Buy mediocre toon for $100. MAX AA's in 1 hour. Sell newly buff toon for $300 (or more).

Don't tell me they only nerfed Bone Chips and Small Pieces of Velium rather than the root problem?

If you zone in AND back out while someone is in the process of zoning in, they'll see you where you were and in /who until they leave the zone (or succor or whatever). If you zone BACK IN, they'll see two of you. Found this out in Karnors doing the task macros way back when.

For one of my toons, I had to actually buy the Origin AA to find out which zone the server thought was my hometown. As a Half-Elf Rogue, I started in Freeport, but once I bought Origin, it took me to Kelethin. Sure enough, the Adventurer guy in Kelethin got him pre-flagged so that he could...

Friday morning at 5 a.m. (PDT), 2006/06/16. 5 hour patch.

First Stab at Move Packet... 40 bytes long now. SpawnID, Timestamp, X, Y, Z, are probably right. Don't have time tonight to figure out the rest... typedef struct _MOVEPKT { /*0000*/ unsigned short SpawnID; /*0002*/ unsigned short TimeStamp; /*0004*/ int Heading:16; /*0006*/ int...

I think (but cannot prove) that they put additional monitoring in for DoDH and later item transfers. Back when people first started getting dinged for shared bank transfers there seemed to be a pattern that those that had only moved older items had a better chance of getting away with it. Just...

Has anyone been saving this years? I used to save them, but stopped at the end of the last year. Naturally, I'm now trying to find something that I know where in the code it was in February, but I lost my notes on finding it during my recent move.

While this works as posted for /zone <adjacent zone>, Tone is of course correct that the move packet and the opcodes need to be updated for full functionality. For zoning using NPC's (i.e. Magus), you'll need to update: #define PKT_UPDATE_POSITION = 0x7B59 #define PKT_CHANNEL_MESSAGE = 0x37E3...

Banning for turning an item in to a mob? Unless you blatantly warped to it while he was watching, I'd think the worst you'd get would be a suspension. Even then, likely a suspension at worst. Might get it knocked down to a warning with the proper suck-upage. (I have to admit I warped as...

Wish you hadn't used the words "Plat Dupe" in the subject. Those two words in the subject bring too much attention to it imho. Its conceivable that this might not get fixed for the next patch, but having a (valid) posting like that raises the likelyhood of a quicker nerf (yeah.. yeah.., I know...

Even Guides can enter an instanced zone. When GoD was new, we were dragging a dead party member for a bit in a Tipt run and the zone geometry let his corpse fall through the world where we couldn't recover it. Surprisingly enough a Guide responded to the petition and came and got it for us (I...

Odessa, I for one, certainly appreciated your contributions. MQ2Switch and MQ2Task are my most frequently used plugins apart from Warp. If you're no longer publicly updating them, well, let me say thanks for the time they were available.

The warp when feared/charmed fix might be significant. That's one of the things that made it hard to automatically tell an exploiting warper from a normal schmoe player I'm sure. Their infamous 'tools' for detecting warping and such might actually provide them meaningful data now. Probalby...
