well where to start lol ahh closed source programs... well for one the official loginserver tracks every player on ever server down to the zone they are in why it does this i have no idea however i found the code and the opcodes in world and zone that accomplishes this so the official ls is doing precisly what you warned against.

Minilogin has been used for quite some time as a closed source program theres no telling what information that really sends i suppose i could look back in the old old ls code i found and find out but even still the point im getting at is that there are secrets even the people handling the official ls have kept reguarding its operation.

What possible purpose does it server for the loginserver to track that kind of player data i dunno.

Everytime i see a user using SoF ( btw i just compiled my server on linux using the latest svn source) I get a garbled mess of output that is just raw packet data being sent to the worldserver but it doenst understand the packet so it kinda has a coniption fit lol thats all i was sayin

Im only disabling it for now till the client functionality is more completed where world doesnt spazz like that lol

thing about My issue is this guy was hosting it supposedly in a professional datacenter he owned the company that was supposedly a reputable company that handled financial transactions and so on and so forth for major companies. All that made it easy to trust the guy. even still i can say had he not yanked my project out from under me the way he had, everything was secure i mean what are the odds that the guy runing the datacenter would be a completely immature tool anyway lol

anyway yeah lol its too early for me to think much clearer need coffee lmmfao

I really dont know what to say about all of this...

I personally tried to form some sort of relations with other server staff in hopes of working together on things to improve the community, such as sharing information on who was banned cross-server and why. The fact that staff from other servers, would come onto the public forum and slander people's EverQuest servers that are worked on and run free of charge shocks me.

For example Bane of Life. I personally notified you guys about the EQEMU password trojan that was embedded in the website the moment I was sent the information from the informant in Lucid Vision, in hopes that you would change all of your passwords to avoid the email account hijackings that our staff had to go through.

You state on your website that our server is hack infested, yet when I attempted to inform you that many of the registered users on your forum are ones that have been banned for using 3rd party software, you blow me off like you dont even care.

Hell, we even built a MQ hack detector and distribute it to openly.

as for our database, it is far from "generic" in my opinion. Not only am I told by players that come to play here ( many in hopes of a PvE duplicate some day ) that it is the most live-like experience they have gotten out of EqEmu, but some people have even wanted to purchase a copy of the database ( denied of course ). To me, that says something good.

In the end, the fact that you, as server devs, come onto a public forum and bash another server openly only proves to me the type of arrogant, immature community you plan to run.
