NO PIRACY ALLOWED!!!
And: no mods will run/function with pirated games!

WHY: Cause first of all - EA made sure of that their games won't run that way, and secondly cause we don't support piracy. We should be (and we are) thankful for having the possibility to mod EA's games. We do not thank them by supporting piracy!

I DO understand that many Players lack money to buy games AND that some games can't even be fouond in stores anymore, but we can't change either law or morale, so this is the way it it, k? Can I make it any more clear now???

I will warn anyone that post links to piracy!

[av8r]

Thank you for the post, Nazgul

And I would go one further and hope that Revora would block the IP of anyone who promotes, inquires or instructs about pirating games on here.

[Nazgûl]

The policy is to warn first, then ban. But I'm not Staff so we'll se. At least now, we don't have to nag about this within SEE Forums. We can just direct ppl here, while I warn them. Should they go on, then I'll have to report to Staff.

[elbenmensch]

It works....


Just joking ^^

Anyway ,be sure that there are always ways to bring a game or mod to run.You wont be able to change that,but of course we should not support that.Buyed games are moe fun!

[SovietSoldier]

i remember this guy named Dragosh Caracter,you remember him Nazgul,am I right?he made a topic on pirated games,and he made so many topics,all titled "Aaaaaaaaa"

[Nazgûl]

Yah I do remember him... He was the worst ever, when it comes to this subject.

Old wounds...

Good warning though, this game wouldn't run pirated anyway - its hard coded *shrug* glad I've got the real copy

[Garrison Nomad]

9 dollars in the bargain bin for a DVDROM that actually works, whereas if you pirate you get 100 gigs of porn and a game that won't stop crashing.
Go buy it!

[Lurtzy]

lol, ya, just part with the 9 bucks.

[Fishbone]

I feel a little sorry for some people that can't get the game in some stores. I think you should have written that it wroks with pirated but it will not be tolerated by anyone and no help will be given. Because it works, but I think we should not give any mercy or help to those that doesn't own a legall copy. I own legall copies of all my games but we should be a little more "honest" becuse it works with a pirated.

And yes I am fully aware that I can get in trouble by saying this, but we should not tell lies.

NO SUPPORT OF PIRACY, It works but we are not going friendly against those who do it




PLEASE DON'T BANN ME FOR THIS (I JUST TOLD THE TRUTH, AND I DIDN'T SAY HOW TO DO THIS) And I own all my games legally since it is easier to mod with legall games. Since pirated crashes all the time when modding .

what part of NOT condoning piracy do you not understand?

If you have internet access, which apparently you do, you can buy a copy online

And yea, if it was up to me, you're account would be gone, and that is MY opinion, not necessarily the view of Revora, 3rdAge or SEE owners.

And no, it wont run that way

Pirates gets about every game to work, why would BFME2 be any different?
We've even seen examples of people who ask for new cracks for the games cause the ones they have doesn't have the latest patch and what-not

Oh, and I sure am glad that av8r isn't up to him... In that case, there wouldn't have been many left on Revora All who owns legal copies of the games that knows the illegal ones works, would be gone... Bye bye 98% of Revora.. or less, I know pirates myself lock me up?

Lauri,

1. As a Staff member, I am surprised at your making personal comments about other members (namely me). I'd think you would know better. Talking "around" other users, esp. those on the Mod, is just poor form.

2. I seriously doubt that only 2% of the Revora members have legit copies. I think more highly of the other users than that, I guess

3. Of the members here now, I would rather have 2% that are honest be here than 98% that are not, and that inlcudes those working for me on staff. But maybe thats just me. Honest people are a dying breed I guess.

[Lauri]

3. You wouldn't find many pirates here that are honest I'm afraid.. for reasons obvious..

2. Well I do to

1. What, just because I'm staff means I have to be a freaking robot without personal comments? I'm Norwegian, I don't do that.. Sorry... And I don't know if you noticed, but I wasn't talking around you..

I'm just backing up fishbone, because he hasn't done anything to even get a warning But that's MY opinion, if Naz means he should be spanked I can't really stop him... But he hasn't done anything wrong... he says that he's got a legal copy of the game, and also that he knows the illegal works.. how? Maybe a friend of him has an illegal copy... that's not fishbone's fault, is it? Still you would like him to get banned, and that is why I reacted... Would probably not have been necessary, but you won't make friends when you say "I'd like to get you banned "

If you've haven't noticed already...

edit: and yes, I would like to drop this... I hate getting into discussions like these...

Oh, and Nazgûl... I have a link..

Of course you "wouldn't find any pirates here who are honest". That doesnt even make sense to me; someone who is stealing isn't honest by definition.

I didnt say I "would like to get you banned". I stated if it were up to me, he would be gone; in other words I would do it myself.

My mistake; I assumed being staff meant you represented the staff you were on, and that may mean witholding personal opinions. Maybe they make allowances for condoning illegal activity, I don't know as I am not staff here. But, maybe we can invite Ched or Hostile to the discussion? It would certainly clear the air.

Thanks for the reply.

I personally think atleast 50% of the users on the forum download ilegal content or have tried it, If it be music on limewire or a full game.

I own each of the games, Although i also created backups of them on my computer. I do this with most games to prevent damage to the discs, I dont class this as ilegal.. Even if others do. (This could be classed as using a crack file)

You can run modifications on ilegal/cracked versions of the game, It does work. It isnt supported here but it works.

[Nazgûl]

I said I would warn anyone that post links to piracy. I never said anything about talking about it. And I certainly never said I'd bann anyone for it, which I can't btw, since I'm only "Hosted" and MOderator in SEE Forums - not Admin or any kind of Staff for T3A

I suggest people calm down. And av8tr doesn't speak for me. His views are his alone, and not mine, so we're all clear on that. I do own pirated stuff myself, for a number of reasons that I'd be glad to debate and explain if I had the time or energy, but I don't. The reason for this topic is not to paint myself as a saint, cause I'm not. The reason for this topic is that I don't want to talk about piracy when it comes to THIS MOD, and thus the BFME2 game that is required to run this mod. Doing a mod AND supporting piracy around it wouldn't work. We have to pay our respects to EA for letting us mod their games, and that's the reason for all these rules. I do understand piracy in general, since a lot of things on the market is carrying WAY to hefty price tags, or are no longer on the market.

Please don't send any PMs about this. I'm have no time to debate. I just needed to make some things clear before you all go on arguing. Just let it go and be content with what I said. I'll warn ppl for linking to piracy - that's all. I can't take any action for ppl having different views on the morale around it, k?

[elbenmensch]

lol my first post in this thread already said that a pirated version works with see(i have a legal copy btw.),but at that time noone gave a f**k

Perhaps it does work with pirated games, but it's not our job to test so. We own the game and therefore test the game to make sure it works on the latest legit version. Pirates should bother for themselves, and it's Chris' right not to provide any support on how to get the game to work with an hacked copy.

What's more, know that pirating games harms us in a way.
The less profit the companies make, the less likely they are to work on extensions and provide support about their games (that includes SDK and all).
So don't pirate, buy your games!

[av8r]

Thanks Ched, Naz.

And thanks for recognizing Naz that yes, that was my view on it, which is why I stated such. And I know you know I didnt state I would ban 98% of Revora users (I doubt 98% of them would come on to this thread pimping piracy), so that's just to clarify in case my words being taken out of context got past you.

And I agree; if someone has pirated stuff, fine. I am not the pirate police. It ought to just be kept off the threads, I doubt Revora needs or wants anything like this. I don't think I am going to "lose friends" by supporting the MOD or Revoras integrity, not really a concern of mine.

Thanks guys
