Well from some more playing around the packets are kinda weird and from what i've noticed you can have the following.

You have some packets that are encrypted and some that are not it depends on what is in the packet. Packets can also contain plain text and encrypted data. I have also noticed in a packet you can have the acknowledgment at the start of a packet and at the end of a packet.

Regardless been trying to figure out how they are handling the encryption but been unsuccessful since encryption is not my strong suit. So if anyone wants to take a crack at it be my guest.
Going to be posting up all my finding/playing here and how to bypass the launcher and just use vgclient.exe to run the game later on. I also have the breakdown of the Hex -> Ascii map they use for chat packets posted up.

I think it is encrypted unless it contains your credit card information, then it is stored plain text

LOL for instance here is a chat packet.

5b            //seq
80 55 80 56        //ack 
00 06 
80 01 
84 8b 09 
00 00 
00 3a 80 32 00 36 00 36 //tell
00 10 //space
00 11 //"
00 2c 80 30 00 36 80 34 80 39 80 39 00 3c //Xalissx
00 11 //"
00 10 //space
00 24 80 32 00 36 00 36 80 37 //Hello
00 00 80

Which is pretty straight forward same with character creation packets.

I would really like to look into this, but it tells me "You are not authorised to read this forum".
Is there a wait period after registration before viewing certain forums?

[xinu]

Nope just tried it on my normal account and got there just fine make sure your logged in and try going to the main forum link MMOEmulators . I'm going to have that section of the forum changed to at least be view-able to guests tonight.

Thank you.

This is a hell of a bump but just wanted to give a update on the progress of the EMU so far. Since SoE decided it was going to close down Vanguard we decided to give it a go and we are making decent progress. We currently have a nice group of collectors running around packet collecting for us but we could use some more if anyone is interested.

Here is a video a made a week and half ago where we were hard coding spawns and randomly spawning 5 mobs whenever you logged in.

Now we have it loading from our Database and i got the UI loading today on it's own. I plan on doing another video hopefully tomorrow of a spawned zone.

And here is a updated video of spawns loaded from our database instead of being hard coded.

This is being able to see other players ingame. (still a little buggy)
