I am not sure, but if i understand it correctly only if you use it for botting you get banned.
If you have the isxeve.dll loaded you get banned, that is an extension for ISBoxer or something like that.

Better write a petition and ask.

Hey guys, I've been asked to relay this statement.

We currently have no plans to change our current policy on this issue. We always take all feedback into account and will discuss this further internally.

bad thing about petitions it can vary from GM to GM

Anyway... SRS GÖÑ

I reckon you'd be more likely to hear something from Noisy Gamer than from CCP with respect to use of particular software earning you a ban.

After all, it's not like the guy running the ISBoxer + Something Else bot is going to say, "aww, I got banned for botting using Something Else" because they know full well they'd get no sympathy. So they point as ISBoxer which everyone else uses legitimately and say, "I got banned, and I was using ISBoxer", which is not technically a lie. They're still lying through omission though.

As much as I dislike keystroke broadcasters like ISBoxer, I'd suggest that if ISBoxer was earning people bans, we'd have heard a lot more noise about it by now.

Just be careful about using ISBoxer to advance faster than normal game play.

So they point as ISBoxer which everyone else uses legitimately and say, "I got banned, and I was using ISBoxer", which is not technically a lie. They're still lying through omission though.

As far as I'm concerned a lie of omission is as much "technically" a lie as any other.

this must be why we say "the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" in US courts after also leading with "truth".


never trust an american, they might be telling the truth, a half truth, or nothing of the truth.

Because nobody else lies, by omission or otherwise.

Something is fishy with this guy.

CCP Dev said there's no change of policy, thus nobody will get banned.
This guy comes up and spreads hearsay about CCP banning people from ISBoxer.
CCP will not have a Dev say 1 and act 2 just a few days later without notice.

I call Bullshit.

Probably is the same when they say "so now client cache scrapping is illegal? i was banned for it, need a clarification, so also using EvE-Central can get you banned now" and forget to say they were:

- scrapping cache to get market data in real time
- passing this data to an esternal software they wrote
- redirect the output on some other auto-keyrecording software
- using this to send command to EVE client and change market orders while AFK
- sell the isk on RMT sites

But the only thing they remember is the cache data scrapping. And pretend to assume that since CCP said is ok then means anything you do involving it becomes legal.

If you want to have that many accounts, then manage them like you are supposed to, and not be lazy about it.

Damn right, play the game fool.

This feels like rumour spreading.

Nothing CCP has said has indicated using ISBoxer to duplicate keystrokes to multiple clients is against the rules.

I will continue to use ISBoxer until such time as CCP says to stop.

Have they ever explicitly stated that it is within the rules and EULA?

Apparently CCP is no longer tolerating use of the multi-boxing software known as ISBoxer, or any other for that matter. I learned yesterday that accounts which were using it are being banned and was pretty concerned since I had just purchased the software about 2 weeks ago and rather enjoyed it. More disturbing was that I had to learn this from a friend...I had no idea that they had stopped allowing it at all since there were no notifications of this policy change that I know of. Anyways, I don't have a ton of accounts like some do, but even I will be shutting down at least one of them, possibly two. It just seems odd for a company that encourages multiboxing with Power of Two promotions to then outlaw the use of programs that make running these extra accounts so much less cumbersome.

CCP if you are going to have a policy change like this you should at least let people know with some kind of obvious warning, so that we don't get banned for using a program that was acceptable in the past!

Yes, they have said as long as you are at the keyboard controlling the clients, even if you are using program like synergy to broadcast to multiple computers, that this is not botting(and it isn't) and is not a banable offense. There was a guy who taped together a bunch of mice and keyboards to prove that he could just do that to control multiple clients at once, but that it is obviously quite silly not to use a program that does the same thing more effectively, and ccp agreed at the time and allowed synergy and isboxer etc.

You do REALIZE that your ASSAULT on MACROs Is an ASSAULT on FREEDOM, You are MURDERINGtheir GAMEPLAY style, do you want to KILL EVE?!?!?!?
