Someone who's rich, please just give like a big ol' chunk of your money to Gnawl, the chillest dude in the universe. Man is a god damn legend with what he has done already.

The botters I've seen are not going that extreme, never seen them using anything outside of just the normal stuff besides warping. I feel like the warping is what got them nailed so quickly since if you have timestamps and character names, proving this was hacking becomes easy and inexpensive...

God damn finally we get someone with expertise chime in on this. 2008 was right when EQ began to die iirc and when MQ2 started to become widespread. Seems likely this was the studios attempt to put it to bed. I was under the impression that the writers of MQ2 worked around this and then...

@Metalhead Ok anyone worth their salt isn't going to fall for that, especially folks who have been running MQ2 for ages. The Program itself isn't that complicated so it would obvious to everyone except people who had no idea what they are doing...so it's gonna catch the non problematic folks...

As a person who loves doing Epic quests, I've sold a handful of MQs. I know exactly how crazy some people are about buying stuff in video games at the drop of a hat. Legit play with middle eastern royalty at the moment, people got lots of money. Botters on the other hand don't pay for jack...

Hell, I would call my self an old school conspiracy theoricist but y'all are hitting flat earth levels of hilariousness. Seeing as how 95% of this forum seems to be hardcore trolls, I'm surprised youre not suspicious of this being a person pretending to be said EQ developer to ruin their name...

We've seen how much money Everquest makes when they presented to the new owners. The incomes from bots is completely negligible and that's if they are paying for it all....but these outfits are here to make profit themselves so it's highly unlikely they are even buying that much with actual...

Seems like the core issue might be the person who's supposed to be monitoring botting, cheating, etc at DPG is lazy as drunken ass monkey balls. Seen it's countless times in the software realm. Older companies that have an aging internal structure are riff with leeches that effectively...

The bots got banned. They are no longer online for the first time in a long long time. Some of those picks in Sirens Grotto were 13 days old to give you an idea. Found a good trick of getting around their player proximity detection and was able to record their bots on the worst offenses. Seems...
