Seipher Caim's Saga

keep in mind that I'm not a game admin or anything similar.

I believe that as long as you manually navigate to the page with a browser, you can do whatever you want with the data displayed.

What you aren't allowed to do is have any kind of a program or script that automatically loads pages.

Well that's precisely my question Thanks

Currently I navigate, load pages and copy then individually in order to get data (and well, it works pretty well) and I wanted to make a step further and gather more information.

You point well the fact that it is a double question :

1- Am I allowed to load pages automatically through a client-side software ?

2- If so, do you have prefered softwares for doing this ?

Thanks Baldr !

If you saved the pages off the server to somewhere else, you could then process them as you like without any TOS problems. If you have some kind of software that does that, then by all means go ahead. However you will still have to manually go to each of these pages and save them again every time you want to update the stats.

Anything that would automatically load pages for you is not allowed.

I'm not sure why you didn't create a topic for this or ask us directly. A blog entry isn't exactly the best place to ask this sort of question.

1- Am I allowed to load pages automatically through a client-side software ?

No.

You can manually go to any page, and once you've done that, you can do whatever you want with the data.

But you can't use software that automatically loads the page.

If that were allowed, almost every alliance would have bots crawling the CN pages. That adds a lot of server load, and it isn't allowed.
