Silkroad Online Forums

Why can we talk in detail how to pk2 with the hex editor but now bot software? Both situations require changing code of the software that is not allowed by JM. It seems that if you can talk about one you should be able to talk about the other.
What is the differnece?

anything that chainges the original download of silkroad will get all your account s banned

Bots directly affect the client

oops double posted

bots are not allowed and this is kinda supporting bots.

which is against the Forum Rules.

With botting you destroy the 'smooth' gaming experience from other players. With PK2-editting, you don't hurt anyone, except of yourself if you destroy your client.

-ppl using bots screwing up gameplay for everyone.
-ppl pk2 editing changing the look only at their own pc, it's not changing anything anywhere else.

You don't see a difference between visual changes only to you and cheating in the game efecting everyone? >.>.

Didnt u notice that bot is a software/program that we talk about everyday?
"mass banning bots notice...."
"bots destroy the game..."
"omfg u botter..."
etc...

bot = againts rules ingame
pk2 = not againts rules ingame

pk2 editing is against the rules too...
but it doesn't effect others.

This is often a hot discussion between mods. The official word from us is.
Joymax have officially announced that botting is against the rules. Where as until they do the same with pk2 editing, we will remain neutral on it.

C'mon dude. If I take your question at face value, either you don't know what a bot is or you're not a very smart person, so I'll assume you were trying to make a different point and using this question as a rhetorical device. So what was the point you were trying to make?

pk2 editing is modifying the game files which is against the rules, and morningdew has said it will get you banned.

Didn't someone post a topic a while ago about getting banned for it too, I think theres enough evidence to tell whether it is or not.

She said it's illegal, but it doesnt violate any rule in Term of Policy and Use so it's not illegal

Since when has Joymax followed their own ToS? Last I heard, they could ban you for spamming chat. They probably havent even updated the ToS since Beta.

LOL It's not? Tell that to the guy that got banned for 100 years. Tell morningdew and JM also while you are at it because "PK2 editing is illegal" seems like they pretty much think it is.

pwned? yes? no? i think so

It's not because JM and MD said that it's illegal then it's illegal.

What is "illegal"? "Illegal" stands for "not legal" or "against the law".
What is "law"? "Law" here is the ToS. As long as pk editing is not included in the ToS, then it's not considered as a law.

Sue them, u'll get a lot of $$$

Not blaming them for not following their ridiculous ToS or just not blaming them at all?

PS: Fly, check you PMs

Actually no, because the PK2 file is technically part of the "client" because when you click on "download client" you are not only getting the .exe that says client, you are getting the whole file identified as "client" which inclued the pk2 file. Altering the client, which the PK2 file is a part of, is illegal.

If u can show me an article of law which is related to altering game file is illegal then I

In sro setting folder, files data can be change in 2 ways : editing in-game or out-game (using hex). So in this case, is altering setting game file considered as illegal?

altering any files is the same thing! It's against the rules, whoeve3r if its not that specific, ppl have been banned for it, and MD even said you would be, why try to risk it >.>.

Good luck trying to sue em for being banned if you get banned for altering the game files which your not supposed to do lol -.-.
