is it legal?.... just wanted to rename arial.ttf to Evesans_.ttf & change that font in the game folder.... some of the players said this is illigal & i could be banned if i do so. so here is the question to the dev team: IS IT LEGAL TO CHANGE THE FONT IN MY CLIENT?...

Legal, yes. It's very legal. What matters is what CCP thinks. They'll probably say "Not allowed" if you ask, but I doubt they really care. -==- Holy-Jim> as you know, surprise is the key to victory.....surprise! LooseCannoN> ahh! LooseCannoN> my plans have been foiled! |

If you mean "Legal" as in "CCP is gonna take me to court", then that's open to debate, but I doubt they'd bother.
If you mean "Legal" as in "CCP is gonna ban me", then yes, they will. Modification of the client in any way is expressly prohibited, even if it is something as simple as changing the font.
This is because as soon as you get into client modification, you open up the can of worms to do with gaining unfair advantage, etc. So the line is that you just don't open the can of worms at all.
Beware those beyond here, for they cannot see evil. |

Yes you will get banned, if CCP find out.
With a change like that they are not going to be able to notice unless you send them screen shots.

That is the main reason, why i posted here... i dont change the game engine/code or scripts... changing the font will not affect the game in any way... On the other hand, CCP can allow me to do it or not.... So i ask the official point... Many players here want to change their font after the last patches... many of them actually did it allready... but i dont want to be banned for such stupid thing as font... if it is ok, ill change it... if it is not... well... ill set to train some skill for 2 month & take a break awaiting the normal patch for current font... thats it...

Korvin no one's gonna ban you cause you didnt like the font in the last patch and modified it, but dont expect CCP to approve it as no company in their right mind will make open statements contradicting to their EULA.

I'd rather appreciate the abilty to customise font only, to allow vision impaired players the abilty to change fonts (a pet gripe of mine, as a designer)

Agree. I am finding the font to be a little too small for my eyes.

The problem is that could/would break the rest of the UI. CCP could in theory design a UI that could scale properly (like properly written HTML will) but its a lot of work just to help people with vision impairments.

...Which constitutes probably close to 30-35% of the people (? don't have exact numbers, I just based my assumptions on the people I know and work with). No game is worth f**ing up my eyes even more then they are.
