And just to make the ranging situation crystal clear to anyone else reading this: Macroing is and will stay against the game rules. There is only one situation in which players are allowed to use a macro, and only when all of the following conditions are met: You are ranging in one of the ranging arenas (Grubani Peninsula or Irsis); You use an autoclicker to fire the arrows (only); You are constantly monitoring your character (no "I'll just get a cup of coffee while the macro runs"). That means that you must be able to reply to any local chat, PMs or mod PMs with only a short delay (within seconds, a minute is too long already). And no, you won't miss a mod PM (if you are not AFK, of course)

While I didn't ban you, I did notice a few things: 1- jan, 6 to may, 13 isn't 5 months, it's just a tad over 4; 2- You haven't been "5 months w/o EL", or the character that contacted us in-game was an imposter (and could be locked for impersonation); 2- this is at least the second time the Brabador character was locked for "afk training at archer arena" (or, in short, macroing...)

Off-topic section?

Better read all the instructions for activating your forum account ...

Could you tell us which client and operating system (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, ...) you were using?

Perhaps you could tell us what client you are using? And if android, wich OS version. It might be a problem of a blocked port: you don't seem to have reached the server at all today. No signs of you trying to log in from a banned IP.

If you try to log in from a banned IP, you should see a red message telling you so.

Bug confirmed: switching to console mode switches the "Show Status Indicators..." toggle in option to on. The settings for the individual indicators (accessed by a right click on the indicators) are not affected afaik. As a workaround, switch off the individual indicators one by one. Do leave one indicator active, otherwise there's a longish text shown ("No Indicators"...).

Yes, and Kaddy never denied that... What Kaddy was referring to was the height above the character of the health/mana bar and points. Changing that height means the values aren't displayed where you expect them, so you can react too late And that means "-1 rosto" (reading what's written helps, sometimes)

You probably ran into an IP ban put in place against someone else. You have a dynamic IP (one that changes regularly, e.g. when you restart your router), which is why you could make a new char and play on it for a while. Only Aislinn and radu can do anything about such IP bans, so unfortunately you'll have to wait until one of them comes online.

Vino said something about a MySQL problem when I discussed an apparent bug in Mercator with him. Might be that the problem is there, as the web server also uses a (MySQL) database.

The bots are not affected so far, but Greypal's service can't contact that server either. Not sure that part is also using Apache, though.

Recipes, quest logs and some others (but not item lists) are already stored on a per-character basis, so that's fine. So you'd have to group your characters to share item lists and ini settings for now. In which case you are getting the unlimited chars in practice. (unless you really need more than 8 or so set-ups...), as the two approaches can be combined (server setups with char list per setup). Just make sure you don't get lost My question was mainly for players like me that have a server-setup based installation with only a few characters. I don't think the current change helps those players very much, if at all (as they already can have set up shortcuts to start the different characters). So for them no need to hurry getting the latest client installed/compiled.

Well, I'd rather keep the different server setups, if only to keep chat logs separate. Also, I want different screen sizes for for some characters, which implies separate el.ini files. So, my original question still stands unanswered

So, as I use different server setups for my different characters, this new client wouldn't be very useful for me?
