cant blame people for going back to the better login days.
i remember when you could just leave a book on top of your enter key and go afk until u got into the server. :S
and editing your media pk2 file is still editing something that joymax distributed as a whole.
same thing as editing client, even though it doesnt affect in-game. So as far as im concerned if no-dc isnt legit then pk2 isnt either, which actually makes some mods and a large portion of high authorities in this forums not legit.
You can't really say that PK2 editing has no effect in game. I guess it depends on the edit. If you can find a way to make Yarkan 100x his size, and zoom out 20x, you'll have an unfair advantage. Turn Tiger Girl into Roc so she's easier to find, unfair. I'm not sure you could argue that making the fire nuke look like the lightening nuke is unfair though.
However, I think it's probably better to just say that ALL modifications are not allowed and worth a ban, rather than try to justify the "legitness" of that modification.
It's not our software to modify.

It doesn't? So I could go in and make a boatload of changes to the .pk2 files, then log into the game and everything will look/perform exactly the same way as before I made the changes?
The .pk2 files are part of the client. The client is not just the .exe file (there are 3 or 4 .exe files actually). Silkroad is a client/server application. All of the SRO files on Joymax's servers are part of the "server" part, and all of the %installdirectory%\Silkroad\ files on our computers are part of the client.
