This is a security announcement for anyone using unauthorized 3rd party scripts. We have recently had a few accounts compromised who were using the FSPlus script to automate Guild Conflicts and Bounty Hunting.
Not only is the use of unauthorized scripts like this easily logged and will get you banned, this particular script steals your password and sends it to a remote server.
Anyone who has been using unauthorized scripts such as this should remove them and change their password immediately. We have changed the ID of the password field to temporarily break the scripts ability to steal passwords, but such things are only temporary.
We are also banning the use of the previously authorized script Titan Stride and FS. LightWalk, effective immediately. As we feel it gives an unfair advantage to players using them.
The only allowed 3rd party script is Fallen Sword Helper (http://code.google.c...lenswordhelper/), however please note that just because we allow the use of the script does not mean we vouch for its safety. They are regularly changed and updated and we do not review it constantly.
You have a week to remove any unauthorized scripts from your computer before we begin to actively monitor their usage.
*UPDATE 01/16/2012*
It has come to our attention that updates have been released for FS Plus, it still steals passwords. We have reported it to Google Code and are awaiting the projects removal, no support will be given to those who lose accounts through attempts to use this tool.
*UPDATE 01/17/2012*
We are announcing an extension to the ban on scripts to a script called 'Kill All On World(Fallensword)' - This script allows you to kill creatures on a square, just by moving on to it. This is automation, and use of this script is against the rules. Please remove any script that automates hunting for you. Thank you.

First I would like to say Very nice to finally see hcs taking action on this issue.
Although I dont see how titan stride with the new map system gives players unfair advantage, but either way its not needed with the new map system, thanks again for the update.
Side note: Hoof can you give me an update on my ticket? Its been over a week now with nothing new on it, thanks!

To un-install:
Tools > Addons > Extensions and click Uninstall next to the Titan Stride
Yes, we will be monitoring use of the script, anyone found using it after the week is up will be breaking the rules.

Titan stride isn't automated titan hunting. :/ Anyway I will miss it. The map refreshing system was very useful for hunting titans and getting around FS in general. Other than that titanstride didn't do anything else except refresh the scout tower which can be done with normal mozilla add-ons as far as I know.
