Caught another suspension - I guess GMS read/log all your msgs? Uninstalled EQ

I wouldn't be surprised if they were somehow scanning/reading anything you have in the background going on such as browser/tab history as well when you are connected to the p1999 servers. Soon as I uninstalled EQ and removed the p1999 file data and folder, did a spyware/malware scan and it found some weird shit - before the uninstall the scans never found anything....

Main toons were Shaman Toeking and Necro Taints. GM Menden is a cuck, sorry to say it but he is. Gets his wiggles off making people /random for disputed camps then waits in OOC like a rat as well as reads private tells between players to further pixel hall monitor the shit out of everyone. 2nd encounter with him, nothing crazy, basic train/camp dispute - says he knows about my second account/toon, will make a point to nuke that account as well, even though its not even related in any way to incident or other account...but whatever I can only feel pity and sorry for whatever golum like creature Menden actually is in real life. Makes sense the full on autists, basement dwellers and poopsockers graduate into egomaniac powertripping GMS, similar to turning the prisons into prison guards.

Any players along the way that I had good times with and shared on EQ knowledge/lore that I unfortunately will not longer be able to communicate with - Foromin, Totyns, Venum, Lanlenya, Fabion, Yendel, Urrsilla, Ogore, Chantela and her son, Heknows, Blacktoe and all my Toe-minions and anyone else that I grouped/xped/adventured with.

All in all though I do want to thank Cuckface Menden for his powertrippin golumlike tendencies - Got back into kickboxing/lifting/running. Weather is beautiful, next several days looking like -

Also going through my PS4 collection I didn't touch with games like Bioshock 1/2/Infinite, Dragon Age Inquisition, Horizon Zero Dawn, Witcher series etc.

Never got to try WoW classic relaunch either, got dual 1080GTXs with an AMD 1950x Threadripper just sitting here and never got to play WoW full settings at launch, can finally see some of my favorite zones like Tanaris/Ashenvale/Ungoro in full 2K glory with 120FPS/60HZ on Gsync monitor.

Pixel worship is a sickness and the GMS/Guides are as much as inmates of emulatedNorrath as the NPCs/PCs they rule over. Glad to be free.

RIP Toeking Level 31 Shaman.
RIP Taints Level 32 Necro.
My poor boys got nuked before they could even really spread their wings.

Goodbye.

Yeah, you’re life is so great that it inspired you to write a TDLR shitpost on some dude on the internet. Buh bye.

Certain Staff can read all your message including tells, group & guild chat.
They can read your PMs on the forums as well.

I'm not saying they actively do this for fun but if you're under investigation. Everything you've ever said can be used against you.

Cut the staff some slack, they don't need people like OP shitting on them for doing their volunteer job.

So how would you isolate what it can access but also be able to play P99?

.

well it can access the box that it's on but that has nothing on it except p99 and some other games which make outsize demands on my privacy with their little spyware just sending some statistics back to our servers nothing to worry about at all kind of stuff

i keep that machine blind and mostly mute. it sees nothing and only talks in whitelists

I actually quite like Menden, he was always cordial to me. And I'm a pretty difficult person to be cordial to tbh.

Still a hilarious post though, esp the weather part.

The other player probably reported you for abusive language in your tells. I don't even think GMs can monitor /tells as they are client-side (perhaps a greater nerd than I can confirm).

I hope you learn how to get along with people on the Internet.

There's a weird expectation of privacy on services you use online that people never seem to understand.

EQ is not a peer to peer game. Tells go from your client, to the P1999 server, to another client. You absolutely can log any traffic that comes from the client, including tells.

And really, that's only the tip of the iceberg. Imagine what Facebook gets away with regarding their hall monitors.

Also with Facebook, one false law enforcement request that 'looks legit' and they're required by policy (not by law) to give you another person's entire private messages.

And you all willingly give up personal information online because there's expectation of privacy... in an online era where your personal information *is* the product.

You should be more concerned with Eq tapping into your hypothalamus, rather than gms tapping into your autistic hate spew.

Then why do the staff say they don’t have the ability to access chat records and require screenshots of it
