what do you mean by this
Don't use the same username and password on different servers.
There has been a case in the past where someone used their p99 login info on another eqemu server and they had their stuff stolen.

Incorrect.

World server owners do not actually see your login info. However, if you share the same account *name* and give your account to someone on EZ server, they can access your account *name* emu-wide.

So if your account name is 'Baler', and you log into P99 using the 'Baler' account, the same account name / ID pair is used for all EQEmulator login server accounts.

This, of course, does not mean you should ever reuse your password anywhere.

Think of EQEmu as a form of OAuth2; servers don't see your password, just that 'it is you'.

You're not allowed to talk about that program here, you will get banned very fast.

Make sure you DO NOT have it running while playing p99, ya know because you're playing PEQ at the same time you're playing P99. You'll get autobanned.

Shouldn't you be fixing the encryption on a warhammer or gunz server?

Thanks for verifying this. I suspected that it worked this way, but wasn't sure.

My point was never use the same username and password anywhere for any reason. If you do this and your account is accesed by someone other than you. You are the only person to blame for your own stupidity. As the kiddies say "I was hacked" when there was no hacking involved.

And there was a case where someone used the same username / password on another eqemu server and they had their p99 stuff taken & banned. If they account shared on another server that is likely why, because that's 9/10 the cause.

Secrets hangs out with very shady private server people. He attacked me by saying I claimed people with server access were at fault here. I never said that.
