Ok...finally got the GM wacking stick. It says my account is suspened and I should contact customer service for more info. Does that mean just suspended or could that mean banned. Never had anything like this done to my accounts before.

At that point, I would do a virus scan on your computer and try and find a virus...or if you don't have a virus scanner, go google "Keylogger" and then use the program name as something that you found on your computer when you're stating your case to CS. I don't recommmend this to someone who DID use MQ2, but rather as someone who is a legit user for EQ.Mikiky said:Not contacting CS is all well and good if you use it to play with MQ2, but what if someone else has hacked into your account and used it to hack stuff, gotten your account suspended and when you try to log in, it says suspended? (BTW.. this happened to a friend that doesn't use any hacks or cheats... he had 2 accounts and 1 was hacked... maybe he should call CS and tell them to check the logs of his main account? Why would he 2 box and hack with one and not the other?)
Any suggestions?

I always do. I'm more conscious and concerned with players than GMs any day.Ferny50 said:Well, imho, you should be looking over your shoulder at all times, not because of GMs, but rather, other players....
...That said, I wouldn't get it in your head that someone (big brother) is out to get you as that wouldn't make for a very good gaming experience; however, as always, use but use intelligently and discretely.

Funny thing is the same person was in the zone during the captian dieing and porting a group around in nc.....
Threefeet said:Of course as I have said before I don't use MQ so don't have the same concerns. However, if I did I would just have someone else do the reporting.
The IP address thing; Not everyone has the same IP address everytime they log in, dialup users won't and some dsl users may have different IP addresses dependant upon several factors.
My point is if the history of your account always shows the same IP address, and you claim someone else used it...they would know you were lying. If you use dialup or are assigned a different IP by a router or dsl or something occassinally, there is no way of them knowing if those different IPs are you or not.

Depends on the subnet class.Stoic said:Right, unless you are running a web server your IP address will cycle every so often.. but, IP addresses in the same service area will always have certain distinguishable numbers.
For example, in the IP 111.111.111.111 , the underlined numbers represent the adress of the WAN subnetwork, and the bold numbers represent individual PC's or LANS external IP.
So even when your IP cycles, it would cycle to 111.111.222.222, because your subnetwork address is dedicated, and doesn't change.
So unless the person who hacked your accound lives in the same neighborhood/city as you, a GM should be able to clearly distinguish who was logged on from where and when.
IamBigDaddy said:I have never used a monk so maybe they have a skill I don't know about. But tracking only tells me distance and direction. And from my experience tracking is not an exact science, sometimes the tracking info is not real time so it might appear a mob/npc is popping around a little.
Does this person know you? They must know you are standing beside the mob they are killing! If someone was Ghostkilling a mob I was standing by I would be tempted to turn them in for being stupid!!! People like that draw attention to all aspects of MQ.
From my experience with Superkill/Ghostkill if you are standing near the mob being killed you will see the attacking toon popping in and out (I have see this happen).
Since you were standing near the corpse why didn't you get the "SoAndSo" has looted text message that would tell you who loote the corpse.

LOL I never expected to be defending myself for not using mq:P
I didn't "track" anything. My monk was in front of the fabled captian with the captian targeted. My other three were fighting thier way down to that area when the hp bar started dropping on the captian. He didn't aggro, didn't get a message of him attacking or anything that I saw. (Might have because as I said I was fighting down with the other three and could have missed it) He just stood there while his hps dropped.
I did not see anyone ghosting in and out. I did a /enter and recieved 6 names in the zone list. Four were my characters leaving two others. I also did not see a "SoandSo" looted message. The corpse just poofed.
Maybe one day I will load up mq2...I have alot of other things that are higher on my priority list than figuring out how to do compiles and other items needed to do it. Yes I am a programming illiterate. But it doesn't mean I can't understand (with a little help/research) what is going on in front of me. Not understanding what happened and my research to find out what happened lead me here.

Key word highlighted.TurkReno said:Article 1388 outlines that if someone is duping or if you've found an exploit that if you do not abuse it that you have the chance to turn it and the exploit in without any reprocussion.
