Gave it a go, Must quit.

[Raindeth]

Back in the day, I played on Sullon Zek. Was a great time in the early expansions, so I thought I'd give Project 1999 a try. Before hitting eighth level, I've had no less than 10 players "pop" onto my location with a 3rd party hack program. This is why I quit in the first place. Not going to bother spending time grinding up to play with a bunch of cheaters. It's sad, really, but oh well. Enjoy yourselves.

You sound very confused. Could these "popping" players possibly have gated, teleported, translocated, zoned or logged in?

I've played on this server for over a year and never once seen evidence of a single 3rd-party hack. Some people manage to get some stuff (eg. boxing) past the GMs, and if you know more about IT than Rogean you might be able to pull off something like ShowEQ (though I wouldn't bet on it). But as far as client hacks go, the dev team has worked very hard to make them impossible (or at least they've made them require so more effort that they're not worth the trouble).

P.S. Sullon Zek was the only Zek server I ever played on. Good times.

I'm pretty sure this was meant for the red forums.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. That's not what that is, it's just a weird glitch that happens occasionally when someone enters a zone.

They aren't teleporting, they're in the middle of zoning and don't have control of their character. Sick jump to conclusions though.

Can I have your forum account? You only made it to level 8 or I would ask for that to.

This is a bug, not a hack. It actually works in your favor since you can con them to determine if they are a possible threat or not.

Part of what makes p99 so great is they do a fantastic job policing hacks that 3rd party software cheats are more or less unheard of here.

[Izmael]

He might be referring to the ghosting bug on r99. It only benefits him for /con and bind sight purposes.

[Doctor Jeff]

lmfao, this is not a hack, this is a bug caused by the anti-hacking system. The same system that breaks tracking players.

If you're going to ragequit after the first thing you don't understand, rather than trying to learn the mechanics of the server, I'm glad you're gone.


Edit:
This reminds me of a guy who came into the discord recently crying that his groups were always letting him die and not caring that he did.

Turned out he was pulling red mobs without conning them and wiping the whole group. Also turns out it happened once, not 6 times.
