It's mostly an interesting point that mods need to answer inside an 8 hour window.... but somehow there are sometimes days between these forumposts.
They can't even follow their own rules.
The use of this script does fall within the game's rules. Overall,the rules on scripts hasn't changed - it has just been reworded. Most, if not all, scripts that were allowed before can still be used by players.Need OFFICIAL Devs to clarify
Is
Allowed. Simple Yes or No.

I have requested a change in the rules to something more descriptive ( e.g. Any scripts that provide unfair advantages are forbidden etc.). Whether or not this will happen, I do not know. I am not sure how different servers run, but to the best of my knowledge, the banned scripts should all be the same.Question though why does diffrent servers/countries (how u want to call it) have seperate rules about scripts we are allowed to use?
If inno now made new rules/wording. and say new All scripts are forbidden. wouldn't that just mean all scripts.
And then a mod says. it does not include that. ?? isn't that then mods making their own rules?
why bother making rules then. if our mods eventually are just saying if its allowed or not.
Also gets back to the points we are making this whole thread allready. the rules are 2 much grey area. and are mostly up for interpretation.
what makes ruling only oppinion based in stead of a clear ruling.
I have made a post in this thread already regarding that but to answer your question, providing a list will most likely not be possible but I am waiting on an answer on it. The reason for this is because The West does not own any of the scripts. The owner of the scripts can make changes to it, which yes can be positive but can also be negative. Such changes can affect/damage player accounts thus it is the player's responsibility whether or not they add the script to their account (provided that the script is allowed).How do we know which script are allowed?? I have asked support about the scripts I use. Can I get a list which is allowed and which are banned? Why are you destroyed the script that make the game easier to play?
Can you provide us with a legal list please???
excactly asdf124 I would had hoped, the mods could / would give me a reply
All scripts that are banned on .net are banned on all other servers. It might be that some players state that they are not on their home server, but this is usually false information.
Until I get further information on it, I'm afraid the answer still is '' providing a list will most likely not be possible but I am waiting on an answer ''. As previously mentioned, most if not all scripts that were previously allowed still are. If you have any doubts about specific scripts, please do send us a ticket or ask the question here.
@Al35ul We have a list here which has been maintained both in its current forum and in a previous thread for many years. Scripts aren't made for The West at a particularly fast rate, with it being such an old game, so maintaining it would be a very low effort job on the part of the team. Clarification in the rules and a link to that thread would be an easy fix.
The current one-liner is lazy, poorly worded and is only going to cause yourselves a headache. Your ticket volume will increase and you'll be advertising a rule that you won't have the mod numbers to enforce.
U mean scripts aren't allowed on their respective home servers?? or u mean ppl can't be from other servers like u mentioned here??????
He is saying that some players say "this script is allowed on my home server" but it is not allowed, and they're not telling the truth (maybe because they're misinformed).
If it is not allowed on .net, it is not allowed on .de, .fr, .tr etc.
I know this is the case.
But the way he answered it. Is as well written as the rules. and only make more questionmarks then answers.
Like we have shown for alot of posts allready.
And this topic is allready alive for more then 2 weeks and still no hotfix for the rules.
Scripts are not a property or a product of the game. These are external tools developed by external people. We, as InnoGames, don't have any control over the source code of those scripts, and hence we can't "clearly" allow their use in the game.
[...] as long as a script is not intended as an abuse of the game, going against the T&C of the game, I can confidently say that you won't receive a ban.
(So using scripts that were "allowed" until now shouldn't create any problem as long as the intent of the script remains the same).
I hope you understand that we can't allow something that is not in our "power".
