any and all infractions of the Joymax TOS on this forum should be bannable.

pk2 editing is clearly against the TOS. It ruins the game for us who love the suspense of waiting over a year to see the next level gears and what not.

As is any 3rd party software, bot, no dc or what ever.

But I dont make the rules here, nor do I want to enforce them.

It's clearly hipocritical on how some things are run here and there..

But other 3rd party programs such as softmod, no-dc clients, multi-clients etc.. often carry viruses or key loggers. These programs that seem to make the game more convenient to play, often are the cause of players getting hacked or scammed. I believe SRF simply wants to protect its users and possibly not support the bot creators who also make these programs.

Softmod is a bot. And you are supposed to scan files before you use them or have a good virus protection.

Editing files such as PK2 editing is against the ToS, and signing up for cSRO or kSRO can get you banned.. so I'm assuming joymax doesn't like that much either - yet you support it here?

last time i checked ryoko makes his own rules for his own forum
um pk2 edit has already been discuss use search button this forums isnt owned by joymaxx just a fan site of the game

playing csro and ksro gets u banned link please

Anyway.. third party programs, I don't see how using a noDc client is a bad thing.
You only have to launch the client once, instead of re-launching every time you get ''cannot connect due to server traffic''
lol.

Multiclient? I know that you can (or use to) use VMware and doing a lot of other things... and people didn't seem to have a problem with that
Then someone decided to make a program allowing you to launch two clients without going through all the hassle of VMware, and people freaked

its so commen sense it doesn't need explanation


r u actually asking this or seeking attention

Why?
