This was post on Caster Realms but for those that dont go there often here the good part :
==================================
Hacks and Exploits
As any developer will tell you, we get into this industry because we enjoy games and we enjoy making them. That is why I dislike even having to mention hacks and exploits, but it is a reality that needs to be addressed.
As many of you know, we've spent a significant amount of time on our reporting systems to detect various hacks and exploits. The end result will provide a really positive impact. For example, without the reporting tools, we took action on over 1,000 accounts during the month of October. Although that number may seem high, the numbers generated by our reporting tools are considerably higher. These tools are currently limited to generating reports, but we are rapidly approaching a time where these will be used in a more robust manner. I won't go into detail, but I'd like to encourage anyone playing outside the natural boundaries of EverQuest to get back in those boundaries. Whatever advancement these exploits provide to individuals is not worth the damage that it does to the EverQuest community. Consider this fair warning.
List of things that we are planning to do in the near future or have already done as a result of the summit:
* Add a slash command that allows players to toggle displaying their helm
* Add a new filter option on the guild bank to narrow your search
* Add a 'guildbank' argument to the /outputfile command, allowing a player to dump the guild bank to disk
* Add the ability to withdraw items from the Guild Bank deposit area
* Allow cross zone raid invites
* Significant modifications to DoD loot
* Broader action against exploiters and hackers
I strongly believe that our role as developers is to provide an entertaining game, but also to support the thriving EverQuest community. The best way to accomplish both of these goals is to work closely together, so thanks to everyone who sent along comments and questions with the representatives on the boards.
