heard my boy mornin runs that server

[still_MORNIN]

You people hating on LoZ makes me think you have retard brains. Funniest thing to me is most of yall treat VZTZ like something amazing when LoZ is twice as similar to vztz as red99.. Nothing to hate on LoZ for.. It is what it is.. Easier server where you can casually get good gear and lvls and jump right into PvP and if it dies in a month you didnt waste a lot of time. Quick fun. 99% of you morons have poured over 2 years into Red99 and every other week you complain about how terrible it is. Cant wait to see how much life you waste on red99 velious if the devs ever give it to you lol..

[Pitborn]

The people made VZTZ a lot of fun, not so much the rule set.

<3 the swedes.

[still_MORNIN]

^ dis tru

Level caps, A+++

so are they time based level caps or what?

we call dem mad bads

[dethbringre]

Yeah time based / Loot based. They are at lvl 30 now, prolly open level 40 pretty soon I think devnoob said he was waiting to see a few more manastones looted before opening 40. Aside from some messed up resists its really pretty well done. At least from what I've seen so far.

[Rust1d?]

Wsaint already admitted the server has no anti-hack detection, had been using mq liberally and even posted links to mq and showeq on the forum. Salty also posted screens of him using mq. Good server if you like hackers.

[Bardalicious]

Devnoob / Image admitted on their own forums that they weren't running anything but standard emu detection. Their argument being that "welp even p99 antihax isn't infallible".

So, yes. People like Salty go rah rah rah and post about that server religiously to lure the dumb/naive into a cat box he can freely poop in with his mq2 and 6 boxing. I guess everyone forgot what it was like playing these pvp boxes before P99 introduced the hax dll?

ROFLzek = run fraps or just deal with the cheating.

[Koota]

Have 2 level 30's. Shit is fucking boring. Hackers and 6 boxers everywhere.

[Koota]

And by everywhere I mean ... everywhere you can find any other level 30's. So scarce they need a real time map posted on the website to locate PvP.

Actually a p. cool feature..

[Koota]

Actually a p. cool feature..

Agreed, but it's the ONLY feature that makes the box even remotely enjoyable to play. Because you can find people to PvP. Aside from that? naw

[Rust1d?]

It is a 70 pop server divided by at least 2. So there you have 35 people playing. Assuming people are 3-6 boxing, I would say 20-25 people are actually playing.

I was in Defiant and we raided Lguk. We had 20 people. So we had 1/3-1/2 of the server just in Lguk. We only had like 7 unique IPs. We had a guy 3 boxing a cleric/chanter and main tanking.

No need to knock the box though.. its obviously for casual players who don't have time to invest 20 days played just to hit 60..

I prefer myself some Dark Souls 2 instead.. some goog PvP

Box is fine. I actually supported it and tried to get people playing. Hell, I GAVE them the idea for teams and I also posted Serena's team breakout (which they use). But the players, cheating and the way things are handled such as reporting cheaters, bind camping, griefing etc is out of control. Dev and Image rather run the box themselves without any help, they eventually play favorites (giving doomfist his own forum for that channel 9 news crap) for example, and basically treat you like a child when you disagree with them.

While I know some people are getting sick of seeing these rolfron posts I have to comment, so apologies for those who want these to just go away. We haven't made any GM's cause frankly we don't know who we can trust. It is so easy to abuse in the sense a GM could follow a player around and tell his buddies where the player is, we don't want that happening. You can claim we favor people over the others but I am pretty confident in myself in being rather unbiased in servers of late, it is hard to make decisions based on stories on both sides, we have to play cops pretty much and I know how much everyone loves cops.

I have asked for who was bind camped which started your whole spiral down, but I have yet to hear names. So called reporting of cheaters is unfounded, we take action on all reports, the problem is it is usually because the guy got killed by someone and wants vengeance.

We do have features for tracking and disabling certain features of MQ, one of which P99 doesn't have in a sense, the 'map hack' as most call it. Our server is setup in such a way that blocks out position updates (even their initial location) if you are zoning in when people are already there. So bardalicious it isn't like we shrug it off, we just don't believe the antihack is the best answer for us (Although I do have the code injection available, if you think the codebase is a trade secret you are wrong).

I don't know why you harp on Doomfist for having a place to post those 'news' articles or whatever you want to call them. It was devnoob's decision, but I don't see the harm in some fun just like Smedy makes some pretty good videos for P99 (which for his time and effort I think deserve some attention). I think everyone knows Doomfist at times is "FAIR AND BALANCED" FOX style, but its all in good fun. Plus its a forum lol.. seriously its not like he has moderation powers on it.


TLDR: This post was way too damn long.. will look into any bind camp/cheaters, typically reports are not valid, we take approaches to stop cheating as we can, it is not the same as P99. People hate us say we favor, we know it and we do our best to make it clear we are not biased. Doomfist has a 'forum' but no mod powers, this was just to get interest in the server not make him a news conglomerate.

Here is what happened...I logged on and saw Melyina going nuts over Merlin bind camping her. She said if he does not get banned, I am quitting. I cannot imagine someone freaking out as much as he/she was in guildchat to be making it up. Say YT that she got killed again and that was the end. Merlin claimed he was legit and that was all she wrote. So she/he reported Merlin, not me. I was just sticking up for a guildie.

As if letting passive MQ2 slide by is any better.

Code cave inside a proxy dll isn't something P99 came up with? WAT?!

So how's about you use it? I mean, you already had people downloading a custom eqgame.exe to break mq2 injection. I don't really understand why you don't take the next step.

Since Melinya is on the server right now (apparently didn't quit or someone else is playing on that character) I will try to talk to him/her about that. There were two deaths against Merlin and one prior by Ongo.

they detour the dll, I personally am against anti-cheat clients link punkbuster cause they can be circumvented anyway. The custom eqgame didn't break MQ2 injection, it was to allow team colors and subsequently I just moved some code around to make MQ2 'less functional' (it still worked but it made the eqgame.exe do some weird stuff). I am more inclined to code a program that modifies eqgame and makes people like you have to revert it all the time. But keep in mind how much junk we have to fix, the eqemu base is a nightmare. I wish I had all the time in the world but I don't lol.

So rather than implementing a solution that's more efficient than what you're currently using (nothing), which you claim to be able to code, you'd rather implement nothing and aspire to something more complex that you don't have time to work on? :confused:

And.. people like me? DATS RACIST.

Hacking deterrence isn't supposed to be end all / be all for everyone that wants to cheat at the game. It does however stop a very large majority of people from downloading and running MQ2 compiles that have been floating around for 10 years now without further assistance. Let's face it, you and I both know very well that it only takes 1 person tearing apart your work to open the floodgates for everyone else.

But if you've actually played on the servers here you'd know it works leaps and bounds over previous methods in the emu community to stop cheaters.

I should be clear, just because we have the detour code doesn't mean I can just slap it in and it will work. It requires additional code to make it a client anti-hack/cheat and as well as server side changes to do so, database part too, etc etc. By more complex if you are referring to patching the eqgame, not necessarily, that might actually take less time, just have to move around some functions and have a patcher that downloads the new eqgame for people. We still are considering both options and more recently given the problems one might come into play sooner or later, but frankly I get flanked by so many other problems with just the eqemu server it gets pushed aside (we are a team of 2, 1 coder 1 database guy). P99 is the ONLY server to have such a feature and I don't see other people going after them (yeah I know they aren't PVP, I get it).

I've said it before but unfortunately when you create a eqemu server you have to reinvent the wheel for everything. We don't have any real consolidation (most of us are far stray from github's source) I am usually talking to Rogean and other server devs in IRC chat about vulnerabilities whether it be crash exploits, cheating or performance/functionality issues. We don't shrug off the problem as if they aren't there, we just have lots of other priorities as well.

RoflZek Server is so good I am onl going to pay attention to roflZek forums from now on...

[dre]

Secrets already told and showed everyone how to bypass rogean antihax.

So all this crying is lulz

[Bardalicious]

And yet you get banned on a server with 25 active players and no detection for passive MQ2 usage. Embarrassing dawg. :o

[dre]

I'm not banned

[Sektor]

I'm not banned

you just couldn't handle red99

[dre]

you just couldn't handle red99

i (blarp) got banned on red99 because the staff is corrupt and mad.

You got you and your entire guild banned because you cheated hard.

Multiple accounts were harmed due to you disrespecting their accounts.

You are a bad player.
