Fellow buddies, We have been watching the needs of the community closely, and noticed many third-party developers wish to make money off their products and there is a high demand for those products within the community. However, until now this has been difficult: Developers must set up external web sites to handle sales and service of their offerings. These third-party websites, like Bossland GmbH's, are frequently DDoS'd. The websites must provide their own methods of payment. Each of the offerings must be protected to prevent theft and piracy. There is no authority in action that would protect users from malicious code. Each of these activities takes time away from improving the existing offerings or creating new ones. Such lost time interferes with generating revenue streams. Additionally our forum rules to protect end users had some difficult restrictions for third-party developers: A strict "no advertising" policy interferes with a developer's ability to advertise their wares. DLL, EXE, or compressed file containing such may not be distributed within the forums. Buddy Store solves all these problems. The Buddy Store not only makes available Bossland GmbH offerings, but it also offers the offerings of third-party developers. All Honorbuddy (will be extended to all buddy products) components are welcome—bots, combat routines, plugins, profiles, etc. Buddy Store is completely integrated to our auth system. You can log in to the store with your buddyauth.com (Buddy Portal) username. All purchases you do will be streamed automatically to buddy products that is logged in with Keys bond to your portal user. Every single product on the store is reviewed and approved by buddy team, so there is nothing to worry about malicious code.
