The general rule of thumb is anything that touches a character sprite is *not* allowed to be edited. No alternate character sprites. This means no jRO sprites, no custom colors, no chibi sprites, no changes at all.

It's better if the community answers #2 as we seem to know more than WP

 

No delay is where you bypass cast animation so you can recast your skills faster than intended.

[nyyaan]

Hence, No delay gives great advantages to users. It's is commonly observed in WoE, where the demon slayers (not no-delay players) fight the demons (no delay players). Powerful demonic players are usually equipped with no delays and many other cheats, which make them formidable enemies to face.

I will remind him to check but to answer yes, grey world is strictly a bannable offence.

1.  Basically they sell X amount of Zeny for cash, we can't directly name them here but they are very obvious to spot. Also If anyone in game asked you to click on a URL to either vote up for ingame prizes/zeny then be warned this is a scam and/or a phishing attempt. In short, DO NOT buy Zeny.
    
2. No Delay involves messing up with certain files in the client or using third party applications to bypass the intended frames of an action. Doing so allows the user to spam things much faster than what they can.
    
3.  There is not and you shouldn't worry about this one, but if a user happens to buy dupe items then the GM staff will handle the situation accordingly. Usually by reversing the trade and deleting the bad item.

[Realbeast]

There are currently a TON of players in Transcendence server selling NPC gear at slotted prices, selling the miyabi doll pet feed which has the same sprite as strawberry and naming their vend as such. I have sent in 2 tickets, but there are so many more people doing that. Please take a stroll down pront and address this issue.. I'm sure a few players have already got tricked by these guys, including myself. Really killing the happiness in the game.

Yes, the staff are looking into the pet feed. I am hoping it get corrected this maintenance.

 

As for NPC item being vended, here's the thing;

• If the user is advertising NPC gears as slotted gears or and, 
• Vending them mixed (slotted/non slotted) in a single shop with an advertisement claiming to be slotted when they are not then that's not allowed.
  
  Tickets with detail of the shop and name of user will suffice getting them banned.

If you already sent tickets, and that user is still resuming the misbehavior PM me the ticket number.

Can you get camp to put it in the rule list? Some people didn't get the memo.

 

People "think" it's "cosmetic" and using that as an excuse.

The slotted gear issue is a little grey here, so if they label their shop "Muffler, Guard" and sell their NPC goods at slotted gear prices (no mix of slotted gears, because they had none in the first place).
Clearly their intent is malicious, but not breaking those 2 rules as you said, will they get away with it? 

Because if they can, I can foresee the gaming experience of many users being affected. Not to mention more players following this scam trend just to make a quick buck.
Could I suggest there be some form in the rules whereby "if deemed harmful to the community by the GMs" they could be punished.

if they don't advertise as the non shop version, it's ok. Buyers should always check properly what they are buying anyways.

Users can price their items as they like, and that the staff will not intervene when it comes to pricing. So if the user is pricing non slotted gear as slotted then yes it does look like a grey area but the staff will not be able to act on that. The issue is when they start mixing and have a clear "intent" to scam such as selling non slotted but advertising them as slotted.

So are the posted legal edits still supported?

 

Camp still hasn't put grey map is illegal.

Yes. 

Grey map/world is strictly prohibited as it has been mentioned by Campitor some time ago.

He will update the post when he can.

Is there any legal way to unlock the camera zoom and zoom out?

I really dislike the camera being strictly locked at the vision radius.

Zoom out edit should be fine but we cannot discuss that here.

As for a legal method.. I am afraid there isn't.

In terms of client changes, asking the staff as of last week there haven't been changes to sprite files. So if the edit was changed then probably it was due to something else, that's said we really can't provide technical support to client edits even if they are allowed. As for GM response, I will need to ask about that one.

if I was able to obtain the latest KRO 3rd job Sprites then replace the current 3rd job sprites in IRO with the ones I got would I get banned or does it count as cosmetic?

It is strictly not allowed to touch the sprite of characters and mobs, this can lead to account suspension.
