Bad thing is, there are 2 or 3 other CCs used in the billing section of this account all from different people. Think they are gonna bring that up if I use the step-son excuse? (besides "my mom was a slut and I had 4 step fathers within a 5 year span"...)

Hey all, I need some help with a transfer. I am trying to transfer 2 characters on an account I recently acquired. This new account is not mine(obviously) and has a long Credit Card billing history back to 2002. I have changed all the information I can change on the account to my own. I put in...

Now I'm no expert on hardware life expectancy, but this concern was echoed many times. According to the developers of ReadyBoost, the life expectancy of a flash drive doing this is supposedly measured in years. In my mind, paying 50bucks for flash even once ever 2 years is good enough for me...

Cool guide Ryzon. I have just hit 40 with my necromancer in about 3 or 4 hours. I've now light blued out most of the stuff I pull in Gunthak so I'm ready to pop into Dulak and finish out the 40s tonight. So far its been a lot of fun dinging every pull. Once the necro is done it will be time to...

Ok, after playing with it over the weekend I have now been able to run 5 accounts at once with no lag whatsoever. Here are the steps I took to improve performance. Vista Specific: 1) Turn off vista theme enhancements. Right click Computer in the start menu, select properties, you will see the...

When PLing a class that can't AE (Beastlord, for example), are there clickables or items that can substitute? Something that will emit a PBAE that will give the user credit for the damage? EDIT: I went to Allah's and did some quick searching, the only viable PBAE item is this: Blued...

I've been multi-boxing 2-3 accounts on my laptop for a while now. With the three accounts it runs very smoothly using normal windowed EQ and a number of graphic improvements turned on. However, there is serious performance degradation when I load up a 4th account. The computer specs are as...

How do you go about determining the purpose of the packet? I have seen people posting structures of packets with what each byte represents. How is this determined? Is it just brute force try until you figure it out type of thing? Thanks again for all the help.

Ok, I've taken a few days getting acquainted with the GUI for wireshark(which is the same as ethereal as it turns out "Sniff free or die!"). I've gotten a grasp of what it does, how to filter the packets to show what I really want to see. I've also found the packets exchange going between my EQ...

Sneak will turn your character "invisible." Its not the same as Camouflage or Invis spells however. Sneak allows mobs to detect you if you fall into their detection radius(IE, their line of sight). Sneak can fail as well, the message it gives you should be a pretty good clue as to whether you...

Thanks for the replies, I have a 65 bard with a 28 horn so my max DS twist is 60 pts. I do have a 70 enchanter and she can self DS about 30pts. I'm pling up a Beastlord as well right now and without AE its not as convenient. Still, cycling through nearest NPC meleeing is nearly as good. I'm...

How much DS do you need for the Gunthak/Dulak?

Hey folks, does anyone have a list of good DS pl locations? For those that may not know this technique DS Pling takes advantage of a feature of damage shields that does not assign a source to the damage from damage shields so it does not go toward the 50% hp damage requirement in order to get...

Thanks for the warning. This is why I ask because I'm not sure what I might get myself into. Packet sniffing is inobtrusive though so there isn't any problems with it but to generate the type of traffic I want to sniff could get me in a fair bit of trouble.

Although I'm still a newbie to these forums, I haven't seen a good guide on how to get started with packet sniffing. I have a modest grasp of programming but don't have much knowledge of network technology. Would anyone care to give a newbie who is willing to learn a push in the right direction...
