Are character skin/model mods legal?

Recommended Posts

Hey all. I've found a mod that replaces the vanilla character models with the much nicer, updated versions from WoD.

I was just wondering, before I go and install it, if it's legal? I dunno if theres any sort of cheat/mod detection? Don't fancy getting banned.

A little elaboration -- Anything that modifies data files is bannable here. While the staff have officially claimed that the idea of updating models is not necessarily bannable, the idea here is that Warden, which is the automated ban detection system, will automatically ban you when it sees you are playing with modified data files. At that point, the ban looks no different than if you were hacking your data files, even if it was only changing your models to nicer versions.

The staff here have stated that you are free to attempt to change your models, but don't be surprised if you get banned. They have also stated if you get banned this way, there isn't much likelihood of you being unbanned. 

This is definitely a use at your own risk situation, and if you get banned for doing it (which is highly likely), I wouldn't suggest even trying to appeal.
