I have no problem w/showing developers what im runing while running eq program wise... but really the above is making me somewhat concerned at the full intentions behind this.

I believe the idea is that the file itself is not malicious, it's intent is solely to find out which players are using 3rd party programs. However as a side effect it can possibly lead to other security issues, via unforeseen bugs or other eyes that may spy upon the information gathered.

I'm no lawyer, but I'd imagine if SOE or another company's software had issues they can be held responsible for any security breaches. This however isn't a large corporation.

i would be banned for sure if this were true, because our network is very nonstandard. i think a lot of this is trumped up, if you're that worried step up security on your end and stop crying.

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.

Shut the fuck up, retard.

I think it's coming, soon.

As much as I loved the project it's gone downhill overall, IMO.

This latest limpwristed lack of iron fist bans, disgusts me.

So let me get this straight. This .dll file that WE ALL HAVE DOWNLOADED IN ORDER TO PLAY P1999 is a virus (specifically a trojan)? Yet the only people who seem to have any knowledge of the virus are the people who are suspended.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a little odd that very few people have had any issue with their virus protection flagging the file?

And it is as simple as "then don't play". If you are worried about the intengrity of the people who run this server delete the files and be done with it.

Stop making these threads.
