As for the warping, I think Secrets' plan is to rely on human GMs and player reporting, ie. how Live EQ dealt with it, but I'm ... skeptical of that plan. It might have worked with an army of paid live GMs, but P99 has shown the limits of relying on a much smaller, all volunteer GM team, and that's with anti-cheat code! I suspect the egregious cheaters, like the guy who warps during prime playtime hours to a just-spawned Ancient Cyclops in SRo, will likely get reported and caught. The more subtle cheaters though, like the guy only warps when no one is around to see him, will last a lot longer, and as long as they last they'll keep denying legit players access to items. And the guy who never warps, he just happens to make a beeline to the best named in random zones? I just don't see the staff having the bandwidth to sit and watch all the players for that sort of behavior, and it'd be almost impossible for players to prove, so I expect that form of cheating to be rampant on Quarm.

You'd have to have some server-side anti-cheat detection code with some level of automation like that suggested by Tristantio in the other thread:

I didn't realize ShowEQ was a thing until I was running in the middle of Overthere on my druid the one time i decided to try Red99 and a gnome wizard popped right under me and 1 shot me. I asked him how he found me in the middle of nowhere OT, and he said "Oh, I was bound right there." And I didn't know any better until someone mentioned people port around with a program.
What benefit is there to allowing such a program at all? Why not just give every class tracking if such 3rd party programs are allowed? Why not just give all players access to GM commands with the same functionality as ShowEQ?

having something like this running rampant can quickly make a legit server feel like those cheap GM summon item servers.

Yea this cme out way before oow. Before even GoD i reckon. Somewhere from loy to ldon. I am sure i was being a flaggot toward the tail end of ldon. Man i loved delving for augs and building up thr alt currencies to spend on the armours and spells at each camp! My fave augs were the bounce ones - proced a buff that had a chance to reflect spells at the caster. Always dreamt of reflecting a death touch but never did!

MAC only?
I'm still confused if this is MAC only or will it be on Windows PC as well?
