I was using your 100% safe compile, and only using it for track really. I got banned =( and it sucks. Any advice? ;)

After evaluating the 08/14 patch, I can say that if you have further interest in playing on Project 1999 you should be made aware of a few things:

* Your user name that is logged into Windows is being disclosed
* Your IP table, exposed
* Your paths to your running processes, exposed

If you're alright with that level of compromise on your system, or if the trade-off of your privacy is worth it, I suggest making a new account on your computer specifically to play on Project 1999 to remain safe from future nefarious behavior. I suggest you change your password on any site you've used your Windows login name, as there is no telling how the EQEmulator login server stores your passwords (I'd guess they're hashed) and there have been compromises in the past.

I've sent out a two different patched eqgame.dll to a few testers without banned accounts, to see if Project 1999 falls for false information being provided, only time will tell which action I'll end up taking in regards to defeating this protection method.

ShowEQ is still safe. MySEQ on the other hand, which uses the same injection methods as MacroQuest2 to gather client data is NOT safe.

To those of you that have sent me messages asking about the legality of this patch on Project 1999:

By loading any third party program in relation to Sony's client, you're violating the end user license agreement that you click "Agree" to every time you load EverQuest. If you are not playing on an official Sony EverQuest server, you're in a grey area. Even if you (as an individual) were to have some type of government clearance and challenge this software as leaking trade secrets, you had to install and run this program on a secured system to begin with. No password information was leaked and I'm sure the login server stores your passwords at least hashed, so it's not like Rogean could use your windows user name, and your login server password to brute force your E-Mail — unless you were completely oblivious to good password security policy. You would have to study case law in the country that you feel your rights have been violated to be certain, but here in the US unless you can provide evidence of loss or potential loss, you have no real case against Project 1999. I think your best course of action, is to submit the entire patch for analysis to all of the big anti-virus vendors, and get the signature flagged as malware for the behavior it exhibits.
 
You can change the everquest EULA xml file after the patcher so that when you hit decline, it'll still send you into the game...

I hear vpn's can be fun to do this to him with too ;)
 
I'm just curious, does P1999 have an anti cheat client required to run side by side with the server? I don't see how they could possibly get a list of running processes, much less your Windows login, if not. Your IP could obviously be retrieved but I fail to see how that's a big deal. You can easily use a VPN or program proxy (such as Proxifier) to hide your real IP address and it's not as though they can get any real personal information based on just your IP. I also don't see anywhere on the site that says it's required to run an anti cheat client in order to play.

They require you to use their own dsetup.dll. I am sure it contains all of their anti cheat functions. It's available for download on the main page in the eqchanges zip.
