That's not at all what it means. It means exactly what I said. Any hack that threatens the dissolve the playerbase and draw the full wrath of sony to our doorsteps is a hack that'd be better off nerfed. You don't read EQLive much do you? We see a thread like this pop up about twice weekly...

I've had both a server transfesr and a namechanges done several times each and it didn't reset my days played. I haven't swapped a character to a new account though ... so I can't speak for that. To a trained eye all you need is to examine their magelo or inspect them. In those cases where...

When you're wearing 2-3 loots from porthio, 2-3 loots from High priest, and have a CoA BP with less than 30 days played ... well then that's not a very difficult thing to spot at all. What's even funnier is when the idiot authenticates his magelo showing > 1000 aa's with less than a month...

Actually it's not hard at all. Progression mobs on my server in Sverag and Relic have been permanently dead for > 2 months. Monks are caught nightly trying to ghostkill feratha/chalaik and RSS royals. People are parading around guild lobby, PoKnowledge, and the arena with raid loot not even...

Thanks man. I haven't told them yet ... though if I did it would be anonymously through a fresh email adress bounced off an IP based out of Cambodia or somesuch. I'm hoping this patch will fix it, and I'm not saying this because I want to spoil anyone's fun. Hopefully they'll figure out a...

I'll :drink to that last comment ... ain't that the truth!

The aura would affect legit monks a lot, hence that's the least likely target for the nerf. The aa ... not so much. That's the relatively easy one. If you actually break down the numbers on how much dps it really adds ... the numbers are pretty low. It's as simple as thinking up some...

Well I just did some searches, here's some cutouts from the many threads. These all came from thesteeelwarrior.org ... if you really want to delve deeper into it feel free to visit the sony boards and check up on the direct dev quotes. As to your comments of 'my monk has massive strikethrough...

Which isn't nearly as bad, considering it takes 4 rangers > 10x longer to drop a mob and that said rangers also can't piggy the xp for the kills. Ghost has been around for a long time ... so why is it only recently that we've seen the explosion? Because now instead of climbing a tree to get to...

I'm glad you came around man :) /salute

Perhaps they knew how to fix it a while ago but instead of fixing it right away let it slide for another 2-3 week period so they could ban a massive slew of accounts. The problem isn't just that it was happening ... it was that it had happened. The more toons running around eq with GK'd loot...

It's actually quite simple ... and it doesn't involve immediate screwing around of the aa coding. Refund the aa's that flag a character for the line from all the monks that have purchased it ... then disable the ability to re-purchase the aa. They've done this many times in the past. You...

Ever try to monkbug with a monk without having Technique of the wu? It doesn't work, so yeah ... removing this one aa would destroy the ability of nodly to work. You give sony too much credit ... they'd have a hard time finding their own assholes if they didn't have to take a shit every day...

If you're just now getting started with it then you're playing chicken with a speeding mac-truck. Your chances of getting caught are insane right now. Read Ninjal's post ... Sony is only ramping things up and in his case they banned any account logged in from his IP (all 10 of his) as well as...

I'm sorry for your loss, but here's the deal: you hacked everquest on a big enough scale to draw attention to yourself. You deserved to be banned. Your friends willingly accepted loot that was hacked. They deserved to be banned. Sony was smart enough to ban all your accounts (as they should...
