3rd party tool

  • Hi i just want to ask if the "zoom tool" is legal?? (well i msg some of the mods and they said its illegal) but still i saw some streamers/players that using this tool till now. please enlighten me:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

  • Yes, it's not allowed. The T&Cs are pretty clear on that.

    The user is prohibited, moreover, from running the online game on other programs apart from the internet browser or the supplied client program. This especially refers to bots or other tools that are designed to replace or augment the web interface. It is likewise prohibited to use scripts and programs that give the user an advantage over his co-players. This also includes auto-refresh functions and other integrated mechanisms of the internet browser to the extent these concern automated processes. Log-in is only permitted via the Gameforge Services and the third-party pages integrated by Gameforge (e.g. portals or social networks).


    Under no circumstances may the user


    a) create or use cheats, mods, hacks and/or software that alter the online game experience,


    b) use software that facilitates "data mining" or otherwise captures or collects information in connection with the online games,


    c) buy or sell virtual articles originating from the Gameforge Services from third parties in return for real means of payment, nor may he exchange these goods or attempt to negotiate any of the aforementioned transactions unless this is permissible in the individual case.

    A zooming tool does both. Actually all tools that assist or change something fall into that category.


    Other then that...

    The user is prohibited from manipulating the online game in any way. The user is not entitled, in particular, to employ any measures, mechanisms or software that could interfere with the functionality or the course of the game. The user is prohibited from any actions which could result in an unreasonable or excessive load on the technical capacities. The user is not permitted to block, overwrite or modify the content generated by Gameforge or to otherwise interfere with the online game.


    The players you mentioned live a "dangerous" life. That can easily end with a permanent ban.

  • if yes, why do i see people still using this tool. even streamers use this

    Because it's not a big deal.

    Just like the japanese voice pack. They both obviously violate the terms of service but Gameforge really should be lenient towards such harmless additions.

  • [...] but Gameforge really should be lenient towards such harmless additions.

    They are not or at least they were not in other games in the past. If they found out it was instant permanent ban, maybe a warning if you are lucky. This also isn't "harmless". The rights belong to the developer, if you want to do anything with it, they need to agree. That often cost money. In addition, can you really proof that it's harmless? Aside form technical issues, being able to see more in certain situations is a big advantage over others. In other words it's cheating.


    People are using is it because GF isn't actively hunting for them. That's all.
