Runes of Magic US / AU

i was kinda ignoring that problem for now lol

As for replaying Mentors/CMs/GMs whisp, there is also a bit of problem. If they do not change message system (or maybe it simply works even now with "admin privileges"), so that every time admin wisp to me I will have huge window in the center of my screen, I can simply do not see this wisper even if I log out 5h later all the time actively playing the game. Simply I like to play without whisps pop-up, so I have another tab in my chat window just to my whisps and if I am let's say testing something new regarding to skills/DPS I usually stick with combat log tab and do not change it if not need to, so no whisp. Another problem... Log in on general tab stay like it. Get whisp by admin second later 3 event spam message - do not see whisp anymore... It can be ok, by definitely not in current chat menu, as I can even set it up to not see whisp at all - you said stupid I would say peace and harmony :p Well I can even play with ctrl+z (much better FPS and for solo without questing I usually do not need nothing else).

As for addons yes GF has clarified what is allowed and what is not, but back then there was not a rule, that makes it so that they have to allow each and every addon. So I suppose I will have to put my whole addon folder to zip archive, upload it somewhere and send support ticket, if it's fine, than w8 about 3 months for reply and play this time without addons?

I really hope that if GF is going to PM us in game that all of the following happen:

* We know EXACTLY who the GM's are on the forums and in-game. Like, there's a list somewhere.
* They identify themselves as GM/CM/Mentor before we get kicked for not responding.
* We can verify that they are indeed a Mentor/GM/CM easily without the use of forums (like, they can stop hiding and show themselves if we ask and see that they are in GM gear or are the GM class.
* They don't expect us to PM them and/or respond in the middle of a fight.

I don't respond to PM's typically. If I'm busy I might be AFK crafting or just idling. Alt-Tabbed while fighting sometimes happens too. Or I'm just fighting and can't exactly respond because I don't use DIYCE like everyone else.

Thanks.

I just have to LOL at the people here. The rules are good rules.

Programs- Addons using the game mechanics have always been allowed. Just to let you know... There has been rules in place saying 3rd party programs are not allowed, THIS IS NOT NEW!! It is just better worded now. That would mean that basic addon's that follow the GF rules are fine. That means that they can now say that a certain addon is NOT allowed and ban for using it if people keep using it, while leaving others in place. The rules before said that ALL addons were bannable. Now the can endorse addons in a case by case basis. That is all this rule is changing.

Messages from support staff: Again this is not a bad rule. You can bet the GMs/Mentors wont be bothering people using in game functions that are allowed to be used afk/etc. Like reading books, crafting. That would take up 90% of their day. Now if you are doing something afk that is NOT part of an in game function... yeah you better respond.. cause if you are afk doing something that is not supported by in game mechanics... you are botting, and deserve to be banned. As for when fighting.... They will probably wait till you have killed your mobs for an answer. They will understand you might not be able to type while tanking a boss. Any other worries about afk/fighting etc are unwarranted. If will take more employees to enforce rules if they are trying to shove a square peg in a round hole.


If you are confused about these rules here is the idea: Don't bot, cheat, hack, and use anything that lets you automate the game that is not a part of the game. Play fair, quit looking for loopholes, when you find one report it. Play honest. If you ever think to yourself "I hope they don't find out about this ____________, cause if they do they will fix it" then DONT DO IT.

Quit trying to make more of this than it is. Most of these rules are already in place today and are merely getting a rewording. Stop trying to weasel your way out of it. If these rules strike you in a negative way maybe you should look at what you are doing in game and re-evaluate.

Just thinking that some of the words that can get you in trouble/banned should include the Goldspammers websites, or maybe add then to the word filter so when they change their names there web address gets blipped out. This may cause them to sell a lot less mega's though.

I'm pretty sure those gold spammers don't buy diamonds with real $$ for megas. They're illegal the first place, so they'll probably just use the illegal method the whole way.

As much as I like some of the 'new' rules, my view, is that, (as others have also posted) when you log into the game you agree to the old (2008?) frogster TOS, none of these recently added gameforge rules/regulations (check my prior posts, I said the same thing a year or so ago) click through's are what you agree to, not what's posted on a forum. You (gameforge) NEED to update the TOS click through to reflect the change in ownership.
As it is, the click through means I agree to abide by the rules of Frogster, a company which currently has absolutely nothing to do with RoM where I play it, it does NOT state that I have to listen to a single word that Gameforge says.

As far as rules go, have you any idea when the last time I saw or had any indication that a GM or anyone who had even the slightest bit more authority than a player was on line? (Me neither, so long I forgot, but remember that I got biscuits!)
Any idea of how many "is there a GM on line?" posts I see that go unanswered? (1000s)
Do you know how often I have played for several hours while every post in world chat was either the f bomb, racist, sexist or "cheapest gold at www.whogives a crap.com"? (another 1000) Any idea how many reports I've made that took 3 months or more before I got a response that basically asked if I was sure I wanted to report that, or if it was still a valid concern? You know how many of those were answered ANOTHER 3 months later asking the same exact question?

The people you are making those rules for also know how seldom a GM is on line. They know how few people are willing to take time to make a report (should be an IN GAME process!), they know how long it takes for a report to be acted on, so the best you get from them is "Oh, yawn, new rules"

You don't need more rules, you need to
enforce the ones you have.
Update TOS
get GMs on line (even a random 1 minute a month would be 1000% improvement!)
faster, and REAL responses to reports.

well technically we do agree with a frogster tos,they have been taken over by gameforge so it is a tos that is binding.
we do have some hope of in game presence again if you look here....Questions to CM Mika post #44 right at the end
