Is cross-faction speech against the rules?

#0 - Oct. 29, 2007, 6:24 a.m.

It drives me nuts every time it happens, and I see alliance on my server do it a lot more than horde, but I'm sure that I just never see the horde do it as I don't PvP often (fury warrior PvP? lmao...) anyways - I see it, and it bugs me b/c obviously blizzard has set things up the way they wanted to, but people obviously make macros to taunt the opposing faction. So, I ask... Is this illegal? Or against the rules? Just curious, if I could get a blue response that would be superb. However, anyone who is informed would be great (I could have sworn I read somewhere its against the rules, but thats why I"m asking, I can't find it)

The use of a program or addon to facilitate cross faction speech is certainly against our Terms of Use.

Some players have figured out a way to communicate small and usually nonsensical words and those are definitely reportable if someone is doing it. :)

Specifically the line is this:

Q u o t e:

Communicate directly with players who are playing characters aligned with the opposite faction (e.g. Horde communicating with Alliance or vice versa); or

Q u o t e:
the only way you can legitimately "speak" to the other faction, is by using the ingame Emote System.

any other way is not allowed.

Also very true. <3

Using a second account to communicate is not currently against our Terms of Use.

Q u o t e:
So if a bunch of guildmates are on Ventrillo and one of them logs in to his Horde account and we continue talking, are we all in violation of the ToS?

Third-party communicative conduits do not fall under our purview; this includes third-party voice chat and messenger programs.
