Policy When does MQ work on servers that transition into "relaxed truebox" servers, or removed entirely?

MQ is not supported on Truebox servers. A relaxed truebox server is still a truebox server.

If/When a server transitions to complete removal of truebox restrictions, MQ would then be supported.

This requires 2 things: 1. the server added to mq (which might not be the same day) and 2. the serverside flag *actually* saying that has fully removed. There have been times in the past where it wasn't, and mq would not be supported if the server was still reporting truebox and doing all the extra truebox checks.

Thanks to @brainiac for his awesomeness.


Other tools such as MySEQ and IonBC are available for truebox servers.

Relaxed Truebox schedule:

Tormax/Teek will go live Wednesday, May 22, 2024

DBG finally updated their oakwynd flag on 3/28/2025
* Date of support requires both: 1. The server added to MQ. and 2. dbg fully removing truebox flag
** information about "relaxed truebox" still doing full truebox detections made available 5/27/2025, the only thing they changed was "limit boxers" value from 1 to 3
*** MQ added support for these which will be active in the 3-11-2026 live patch build

Bumping this due to Teek/Tormax coming soon.

Will mq be usable after 5/21 on teek/tormax?!

Will DBG execute people with banhammers?

Relaxed truebox is still truebox.
This is important information.

MQ does not support "Truebox" servers - as unfortunate as it is, "Relaxed Truebox" still has all the server-side detection and protections, and actions in place - as such, since the server is still a "truebox" server, it will not be supported.

"But sic you/forums/!truebox/myfriend/mother/uncle/discord said"
- yep, unfortunately that newly uncovered information. That really sucks.
The only thing that dbg changed serverside is their "limit boxers" value from "1" to "3". which means all their other checks and anti-boxing measures are still in place. Thus, MQ isn't supported.

I'm deeply bummed that I/we all didn't already know that information somehow, ahead of time, but that is how it is. The "once the truebox flag is removed" part hasn't changed - I know that doesn't make anyone feel better, nor should it, but it just a reality.

Believe it or not, MQ is trying to protect all of us from those detections.


When does Teek/Tormax become non-truebox?
When The Buried Sea unlocks True Box is disabled.

yall. stop necroposting, offtopic, reposting, pming, dming, trying to be clever, "ask but not asking". "i know the other thread is locked so ima post elsewhere".

I don't know when Teek will go in the build - I've said "my guess is by or on next live update" - which we now know is march 11th. @brainiac updates when he is ready to update
