wow. wtfz goin on here.

The concept of this whole ordeal is a community cheat.

The amusing part is the entire Project 1999 and EQEMU system is a cheat against EQ. Every player here is cheating Sony out of money by playing this game in this environment. So to see all of the users lashing out at people who use ShowEQ is another one of lifes laughable moments.

A bunch of thieves claiming they have honor themselves and lashing out at those who choose to augment the way they have fun in this environment is plain silly.

MQ2 is going too far and I can understand not wanting it to be used but myseq and showeq are just crutches. They don't do anything significant, just give the user of them a handicap to augment their playtime.

A bunch of bigotry in the crew of those who lash out at the people punished. Looking at aspects of mt computer without first telling me you were going to is an equal cheat against the players. None of any of this from any perspective is legitimate. To claim the high ground while standing right next to me makes you pathetic.

Had you warned the community you were about to turn on this sort of monitoring then people would have had a choice. Turn off the tools or stop playing. Instead a bullshit approach was chosen.

Fair justice.... Sure... Without honor, absolutely. Even less honor than the claimed cheaters since it is basically running showeq against my computer without telling me.

I have no idea if it's true but if it is... Kinda lame.

great troll

I am not certain about the article itself, I think the part about what can be done via "hooking into USER.DLL" is trumped up, at a minimum. However, I want to play and I don't care. If I discover issues I'll deal with it then, but so far, IMO, Rogean and crew have given me no reason to distrust them. It is possible that code was introduced that Rogean is not even aware of - perhaps there is an issue here, but if so, I trust him to ensure that it is corrected.

The post by "ShowEQ" is just hogwash.

All of this is just FUD promulgated by those with red hands, IMO.

omg rogean and uthgaard on our systemz watchin our pr0nz

In a round-a-bout sort of way, he is right. Cheaters had ShowEQ, now P99 devs have ShowPC. I don't know enough about security to know if they can truly see what has been touted, but it wouldn't surprise me. Hackers can access information with far less of a gateway than an actual file you willingly download and run for an extended amount of time, ie; anytime you're playing EQ.

It comes down to this. To catch the cheaters, this sort of invasion was necessary. Would you rather have this method and not have cheaters, or lose the invasion and know that cheaters are in game? I personally don't have any worries about the Devs themselves doing anything with the information, it's other people that may gain access to your computer via the same pathway I'd be concerned about.

The only people who should be concerned about the file are the people who have something to hide.

You honestly don't trust the people that have built this server from nothing and are providing it for free to you? I think that says something about you, not the people who run the server.

And hey, maybe that idea shows how ignorant and or foolish I am. Whatever.

whats up otto. all it takes is 1 bad day bro.
