Shiamorah 20 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 I would definitely get this cleared with staff before use. It could be argued that this is a function that exploits the way the game is meant to be played. The easiest way to explain this is why there aren't any addons like this already? The game has the inability for cross faction chat for good reason. I would 100% get this checked off by staff before assuming it is safe for use. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to do this, but after looking through the terms and services of Elysium i found it never said we couldn't do stuff like this. Seeing as a form of this existed in vanilla that also helped, although i still wasn't convinced but then i realized, we already have a cross faction chat.. discord. This is what convinced me, for now i am going to only use this as a third language if the devs want this not to be a thing they can reply to this an i will take it down.

shirsig 18 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 Interesting. I have been wondering if one-sided translation is possible. Have found surprisingly little information with google but I'm guessing it isn't (assume some sort of hashing and or randomization is used)? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is against the TOS, can you cite the section? Also i don't think this ruins the game but adds a third language just for fun! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imo it is still interesting to have a third language! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, previous experience shows us that you can get banned even if this particular thing isn't explicit mentioned in the ToS. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chikipuki 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 Thee were addons that did this before on retail and they were prohibited. You can easily find it's prohibited in TOU agreement. Since this was prohibited by Blizzard, i can't see why it should be alowed here. Цитата B. Rules Related to "Chat" and Interaction With Other Users. Communicating in-game with other Users and Blizzard representatives, whether by text, voice or any other method, is an integral part of the Game and the Service and is referred to here as "Chat." When engaging in Chat, you may not: . . (viii) Communicate directly with players who are playing characters aligned with the opposite faction (e.g. Horde communicating with Alliance or vice versa); 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
