In an effort to maintain the security and integrity of the game experience, it is often necessary to take countermeasures against certain exploitative behavior.  We would like to take this opportunity to clarify our stance on macros or any other "auto" software or hardware.

First off, as expressed in the Terms of Use, any use of such software or hardware is a violation which may result in account action up to and including permanent account closure.
Terms of Use:
16. Use, develop or distribute "auto" software programs, "macro" software programs or other "cheat utility" software program or applications in violation of the applicable License Agreements.


The full text of the Terms of Use may be read here: http://www.ntreev.net/Account/termofuse.aspx

The official test for exploitative macros is "One keystroke per input"

This means that if you push a button, your software/hardware can only send one keystroke to the game client.  If you press a button and more than one keystroke is sent before your next input, that is exploitative and will subject your account to actions including permanent closure.  If you press a button and your action is repeated in game more than once, that is exploitative.  If you press a button and a sequence of commands are executed in game, that is exploitative.

It is important to distinguish the difference between an exploitative macro though and a useful game utility.  For example, many players have expressed familiarity with and use of "JoyToKey" software.  The main use of this program, which is legitimate, allows players to map single keystrokes to Joystick and/or Game Controller inputs, to enable play of Grand Chase with such a controller.  We want to encourage this. =)

We will continue to monitor the use of third-party hardware and software as it interacts with our game and take all appropriate actions to ensure that everyone has a safe and fair game experience.  Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
