Hmm this is interesting, first off all LE you still didn't answer my closing question, it was a simple one that really had almost nothing to do with the login source, and that one is why is my password sent in plain text to your login server. I don't see any data encryption in any packets being sent to the login server. other than that atleast you gave me a relativley simple answer which was Shut the fuck up we don't want to deal with it, which is fine.
Mongrel i hope you didn't mean to tell more than you wanted to.

Wait wait wait, EQLive? no on ever said Anything about the crypto in login, having anything to do with the crypto in eqemulator. So mongerl are you trying to tell me that encryption algorithiums used in the eqemu are the exact same ones used on eqlive?! Well ofcourse they are, they would have to be, hmm thats interesting... I would like to hear a dev just come out and say it, is it that difficult? I mean after all there reallllly isn't much to hide, you are already doing somthing against the rules, so why is it so hard to tell the truth?
Write a little sniffer hmm? Sniffers usually Collect Packets right? Like a PacketCollector? Before anyone quotes me or you jump ahead of yourself there, i never accused anyone of anything, nor would i ever. I am simply pointing out a fact of what mongrel is saying could be taken the wrong way.
Don't get me wrong LE, I know releasing the algorithiums could be a big mistake, the fact remains you have never, up to this point simply come out and say it. And that i do not understand.

Another reason for not releasing the login server is make sure that all EQEMu servers are centralized somewhere. If you think of that as "control" then you should really do something about your Big Brother paranoia

Ok mongrel think about what your saying here. When somthing in centralized, that means there has to be someone or somthing that 'controls' it. Believe me mongrel lol I don't have this strange paranoia that is telling me (( Someone Is Watching You )) (( The devs read everything you say!! )) (( Shit! That means they know about the cybering i was doing!)) No i really don't care what the devs do with the information that is sent over their server, if they enjoy my cyber, then all the better, now 3 people get to enjoy it. Its the fact that the info MUST go through them, that makes me question it all. If the algorithiums are going to be y our only defence then that probably means somthing bad would go down if you released them. So what woudl go down LE? Would you get in big trouble? You can answer me in one word answers if you want, as could dooman.
I am not paranoid, i am jewish, if someone wants to centralize my work i want to know why, if i should have access to somthing that i 'legally' should, but do not, i want to know why.
You can say its not under the GPL all you want, the fact remains it is a module of the main project, and should follow the rules. Just tell us why you aren't following the rules, tell us that the information could be used to malevolent ends, But don't just sit there and say, We don't want to, end of topic. becuase it doesn't work that way myfriend, as it was once put.

Hmm. Right now you haven't told me or any of the other public why you can't or won't release it. Right now it just looks as if your a mean little kid trying to keep the worm squished between his fingers becuase he can.
