Lost my character's underpants (really)Follow

Or else Blizzard will use their magic powers to find our WoW accounts, and then more magic powers to find out who has something in their /Data/ folder?

Some news for the girls out there:

V1 and V2 of the nude male seems like the best ones IMHO, the ones on the large pics (full-male model) seem too blurred hair and remind me of a bad paint-job >.<

I agree... Blizzard seems to be taking opposite stances on this. Different representatives of the company have said different things. I mean, look at the way these patches work... they put a file into the Data directory, which the program decides to use and overwrite anything existing. It's rather obvious the program is designed to have texture patches. It's completely foolish for them to make a rule against it... it would be like building a door in a building, but not locking it, not even putting a "do not use" sign on it, but instead, simply telling anyone who asks "No, you can't use that door." So why the heck is the door there to begin with? It makes no sense.

Wow, rather impressive. You going to post links to any/all of those? It will double the amount of races with male nudity.

That pretty much makes all this illegal. Since Allakhazam doesn't like to host illegal stuff, I'm guessing this will end soon.

Or hoping...

Have a nice day.

That's just... plain weird.

Hehe, reading the terms of use just makes it seem more and more unreasonable.



So, in other words, if they decided to post a "list of approved Third-Party User Interfaces" on their website, it would suddenly become agains the terms of use to use anything else, including Allakhazam's Wowreader (if it wasn't on the list), and any of the other hundreds of ones out there that people use on a very regular basis. If you read the wording, they wouldn't even have to notify the players using them that such a list had been posted, they could just post it and then start banning anyone using anything else.

Oh, also, I read those other sections over again.



"Derivative works" would be an entirely different game. We're not even coming close. We're just adding files to the directory that already exists. A "derivative work" would be if someone decided to release a "World of Nudecraft" or something, and although I think I saw one person here doing that, no one else really talked to or supported him, and it's not what we're trying to do.



Again, this is not something we're doing here. I think that one person (I'd have to go back and check for his name, but he was the only one downloading files to add them to a seperate release) might have been hosting the game himself, but the rest of us just want the game to look a little different, but continue to be hosted by Blizzard. None of the rest of us are planning to "host, provide matchmaking services for, or intercept, emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by Blizzard Entertainment as part of World of Warcraft" and everything else listed there are simply "methods to do so."



This is the only part of the Terms of use you could make an argument about us violating. We are not doing (i), since our patches do not modify any files that are part of the installation, they simply add files into the directory. It could be argued that we are doing (ii), but it could also be argued that every single UI mod violates this. We are definately not doing (iii) or (iv), and I don't think I even need to go into further explination there. So all you really had to quote was C(ii), since that's the only section it could be argued we are violating.

Now, how about the part that says, "you may . . . use authorized Third Party User Interfaces as set forth in Section 13(f), below." Section 13(f) (the one I've quoted above) only seems to say what risks you take (". . . hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Blizzard Entertainment from all claims, damages, and other losses which may arise from your use of a Third Party User Interface.") in using them, as well as what limits they might set forth in the future ("At such time that Blizzard elects to post a list of approved Third-Party User Interfaces on its website, you agree that you will use only those Third-Party User Interfaces approved by Blizzard. . .") but not what the current definition of a "Third-Party User Interface" is. It doesn't define it anywhere else in the document that I can see. We already know what Third-Party means (that someone other than Blizzard created it) but what about User Interface? A quick Google search pulls up the following definition (from http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&start=0&oi=define&q=http://www.azatiko.com/glossary/u.php ) "A computer science term, interface is the point of communication between the computer and any other entity. User Interface, or UI, narrows that definition down to the communication between the computer and a human being."

Now, how do computers communicate with us? With visuals on the monitor and sound from the speakers. So isn't anything the computer shows us on the monitor considered part of UI? How are our mods any different from, say, Titan Panel? Or Cosmos? If anything, these mods give someone much more of an advantage than anything we're cooking up here. Blizzard always seems pretty bent on eliminating player advantages gained from outside sources, but no advantage is gained from our mods. If someone were to alter it so all of the opposing faction appeared to be 20 times larger than they are, yes, that would be a problem. But making other players appear nude? It's just silly to ban someone for that.

As if this thread couldn't get any more creepier and pathetic Sahn had to go bring it down to a whole new low.

You obviously missed the other thread where we were making a joke.

This thread is a joke, and I was in no way serious. These people can make new skins and stuff, but can't make there own forum/journal to post about it in.

Seriously, I'm tired of this clogging up the main page.

I think most people would rather just see it gone. It's long enough that people will eventually get it back on topic. If nothing else it would be nice to see it locked.

Dark,

can we make this a sticky.....IN HELL!
