If you wanna work on a game check this out:

http://wishstar.pfak.org/pkmn/index.php

Its a pokemon mmorpg. They already have a year and a half of development under their belt and there looking for coders. I'll be joining the project once I finish my 2 c++ books.

My first game on GameBoy Color was pokemon-blue. It was a pretty good game for those times...

Maybe, But with the news on the .dll's that monitor your activity and can Potentially monitor every single window open on your computer, This is a sure good way of getting banned, Ill take a look at the rules to check it out though. And I know some people that were talking about this kinda stuff on irc a few months back

Well the program I have now, uses LUA Script Addon to extract the guild info into a savedvar.lua and then you run the program, convert the lua doc to an xml and it uploads.

that ok?

I was addicted to Warcraft for a long time

I wrote some basic mods and a lot of macros for it. I ended my subscription a little while ago to take a break from it, but I think the abilities they gave to modders are awesome.

You said you already wrote the mod to collect the data and store it in an xml, I'm not sure what else you need. I've thought about writing similar programs to keep stats for my guild, but never got to it. If you server program updates from the uploaded xml there is nothing to worry about because that information is already out of wow.

What makes Blizzard consider it a bot is when it creates actions, if you make a bot that simulates keypresses and controls your character, then yes, thats against the TOS and bannable. If you are just recording the information you recieve while playing (you playing, not a bot), then it is fine. Alakazham and Thottbot both do that and dont violate TOS.

I dont believe mods have the ability to log you into the server, this might be along the lines of botting and should be discussed with blizzard first. If you are already logged in it can collect any information automatically
