To bad they couldn't post both times AEST and EDTMonday May 11th Oceania @ 8 pm ET
What does that mean? ET?
We run on AEST in Australia. Just trying to work out what that is?
Ok so 8pm Monday May 11th is 10am Tuesday 12th here.That would be East Coast USA Time. To bad they couldn't post both times AEST and EDT
I think there is, albeit a short one. AFAIK the only officially approved third party app is UO Assist. Everything else is technically illegal.You're right, but there's no list of that sort either, is there?

People have been jailed for simply running macros afk. A GM has no means to see whether you use illegal tools or not, less so what they technically do. It just comes down to being able to reply to a GM at any time. Just using third party tools won't get you banned.<sigh> Back to whats okay and what's not ... for the umpteenth time. Hell, I think it before Draconi even.
It was definitively stated years ago - before BS - that generally anything that ALTERS the datastream between client and server are ILLEGAL and BANNABLE if caught using. Speed hacks are in this category.
That means anything that DOES NOT interfere with the datastream IS allowed. This is like (but not limited to) UO Assist, UOCart, UO Automap. UO Wedding and other apps like them.
They do go after the dungeon "scriptors" y'all just don't understand that they are sitting at their work station. And watching. They are just like a security guard watching their monitors. No special programs needed. That is their choice for work or entertainment. It is not your choice so you do not understand it or you think is is not what someone should do as a "job".I still think that anyone who is a 'professional' scripter has some way of replying to a GM, I'm not a programmer but I bet those scripts are pretty sophisticated after all this time. I'm quite sure the only people who got caught were regular players just trying to get ahead by afk macroing in their house. That change makes their numbers look good, if those numbers are to be believed. They will never go after the ones with a ton of accounts that are running scripts to farm in dungeons, multi-boxing EM events or trying to get around the IDOC changes, they would lose too many accounts at once.
I was responding to a remark asking why TPTB don't clarify what 3rd party app was legal and what wasn't.People have been jailed for simply running macros afk.
