Maybe all of you morons who loaded it should have asked yourself,"if this was really something good why would they have to offer me free stuff to use it. Any tool bars you load run searches for data coonstantly slowing down your computer causeing lag and now the already lagging servers are even more lagging. Here i thought that berlinis hammer ws the most useless thing from evony and they go and top that with an even bigger peice of useless crap aahahahahahahaha. Hey 146 is still down from maintenance maybe evony should have put their efforts into fixing wots wrong instead of adding more problems. just sayen
    i doubt a multi million dollar company would waste time and break the law just to find out what you got on your computer

    You call me an idiot? learn to read. I didnt say they are trying to find out wots on your computer. Tool bars runs searchers colecting data . load it and look at your processes then tell me im wrong. Further more YES infact they do load a tracking cookie onto your computer and evony does have access to your hard drive read your tos cause your the idiot. When you registered for a server you gave them permission to look at wots on your hard drive they wouldnt be breaking the law. enjoy your popups and that crap toolbar bruning up your processor and slowing down your machine.

    Do what I did then, use firefox or IE to install the toolbars on, claim the goodies then go back to the browser you actually use.

    This still doesn't fix AGE II!!! FIX THE HONOR AND GEARING SYSTEMS. The honor/healing system is beyond ridiculous, and there are so many bugs and exploits I have reported that evony turns a blind eye to.

    For example:
    Reinforce a player who is suzed with a ton of troops, drop him or her from the alliance, then attack the city with 1 scout. That causes all the troops you reinforced the player with to fight in one "Super Wave" killing all of the suzes troops, this can be used in multiple variations to take out troops in a city. I reported this multiple times and evony just ignores me. Stop spending money on a game that is going no where until they make/release AGE III or fix current issues.

    This is to the comment by viorab, if you had read all there was to read about the toolbar, then you wouldn't have posted the comment. They not only wanted your server number so they could send the 'bonuses' to your city, but they were looking for ppl who have more than one acct on each server. Plus they do want to know what is on your hard drive. I had reinstalled the toolbar yesterday, and it was working really good until you open another tab for a different website. Then all I got was the hour glass. And that has nothing to do with conduit. It has to do with evony no matter what they say. So I got it completely out of my computer and will never install it again unless they change things to it.

    First off, nowhere in the ToS does it say they have access to your hard drives.

    There's a difference between seeing what you have on your hard drive and taking stuff/ putting stuff on there and seeing what kind of hard drive you have. Evony does the latter.

    Secondly, ALL toolbars are slow. Not just this one. Why do you think everyone claims Chrome is the fastest browser? Because it has no toolbars loaded in whereas a browser like IE is comprised of toolbar after toolbar after toolbar.

    @snake n da gra$$

    Just remove the tracking cookie by using Norton, McAfee, or any other virus protecting software if you hate it that much lol

    Evony most certainly does not "do the latter". They don't do the former either, at least not with the game client itself.

    Adobe Flash, and its' programming language, ActionScript, does not allow that level of access to the Operating System. It cannot query that information. What the Terms state is irrelevant. It is a technological impossiblity given the technology in use.

    Could it be done via JavaScript? Yes, but with a MAJOR gotcha of having to change the normal default JavaScript behavior of running scripts that are unsafe for IE, and with the ease of blocking that functionality by installing a product called NoScript for Firefox.

    The toolbar is an optional component. The Terms and Conditions have not been amended for the toolbar. They are copied from Blizzard Entertainment and modified only to the point of removing the references to Blizzard and inserting Evony / Regan Mercantile references, along with some other very minor word changes here and there. The documents though are in essence the same.

    Now, the toolbar *MIGHT* let them do some snooping. It is likely written in C++. That language would allow system calls and/or Operating System API queries that can collect data. World of Warcraft is principally a C++ game. There is a scripting portion for the game that uses a language called Lua, but the heavy-duty coding is in C++.

    C++ gives the system call / OS API querying capabilities, thus the Terms written for World of Warcraft are technologically possible, whereas ActionScript usage means those same terms are not technologically possible for Evony with the game client.
