Guess what.

We parsed our logs in classic too.

"We parsed logs in classic."

vs.

"We read our logs in real-time and overlay that data into UI elements independent of the client to functionally replicate UI features the devs intentionally removed."

If you are too dumb to see the enormous distinction then it's no wonder you need to use cheat programs to play EverQuest.

Total bullshit. Prove it with screenshots and old forum posts if you can.

They would have posted links or screenshots when the first arguments popped up.

Come on man, we're all adults here. Don't be insulting ass. It's not going to magically make people agree with you.

I was one of those guys who had a really crappy log reader setup. Two computers, a shared directory, and my really shity attempt at programming something in Java Swing.

And I just remembered... I got some help from the guys at work and one of them started playing EverQuest as a result.

This sounds extremely classic

And a huge pain in the ass. Java Swing wasn't exactly awesome sauce, and they were three or four incompatible versions of java running around with different compilers having the ability to use different assets. It worked though.

Can anyone produce a classic screenshot of a log reader feeding real-time data into an overlay UI? Or a forum post from 1999-2000 referencing such? Post it if you got it, otherwise stop claiming such things are classic. Log parsing (which is definitely classic) is simply not in the same universe as real-time log reading software that renders data into a UI.

And for the record, I don't think that guy is dumb. I think he - along with many others - is being intentionally disingenuous about GINA because he doesn't want to give up the advantage it provides him.
