Penal aspect:

Some of you may think that you can get in legal trouble for developing bots for what that post says, but there are no laws about "creating automatisms to perform an action for you in a browser game", so you wouldn't go to jail under any circumstances.

Economical aspect:

In seafight, you may purchase pearls, cannons, etc. These are intangible goods, and as so, no value can be asignated to them in case you get a lawsuit from BP with the excuse of " you are costing us money".

If you get contacted by Bigpoint for a reazon related to what I explained above, feel free to PM me for advise.

§ 263a STGB

What do you mean? BOTs are directly stated as forbidden under the T&C's. I'm guessing that if BP really is following up with legal action, they lead with a cease and desist order based on the developers using programs to manipulate the stated rules. Or something along those lines. I highly doubt anyone who has been contacted by BP about this could or would talk about what the process involves, and any decent attorney is going to tell them not to speak about it to anyone at all.

Ye Netherlands is just stupid.. WServer 2003 and W XP at all offices, and "Opstelten" doesn't want any upgrades, we even have a "Leak" site, which is just passing all your info trought SSL to the Haagland Police Office directly, and then they call it safe and trusted lol.

Also they have a bunch of cool tools to detect and filter keywords like this: Bom, Doden, Moord plegen.. I bet this topic is coming into it, I hope they check it becuz there are things they REALLY have to upgrade nowadays.

they do have a price on pearls you moron on the us server its 12 dollars for 30k pearls so therefor is a price for value
