ANY 3rd party is against rules.
Deep, no offense but if that were the case; wouldn't everyone be banned? Xfire interacts with the game and is a 3rd party program. When SRF says third party, they have the same mindset as Joymax: Bots, and SRO_Loader (because apparently it includes the: Multi-Client, No-D/c, No Swear Filter, comes with a bot, the list goes on).
I'll explain it in a different manner:
IE7 is a 3rd party program, although it may at times give players advantages such as: Rev6, and srostats, because it does not interact with the game in an adverse way, it will not get as much attention as the Others I listed Earlier. I hope that clarifies some things
Vent gives communication advantages, if you have vent you're more coordinated and its easier to lead on Vent.
IE7 gives you resources (advantages) at your finger tip, with the ability to pull up rev6 or sro stats, easing the log in and helping you cross-reference the stats/gear of other players. Some players computers aren't good enough to have IE and SRO open which may lead to some lag in the case of an attempt.
No-D/C is exactly what it says: you don't get d/c at the login screen after a failed attempt to log in, and this is a modified
client that gives players advantages over others who don't want to risk their computer.
Its not the effect of No-D/c client that makes admitting to using it ban-worthy; its what it may come with and how it works, through a modification of the Client.
The same applies to Pk2, the question is to what deg: what is cheating, and what isn't? I won't go anymore indepth.
They have an expemption for XFire. Even Joymax had a notice saying XFire was fine a long time ago.
Advantage for not getting bored so fast, when players without winamp, got bored very fast listening crappy and monotone music of Silkroad Online. Winamp users play longer, so they get more exp, sp and items. Winamp users are less nervous while logging in to server...relax music.
