Something like P99 does can be done easily in any closed-source client modification. As this is more of an 'open-ended' mod that I'd like to eventually share with other programmers, this kind of thing is outside of the scope of what I am trying to do.

Short answer: Yes. There's no MQ2 for the client in question and no XML-based interface, so it'd be extremely hard for even someone like eqmule to put together anything of value MQ2-wise for this client. That's not to say it's not impossible to do a MySEQ style application, but it severely limits the capability of what you can do with the client.

Cheating in EverQuest beyond 'SEQ'-style applications are easily detected on the server, regardless of any client-side protections and will never be a concern.

Also, as the target project for this is TAKProject, which has GM-enforced rotations, cheating will never be a concern as you only get a personal advantage as opposed to a leg up on another guild.
