As far as einstein, the software engineer's analysis of the code...

Thanks for the compliment, I like it. ... Einstein the Software Engineer's has a nice ring ... :lol:

I'm a systems engineer

Hats off to you, oh mighty one.

so lets look a little at the code analysis, and let's discuss the history of the project a bit. EQemu is rooted in a project called Freequest, and it began LONG before Ethernal quest. I don't have any issues with Zordon's work, I think he's done great given the box he put around the project, but other than the packet structures (which mostly come from showeq data), I highly doubt theres much in common between the 2 projects, and from what I've seen theres not.

Thank you for the information, as I have not followed this project since the beginning, have no clue where most of the origins started from (odd what you just mentioned is not posted in the about but again who really wants to know that much history of the game, right?)

We use linked lists so obviously we must be using their code?

Now where did I mention or hint to a linked list being code copied?
Seeing how we are both "Software engineers" or like to think we have that title, you would know a linked list is obsolete. If you need references to why, I direct you to my good friend, www.google.com and do some research. Assuming here so don't get all girly like on me, I assume you are not one of those developers who love to cling to a language and refuse to see anything better past what it is. (For the slow readers that don't understand what I'm pointing out, refer to our friend: the linked list).

Maybe you and SCO can get together and point fingers at us.

Point fingers? Feel threatened Trump? Sit down take a breather, you and I both know if Sony really wanted they would've shut down this project and all the others by now.

I've been working with dev access for 8 months, and I can tell you that I haven't seen anyone MENTION EthQ in the coder circle, much less look at any of their code.

Good to hear.

As far as the project taking a nose dive, the project nose dives because no one works on it, not because people dont USE it... 99.9% of the people leech onto the project and dont offer anything in return, not even a single post, so what loss is there if they stop using it?? We're not getting popularity points for people using it.

Yet again, PLEASE (cannot stress this enough) READ what I said. It would go into a nose dive not because people DO NOT WORK on it, but because of system related problems which would cause files to be corrupted, hard drives having to be formatted, etc and without the right "patched(older version of eqgame.exe)" client they can't sign on into the worlds. Learn to read? :lol:

The patcher was a bad idea IMHO in the 1st place, I knew that once it was there, people would use it EXACTLY the way we told them not too, then this whole situation would occur when the patcher finally died.

Agreed, one person can ruin it for others, but in this case more than one did.

And since you're such an expert on our code and EthQ's, I've noticed that you havent offered a single piece of code contribution to the project....

Hmm, granted I didn't give out my source code, which I'll explain in a moment, perhaps you should search my old posts? I did help with code for the locked doors granted it was not my original code but I did touch it up *GASP* like you guys did with a base code. Wow surprising.

And you're absolutely right, I wouldn't and wont give out any of my source. I asked countless times before for help with not so minor details in IRC and all I would get back is crappy attitude responses. Now tell me, after getting this vibe of "f off" from project leaders, why would anyone want to contribute code? And as far as I can tell my server ([LEGIT]Memories of Vex) had the most bug fixes on ALL of the servers. Laugh if you want but if you want proof, pop on Krushers and talk to the devs there. Two of them used to come onto my server while it was down. They complimented my work and even questioned why I was not recruited to become a dev for EQEmu as they were that impressed. Which is irrelevant but just pointing out how my word is real about my source seeing how you felt the need to poke at my "zero" contributions.

Thats really the 1st post thats annoyed me, because it's so blantently rooted in ignorance.

Seeing how you failed to read what I posted and look through my old posts, I understand your "blantently (it
