Sadly, Blizzard's team of UK lawyers has obtained a court order that prevents me working on any project that touches any game or other IP of Blizzard. This takes effect today. Over the past 10 years, I have enjoyed making combat routines and bots. Its been a privilege to have the support of...

Examples Lifetime purchased June 1 2016: will expire June 1 2018 Lifetime purchased June 1 2010: will expire tomorrow Lifetime purchased 20 January 2015: will expire in 3 days I hope these help clarify questions of when the Lifetime keys converted to 2 year keys expire.

We have decided to carry on with BuddyWing: The Old Robot. The reasons for this are that its losses are manageable and we know a lot of people really love it so it makes sense to leave it running. Thanks for all your support.

Update: Its been 3 months and Exilebuddy is about breaking even. My impression is that adding ExVault to the team has made things a lot better. Now we are just waiting for the Chinese launch. My guess is that we are happy to proceed as we are now for at least 12 months. Thanks to all for...

There is no time limit on when you can convert but it is limited to existing products because developing bots is very expensive. We have to pay salaries for months in advance of offering a bot for sale. When we do start selling a new bot, we are usually in dire need of cash.

We dont' have subscription working correctly yet so our plan is that you buy first month and that we have subscription working next month.

We will keep users posted about how the sales to costs thing is going. As I said in my first post, we will take the loss for the next three months before even thinking about the long term future.

You can take as long as you want. But you will need new keys for Exilebuddy.

Sorry - the reason we are doing this is that Exilebuddy needs sales now. Exchanging for monthly keys would defeat the object.

As we all know, Exilebuddy has not been able to cover its costs with one developer yet it needs two developers in order to make you, our customers, happy. The reaction to our decision to close the bot has been very clear and we are listening. Today we hired a second developer; its ExVault who...

Yes - if we can't sell lifetimes, its because the game has lost users and the farmers also move on. Call us the canary in the goldmine.

Millions? You think I sit here on a splendiferous yacht quaffing vintage champagne from ancient crystal goblets bought by my millions? You think replying to posts such as yours is the usual pastime for multi-millionaires? Get real.

This seems to have generated a lot of heat and little light. We are faced with a simple choice - stop Demonbuddy or add DRM. Its unfortunate the patch that allowed us to do this came at a time when we had staff on vacation and we regret that. We think its mostly fixed and hope you can bear...

The Warden monitor reports to us that there has been a change in the code Diablo 3 and Hearthstone uses to look for bots. Until we know what this means, no use of Demonbuddy or of Hearthbuddy will be possible.

Credit cards have been restored. We are still trying to get the payment provider to restore Paypal.
