[UO Herald News] Terms of Service Reminder

[Spaz Ferret]

Terms of Service Reminder
   

We would like to remind our players that the use of 3rd party programs violates our Terms of Service.
If you receive a warning for any infraction, it is because you were reported by a fellow player for breaking the ToS.
Warnings placed on an account will escalate to suspension if the account commits the same offense repeatedly.
The following third party programs are the only ones legal to run:

UO Assist
UO Auto-Map 
UO Calculator 
UO Curse Tool 
UO Journal Converter
UO Magic Tool
UO Spawn Map
UO Wedding

Happy Holidays,
The UO Team

Last time they posted this reminder they went on a hunt for speedhackers. They usually post this first so if people get banned they cant say " I never knew I was doing anything wrong ". Wonder what they are looking for now?! I suggest keeping things on the low down just incase

[_C2_]

Uo carto was stated as legal at one point.  Hrmm

[UOMaddog]

UO Cartographer was not OFFICIALLY stated as OK. It was simply one of the devs saying "Yea, we know the UOAM team kinda dropped the ball and someone made something better so we're just gonna look away and pretend it's 'official'".

Pardon my total newbness on this question but someone is posting about programs that "interact with the data stream".  Is this what our classic scripts do or is this more of a speeder issue?  As per the norm attempting to gather information from stratics has left more questions, sigh.

[NObama]

We do not interact with the data stream. 

[Canuker]

That is what I had thought, thanks.

I just want them to mention use of the army specifically in the UOHerald, then I can Quit the Game Happy

Easyuo and Openuo arent supposed to be. So you couldnt do this. On the other side it existed in past a lot of tools who were be able to interact with Datastream.

Soem of the above comments where a tad incorrect. Some commands inside of EasyUO do interact with the data stream but do not do anything that you can not do your self sitting behind the keyboard and mouse playing UO. But there are commands inside of UO that do interact with the UO servers.  They are replicating things that we do as players. If you goto  EasyO wiki some of the commands are mentioned and others have been mentioned over the years in the forums there also.

exevent commands interact with datastream... but dont do anything naughty. They just make moving stuff more stable and usable.

If you receive a warning for any infraction, it is because you were reported by a fellow player for breaking the ToS.

The above line is very interesting...

That's almost always been my personal belief. 99.9% of the time if you get busted it's because someone else paged on you. It's hard enough just to get a GM to show up anywhere let alot having GMs patroling and policing 15+ shards.

Of course, but i mean you cant simply inject your own in it or directly read the streams.

Since i played last time 2005 on Osi it was like this. I dunno why the Gamemasters on Osi so busy but i never saw a Gamemaster because they patrolled, they only camed from pages of other players.

this is precisely why  My Overseer was born

When ever I've done true AFK macroing I've been at reasonably safe locations like the middle of the ocean or, my personal favorite, some random location in the old T2A when no one is ever going to come.  I've been busted once ages ago when running a turn in but that was on at night and lost me a account on a first time so it's never been repeated.
