I wasn't all that opposed to macro'ing in AC. They changed the effectiveness of specializing in something months into the game. People had already spend months working on their characters, characters created to be effective under the current conditions. When they changed spec'ing many people weren't pleased. It was nice not to have to level a new character up through the first 30 levels or so. I didn't want to spend the time doing it, and macro'ing made it possible for me to enjoy the game months after I would have quit had the 'cheat' not been there.

Have any comments been made about if they are going to have a PVP Gangbang server like they did with AC1? Gotta love joining server with a new char only to be smacked by 5 or 6 people waiting at the spawn in points.... way to go!

gurgeh YEPP Best news to date. NO Combat macroing (CHEATING) in AC2. Every other MMOPRG has a rule to try to put a stop to such things and for such a long time AC1 has been the only game to not have any bans for such cheating. Ac2 FINALLY WOKE UP!! Now here's hoping that they will enforce it.

Here's the best change from AC 1:

"using artificial means to gain experience, wealth or items from creatures or any other sources besides yourself or other players will get you and all your characters immediately banned from the game with no warning.

The AC2 Beta Code of Conduct states that it is forbidden to allow your character to gain experience points or items from creatures or any other sources besides yourself or other players without your being at the keyboard, ready to respond to an Administrator on demand. (This activity is commonly called a Ã¢Â€Âœcombat macroÃ¢Â€Â.) "

There won't be NPCs ready and waiting to sell them supplies..Instead, we're allowing the players themselves a much greater role, running the economy, crafting and trading items, refurbishing workshops and rebuilding the towns.

Running the economy? I'm very curious to see how this turns out.
Crafting and trading might actually work out well. There'll be people who'll try to rip you off, but someone who makes stuff for cheap would spread by word of mouf quickly and become quite the popular seller.

The more I hear about this game the better it sounds.
