It seems unlikely he's using MQ2, I've never watched him in game but if he's just broadcasting, like has been said--there's no reason to use MQ2 for that. Getting your own compiled version that works on Agnarr/Phinny isn't something for even a normal "power user", you have to really understand...

FWIW I would never have imagined multiplicity would be good for gaming. About 5 years ago I was doing a lot of contracting from home, I was running a laptop for work that was my primary dev machine, a small server that I had to use for builds and a few other things then my personal PC. I wanted...

No one was inside walls taunting VS, such a silly claim. When it was obvious both raid forces were wiping you had clerics trying to camp out in side rooms and VS was going into those rooms while aggro'd on some of our players so maybe that's where you got the impression people were "glitching...

ISboxer is actually different from AHK, AHK is a scripting tool that lets you script combinations of Windows input commands. What's funny is it seems mostly used for gaming now but when I first was made aware of it 10+ years ago it was actually big for automatically testing lots of shit like web...

Also Mommy is actually a distinct individual from Zane, or at least is sometimes, I think.

Eh, you could do all of that legitimately. Zane has a crazy setup he's posted pictures of, with 22+ monitors and countless keyboards/mice etc. It's not easy but it's possible with smart use of in-game macros, well positioned keyboards and someone who is good at clicking/keypressing fast and...

Actually it looks like it's less than I'd have thought. $100 for 25 slot bags (2 on my main, 1 each on 2 alts), $180 for 2 EoK collector's editions, probably $200 total for group xp pots/other store pots on all my chars, probably $50 on random shit like the $7 lev wand, Ayr Dal gambling crates etc.

Vulak was the Fippy overflow server actually, and Lockjaw was the Ragefire one.

I think so, I remember thinking Vulak was packed, but then I remember when Ragefire launched it was like by a huge margin the most people I'd ever seen in my life in zones like Nektulos and Lavastorm. When I moved to Lockjaw it was a little less crowded but the pop was still really, really high...

So RMT has always been there. Back before they stopped listing them, people were just selling EQ items and accounts on ebay. After that various early plat/character broker sites popped up to fill the void. From very early in EQ's history its been possible to spend money to get stuff in game...

Right, like in vanilla WoW there was no real balance for a lot of the abilities that say a Warlock vs a Mage vs a Rogue vs a Hunter had. Some were just better than others at certain situations. Mages were just better CC in 5 mans. Warlocks had self healing and the other 3 had basically none...

Been years since I read this Furor rant but it really captured the feelings of a lot of EQ players at the time. Most modern day EQ TLP players love to take big shits on WoW, and stroke to "how hard" old EQ was (it wasn't) but the people actually playing through PoP and later Gates really were...

They should just leave Velious era CT, Kunark is pretty light on raiding and I remember in era the Velious revamp to PoFear was pretty easy for its time, so allowing it to stay on Agnarr (where players are generally way more powerful than they were in-era Kunark) actually isn't that out of line.

1. Rogues are bad by comparison. They are not worse in absolute terms vs their Classic/Kunark/Velious era selves, they have just never gotten the love that Monks have retroactively. Monks have been given out of era damage tables and it's basically insurmountable at least for awhile. I haven't...

There are more skillsets in gaming than just twitch/reaction/aiming skills. There's games that have no dodging/reaction speed at all, like some of the turn based strategy games or the old isometric wargames they don't make much anymore on PC that require a lot of strategic thinking skill but...

I sorta feel the same way, in most games like WoW hardcore PvE progression was really hard content so that was enough of a challenge. Anyone who was in say a top 100 US guild was playing at a high level, but they eventually stopped rewarding the best raiders with dramatically better gear, so at...

Like I had said originally, there are tiers of RMT. I agree someone who dumps an account they're done with is less of a loser than the 500 lb man living in his grandma's trailer who farms krono all day while playing from his bed. But they're still on the loser spectrum. I've always had valuable...

Buffet also owns his own plane and has a $60m mansion in Florida, he's not as thrifty as implied. Yeah, he does live in the same (decent sized) home he bought in Omaha 50 years ago but he's not like your grandpa shuttling around on greyhound buses. There's a difference between being thrifty...

All MMOs have historically had to strike a fine line on RMT. They know there's no way to get rid of it completely, like the WoW Token is basically RMT proof because you can't trade it directly with other players, but there are still RMTers in WoW who sell gold, accounts, and even RMT crews who...

I doubt he does, not because he couldn't get one working but b/c he wouldn't want to screw EQMule over by doing it, and I don't think he's an AFK TLP RMTer. That's the big issue. On Ragefire/LJ MQ2 was tolerated but not AFK farming, yet some people AFK farmed extensively. This is because the...

Yeah they have an agreement with EQMule, it's not a secret. He actually went out to their offices and talked with them about it. If you read about the history of MQ2, EQMule really didn't intend it to be a shitlord TLP AFK krono farmer tool. He obviously understood it could be used that way, but...

It could in theory. MQ2 was historically an open source project, but portions of it are closed source now. Some of the closed source pieces of it pertain to how EQMule has set up the software so that it's not easy to use a custom compile on Agnarr/Phinny. So the short answer is: the really nice...

Like I said, it would be against the spirit of the agreement they announced in April of 2015 w/P99. At the end of the day though it's their playground and they can pretty much ban anyone they want any time they want. Who is going to sue them over access to an Everquest account? What lawyer is...

This is because the anti-AFK tools MQ2 has to detect other players and stop automation are relatively sophisticated. Since no one is known to have a working MQ2 on Agnarr the vast majority of the automators are using simple solutions like AutoHotKey or various keyboard/mouse macro...

From the EQ Code of Conduct: "11. You will not attempt to interfere with, hack into, or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running EverQuest." So they literally assert privilege to send network traffic to someone's house, and forbid you to even look at that traffic. So...

I mean if you wanna rules lawyer bang we can bang. The terms do not forbid "manipulating" said data, they actually ban trying to decipher it at all, which is absurdity and invalid. They don't own the local network they are spewing their traffic on to and it's not reasonable for them to govern...

I think most or all main Clerics have these already. Cupcaek probably wishes he had heard about this before he did his 25 hour Bergurgle camp recently :(.

Most other MMOs don't send packets I can use to determine where mobs are on a map. Some bad programmers a long time ago made some decisions that 15 years of bad programmers decided would be too much work to ever change. Maybe I don't even want that information on my local network, but there it...

No one would be getting kicked out of the guild for using SEQ, a large portion of the guild uses it. A large portion of the server uses it. People from other guilds in this thread have said they use it. If Fantasy is AFK playing that's shitlord behavior and I'd recommend against it, there have...

Secrets knows his shit, FacelessHacks doesn't understand how Bind Sight or warp exploits work. I've never personally done it but I've known people in prior TLP (Ragefire/LJ era) who made extensive use of mq2warp and it's been something Sony actually has mass-banned for going back to 2012/2013...

Like I said wasn't trying to start anything w/the comment, just saying I've heard all kinds of things about all kinds of people (and haven't repeated most) in the context of that being why I try to judge people based on what I witness/can prove personally. The conversation I had with at least 2...

I'm glad to hear this, there's so much insane forum drama on the official forums directed at us over our "plan" to wake Sleeper that I think it'd be hilarious if someone else did it. Either way I really just don't want the people on welfare to be making money farming Sleeper's Tomb for months.

I hear what you're saying, I'm really not beefing with you I think we just have an alternative outlook. Doji sounds like Ragefire's version of Dima (who ran Modest Man), I didn't like what Dima did and I didn't like dealing with him, he was at least a decent part of why we had drama around our...

To be honest the way I look at it is, there's very little objective right/wrong. It's kind of like steroids in baseball, even good people have to do things to stay in the game. To even come close to competing on Vulak and Fippy you had to be willing to warp hack, excessively use MQ, rules lawyer...

How exactly is Faceless a "zerg" guild? Everquest raids hold 72 people, it's rare we have more than say, one group above that for open world content. We often have less, we've had lots of open world kills with under 50. There were times on Lockjaw people raided with 100+ and dozens of boxed...

I didn't observe that happen, but I concede it could've happened without my seeing it, I was outside the temple but not inside where your raid was. I do know that our raid leaders never said to train you and specifically said not to mess with you. "They don't have the numbers here to beat us so...

At least on Agnarr, Doji (who I don't know despite being in guild with him) is quiet/never talks in raids and is around for about 35% of them. To me just the fact that I don't know much about him in game is a good thing, because it means he's not spewing stupidity into TS and /gu. Sounds like he...
