6. Cheats and Cheating
RO2 was made for gamers by gamers. We hate cheaters and will not tolerate anyone cheating in RO2 or any RO2 Mods. It's a simple as that. If you are cheating in any way, including any attempt by you, either directly or indirectly, to circumvent or bypass any element of the RO2 or any RO2 servers to gain any advantage in multiplayer play of the RO2 or any RO2 Mods, you are in breach of this EULA. It is a breach of this EULA for you, whether directly or indirectly, to create, develop, copy, reproduce, distribute, or use of any software program or any modification to RO2 or any RO2 Mods ("Cheats") that enable a player to gain an advantage or otherwise exploit another player when playing against other players on a local area network, any other network, or on the Internet. Hacking into the executable of RO2 or any RO2 Mods or any other use of the RO2 or any RO2 Mods in connection with the creation, development, or use of any such unauthorized Cheats is prohibited under this EULA. Cheats include, but are not limited to, programs that allow players to see through walls or other level geometry (software or hardware "wall hacks"); programs that let players change their rate of speed outside the allowable limits of RO2 ("speed hacks"); programs that crash any other players, PC clients, or network servers; "aimbots" that automatically target other players or that automatically simulate any other player input to gain an advantage over other players; or any other program or modification that functions in a similar capacity or allows any prohibited conduct.
If we find you are a Cheater, we will revoke your CD key and ban you from the RO2 servers and tell your mom! Your license will automatically terminate, without notice, and you will have no right to play RO2 or any RO2 Mods against other players or make any other use of RO2. End of story.
