I like how eqmule makes it a point to say that MQ2Map is disabled but have always touted that MySEQ is acceptable and is "Phinigel Approved." I still remember the post on their forums, about how he wanted to make sure MQ2 wasn't used on Phinigel to show DBG that MQ2 was basically required to keep the game alive, and that Phinigel wouldn't last very long without it and people would be bored. I gotta go find the posts now. Even how many times I saw him reply and say shit like "Let the people that don't want this program play on their little server, we have all of the other servers still" etc. Turns out Phinigel is a gi-fucking-gantic sucess and is probably the most popular and fun server to ever exist.
However, DBG basically just throwing up their hands and letting this shit slide after all of that public display of "NO 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE!" just screams that they don't give a shit about Phini anymore. I'm just completely convinced that the Luclin instancing is going to be slopped together because the higher ups have now put all resources towards a new expansion that they can release sometime around Christmas. What a joke this company has become.
On another note, how's that Distraction Server coming along? You know the one, the one in the left hand saying "HEY LOOK OVER HERE, LOOK OVER HERE" and in the right hand is the promises of 84 day unlocks, completed and functional instancing on time, and no 3rd party software.
