Loginserver Changes
EQEmulator has completed a move to a new Loginserver system. In addition to many new features, our security has been vastly improved. The old system that was in place had been built over a decade ago with encryption methods that have since become insecure. Due to this system overhaul we recommend all players change their loginserver passwords. We may enforce a password change at some point so I suggest everyone perform this as soon as possible to prevent any delays in account access. If you plan to use the SMS System detailed below to recover access, it could take a week to process and should be done immediately.

The new system is accessible directly from the Project 1999 website. New players are no longer required to create an EQEmulator forum account. Instead, you can create a forum account on Project 1999, and manage your loginserver accounts from there.

Existing players can link their EQEmulator Forum Account to their Project 1999 Accounts, and then also manage their loginserver accounts from here.

The SMS System has been added, which will allow players to attach an SMS Number to their loginserver accounts. This can be used to recover loginserver passwords in any situation where they are not accessible.

I realize that there are some players who have lost access to their accounts, who may not be able to utilize this system to recover. We are looking into further methods of account recoveries. We are interested to hear these situations though. If you are one of these players, please post under the petition section (Use the Account Recovery prefix) and explain your situation in detail. Please include the following information at minimum: Do you currently have access to your EQEmulator Forum Account?

Do you currently have access to any of the Loginserver accounts associated with the EQEmulator Forum Account?

There may be further questions we will ask after you create your post.If you are having problems logging in, please verify your eqhost.txt file contains the following:

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998RMT Activity
As many of you know, Project 1999 takes our rules very seriously, from boxing, to cheating, to RMT.

3 Months ago, I wrote the following paragraph:

I briefly mentioned some recent RMT bans, and I wanted to elaborate on that. We have done multiple waves of bans in recent weeks for RMT activity.

Contrary to popular belief, we take RMT seriously. We have a vast arsenal of utilities at our disposal to identify and track suspected activity. Once a particular player has been identified, it is very easy for us to match all associated accounts, and flag all possible transactions. More staff members have been given access and trained on these utilities.

It is not always immediate, but our logs exist forever, and you will be found. There are no way to hide the trades and it is just a matter of time.

DO NOT Buy OR Sell platinum, items, or characters for money. It is not worth it to lose your characters over.When I wrote this message, I wasn't kidding. We noticed, in particular, a new RMT site claiming to never have a customer banned. We silently tracked accounts we found affiliated with their operation, and now today we are permanently banning over 400 accounts that have participated in these activities. Don't bother petitioning unless you have a strong defense.

I'm not sure what it's going to take to get the message across.. I said in the last update that we have the logs, and that you will be found. You are THROWING money away. Throwing it at someone who does nothing beneficial to the server other than get you banned, instead of SUPPORTING the server, and helping the staff that pours our own money and free time into providing this for you. It's insulting to us.

I digress. Here's some patch notes.

Patch Notes
Code

Haynar: Removed distance checks from pet non-melee damage messages.
Haynar: Fix for restoring FD aggro when hit by a spell. It was completely clearing FeignMemory, instead of restoring the hate/aggro.
Haynar: Sneaking was using BehindMob_180 improperly, as were all most rogue skills. This was making sneaking horribly ineffective.
Haynar: Fixed spinning mobs again. (found the real issue, so fixed the true problem)
Haynar: Pathing fixes. Pathing end nodes will now check against actual z coord and bestz if cannot find a node near z actual. If path is only a 1 node, it will go direct if LoS present (no longer checks obstacles). This applies only to 1 node path. This fixes the pathing transition between node/no-noded zone areas. Also fixes some ways that z could be exploited with pathing.
Haynar: Added some fixes for changing mob/pet speeds. This also helps fix snared mobs when they go into flee mode. They should no longer warp all over. Pets follow better too.
Haynar: Starting a trade, while sneaking and hidden, will now break both. Starting a trade while sneaking only, will not cause sneak to drop.
Haynar: Instill Doubt/Intimidation skill should now behave more "classic".
Haynar: You can now get skillups using Intimidation/Instill Doubt skill from a distance.
Haynar: A successful intimidation/instill doubt at a distance, will now show that you are too far away.
Haynar: A successful intimidation/instill doubt will now drop sneak and hide.
Haynar: Getting hit with a detrimental spell, will now break sneak and hide, whether its resisted or not.
Haynar: Many various pathing fixes / improvements.
Haynar: Turning off sneak, while hide is still on, will keep hide up if you haven't moved. You cannot have moved from your original hide location though.
Haynar: Sit aggro fixes. Only will add to the hate list now, if they have enough sit aggro for mob to go and hit them. This should do away with faction hits, unless you actually get aggro.
Haynar: Fix for double hit message on killing shot, when have exactly same # of hit points as damage.
Haynar: Restricted disarm skill to only work on weapons.
Haynar: Altered behavior of when mobs flee, when other mobs of same faction are nearby.
Haynar: Added lore item checks for items within bags, when the whole bag is being looted from a corpse.
Haynar: Slight tweaks to spell fizzle checks, when considering skill specializations. Bard missed notes rate should now take dex and cha into consideration.

Why not ban the dude that is selling instead of the people that are buying because they actually want to play the game?

Some people may not have read this post you made over three months ago, spent money and are now banned. You just let people waste their money while the "RMT seller" cashed in on your player base for over three months and the only victims are the players.

You essentially were a cop waiting outside of a bar at closing time.

Im logged in, click change password in home/account system/change password, I put in old password, set a new one and confirm it in other box and all I get is a message: Invalid Current Password. Multiple invalid attempts may block your access to this system.

Cause everyone reads EULA.

Regardless, you realize that the server admins knew the plat seller was taking money from 600+ peoples accounts for over three months instead of just banning one account and ending it they decided to wait and fuck with people.

You think that just because you were not banned you are not affected? You have now lost 600+ players that play this game, that you have grouped with and have possibly helped you in some way.

Because they waited three months that now raises the cost on everything. Think about how many items are now lost - items that cannot be looted anymore like Manastones, Locket of escape, and many other items that people purchased that are now removed from the game that no longer drop.

Gonna put this here as a question to the GMs. In VP atm going up the ramps in picture room there is a point you get to that warps you back to the bottom of the ramp. Was this intentionally implemented to stop camping on the balcony when mobs are in window or is it a bug ?

Ignorance is no excuse. These are rules that have existed for years. If you ever wanted to play here, then you should have known this rule. "No RMT" means none. No buying. No selling.

They didn't catch these people "outside a bar." They observe them swerving down the streets of town.

You think that just because you were not banned you are not affected? You have now lost 600+ players that play this game, that you have grouped with and have possibly helped you in some way.
Good riddance.

If you go into your Eqhost file does it have the 5998 port or whatever listed in it. Rogean made a post about EQemu changing and make sure your EQhost file was correct.

Carefull what you wish for - to quote Rogean:
"It is not always immediate, but our logs exist forever, and you will be found. There are no way to hide the trades and it is just a matter of time."

Truth^. One of my accounts was just now banned for the original transaction to get him back in July. I have logs showing i paid so not worried but the Timeframe for banning it not just within the last few months.

Edit: Account unbanned. Pras Justice :)

Question about account verification:

My original forum account has become unverified and I have gone through the SMS verification process on the P1999 forums for this account I am posting on but I have two EQemulator accounts I would like to link to this Project 1999 forum account and it only allowed me to link one. Can you link more than one EQemu account to your P99 account?

Mattdog64
03-23-2014, 04:19 PM
you sound pretty mad. did your account get banned?

and clearly English is not his native tongue


I was new to the server, I also brought 8-10 friends with me. Most of us are old EQ players and decided to give it a crack again but this time we are all actually adults that work for living so we don't have the time to sit farming plat or in the EC tunnel making minor transactions so we purchased plat. We would log in playing each night together for a couple hours and play in some random zone.

You people can now rejoice that players that had nothing to do with you - are now banned instead of doing their minor level 20 group with twink gear.

I realize you all feel like the world is a better place now that Mods (drunk with power) have made these bans, mods that would rather sit in the shadows "silently tracking" like the fuckin NSA instead of just banning the two fucks selling everyone plat on the server and killing the source.

But when you really think about it, how is buying plat anymore cheating than getting power leveled 20 levels in one day? Or donating to the devs and getting exp potions for real life money?

Give me a break with your self-righteous bullshit when you allow the exact thing for donations.

I assume this is referring to donations to the Pantheon development. P99 didn't receive anything for that, because it went to Pantheon, through kickstarter. The kickstarter failed anyways, and people were refunded their donations.

I am well aware of the kickstarter, I and my friends backed it with decent amount of money, and have since backed their project at the source since it failed.

The sellers should have been banned instantly. You don't let a crack dealer show up in your neighborhood and wait and see what happens, you snuff it out and move on. Instead you chose to let them THRIVE on your player base, knowing yourself that they were essentially stealing the money since everyone would be banned in the future. This is why you guys will never do this professionally. Because anyone with half a brain would not cannibalize their player base instead of just killing the weed amongst them.

Two very simple solutions:

1.Ban the sellers.

This would have been easy and much healthier for the server, it would have kept 600 more people playing the game.

Happy to provide bank and credit card statements if they want proof that I didn't pay anyone or whatever system logs and registry entries as proof for whatever cheating they think happen (only thing I have in the background, is normally browser and winamp, and really wouldn't have a clue what to look for) - though I admit, I HAVE changed the texture files to *gasp* have Luclin models and textures instead of "classic". Perhaps that was my crime.

Either way, doesn't worry me that much - I've only been here for a month or two, so really haven't dedicated enough time to the char to matter. Feel a lot more sorry for people who have been here way way longer and got wrongly accused and banned through this.

Peace.

The fact that Rogean and crew allowed this in the first place, and now it got out of control like this, is no one's fault but their own. Like i've heard alot of others say on different sites, RMT will never be stopped, you can ban, ban, ban, but you started the fire, and now its too hot to put out, sorry.

Like I heard from another member on another site, I wonder how many of those who got banned donated to the p99 server, site, etc? thats a good question, im sure there were quite a few. Oh well another loss on your end.

If you are someone that would allow a crack dealer to stay selling to people in your neighborhood then you have bigger issues and I am happy you are jobless and stay at home playing EQ.

Calm down there buster, I simply commented on something you said (my perspective being that of a former certified LEO) that has little relevance to what does or doesn't happen on EQ-Emulator.

Hey maddog. You don't seem to understand the serious results of what you were doing. If RMT were allowed freely and dev crew didn't combat it SOE could shut the project down.

So please respect the fact that they fight vigorously to catch RMT people because not doing so would mean the end of P99.

Also, if you were only level 20 you didn't lose much that you legitimately obtained for yourself. Start over. If not, well I'm sorry you got caught breaking the rules. Have fun with your future endeavors.

Honestly , if there is a big need for purchasing items or plat, especially those who want to play but do not have the time to invest grinding 60 hours a week for loot, should have some kind of pay for plat option. This problem will continue as long as you have casual people playing this server trying to compete with people who have the time to grind. The gms should consider some kind of donation for plat program so anyone who has the desire to play and doesn't have the time have an option. This would also help the server pop. I understand this isn't classic, but most of us were kids during classic as well and had the time and energy to grind.

The server population is just fine. Pay to win won't solve RMT at all. It doesn't stop people cheating with other games and it wouldn't stop it here. Enforcing server rules and banning people works just as well.

On live you can practically pay for plat by purchasing a Krono from SOE and selling it in game which is perfectly fine as far as soe are concerned. But there's still people RMTing em cheaper.

No. If you don't have time to enjoy EQ the way it was ment to be then maybe it's time you move on. If your can't handle coming to a game late and being behind people then just turn around and head out the way you came in. Not everyone here who is rich started in the first year of p99. Some were late to the show and still were able to level up and enjoy it without cheating.

I don't understand all you people who don't have time to play the game for hours and hours a day but still can't fathom enjoying it without "competing" with people who do. Who cares? Just play casually and have fun. Why does it matter so much to people whether the other guy in their group is twinked? It seems like you have to have some serious self-esteem issues if someone else having bigger pixels means you can't enjoy yourself. I generally only get online for a couple hours a week and I have a ton of fun on this server, and some of the most fun I had was starting from scratch, with no gear, and leveling up from there. If that doesn't sound like a good time to YOU, you should understand that not everyone else is like you, and the server doesn't need to change for you. The server is doing great the way it is.

People also talk about how they already leveled characters on live and they don't want to do it again. Then don't play! One reason that leveling takes so long on EQ is that the journey to level 60 is a big part of what's fun about the game; it's not just a big mindless race to max level like in WoW. Enjoy the journey or find a different game, but don't call the server flawed because you don't understand what the point of it is.

What the hell are you even talking about? It's a private server, it was probably never intended to be solvent, and I doubt that the admin needs to worry about an "exit".

Let me clarify my comment for you. I was addressing the specific statement Rogean made that implied he stands ready to underwrite all efforts to protect the playing integrity of the game.

Just cause its private doesn't mean that it absolves it of all cost/benefit analysis with respect to addressing things with the EMU other than just running it. Its like a car. You buy a car to get you to and from. But sometimes the costs of maintaining the car exceed expectations or exceed the benefit of paying for a new one.

So my comment was fitting because it pointed out the fact that protecting the integrity of the game will be an ongoing cost associated with running the EMU. And this cost will remain a constant or will even increase.

So my suggestion was that IF and ONLY IF he thinks that he will eliminate the problem then he should run something else. (buy a new car as in the example)

So this whole thing about whether its profitable or intended to be profitable and all that does not address the essence of my post. Everyone has their own threshold of marginal rates of substitution.

Example, So, I rather play EQ than engage real life activity. There are no profits, but I assign value to every incremental minute I spend my time on them differently. Every extra minute spent on the game is less time spent in real life activity, thus I place higher value on the game rather than real life time. But if my time is valuable or my productivity level is high and I get paid alot of money, then every incremental minute playing the game is costing me a lot of money.

So again, it is fitting here because it seems obvious in this case that the "RMT" issue is one they are spending more and more resources to address.

The fact that the GM is willing to give up his own money to protect the integrity of the server sends a "signal" (in the game theory sense) to RMT offenders that money is NOT a constraint with respect to ensuring RMT rules are enforced. My argument is that while it is a signal, the crowd will test him anyway and call his bluff till the end.

I'm not trying to convince. It's only stating a perspective. Everyone on this forum has a right to discuss that with others on this forum as long as the discussion is within the constraints provided as per the rules of the forum. While you may not have the same perspective as I do, thats ok too. One thing I've learned is that it is a fallacy to believe there is no fallacy.

I never stated I lost an income stream. So I don't know where you got that. What I think you haven't gotten which I have actually HAVE provided with previous statements is that deterring RMT is unlikely to STOP RMT. Even more so in this case.

Again, I'll repeat this so that short-term memory does not fail you again. Is that it is a viewpoint. It is your RIGHT to agree and disagree but certainly not your obligation.

I am only stating that bigger players (Sony/Blizzard) have encountered this RMT issue before in order to maintain game play integrity and have been trampled by the stampeding RMT crowd. The only options in this case are:

1. Continue spending resources fighting it until your resources have exhausted

2. Bring the EMU project to a halt. Cut your losses and walk away.

3. Build a system within the EMU that CO-OPTS the RMT activity

Another note: The mere fact that the player base hasnt actually been cut down drastically as I see how many have been on lately is only a worrying sign that the people banned have more than likely reinserted themselves back into the program only to commit the offense again. This not only evidenced by the people still hungry to buy accounts on Redguides.com and other RMT sites and also the server numbers remaining robust. This, to be netted across the net inflows of new players. Rest assured that the returning "banned" players have learned their lesson and will be looking for even keener ways of exploiting the policing.

Its like trading in the financial markets. There are algorithmic programmed software machines that identify patterns in prices and exploit them, but at the same time these algorithms are also being identified and THEIR patterns will be exploited by real-life traders.

Again. The fact that you exclude the possibility of your assumptions about me are wrong is wrong in itself.

I never said the efforts are futile. I am only stating that the current static model is unsustainable (Ceteris Paribas).

You have a lot of other jargon in your post. But what I just said is about all I really deem relevant to address at this point.

Another note: Is that Rogean's confidence in and of itself is interesting to note. Notice that out of all 3 possibilities listed above none of them included the RMT phenomena from coming to a halt. I stand strong behind that assumption. By speculation it seems that Rogean's confidence arises from the fact that by the time any and all of his RMT policing resources have finished the P1999 project will have by then completed its intended purpose. That is also another possibility. HOWEVER, I want to note that this fact has absolutely no effect on whether new or existing players RMT or not.

I remember in the movie Jackie Brown where Samuel Jackson said, " I don't have to trust Melanie, all I got to do is trust that Melanie will be Melanie"

It's a waste of time to trust that people wont find clever ways to find an edge, all you have to do is trust that people will always find ways to gain an edge.

And as for your last sentence, "to you.. im not quite sure what else to say because i don't even know what you are trying to accomplish here. "

Just read the very first line of my previous post. Short-term memory again..

For 1k plat a person can twink ANY character well enough to get them through levels 1-40 and have an easier time of it than people who leveled twinks during classic. Throw-away Kunark weapons have better ratios than most vanilla weapons.

The NyBright sisters in LFay drop probably 2p on average (accounting for the daggers which aren't worth much and the occasional no-weapon spawn). There are 4 of them on a 6 minute timer. They can be started at level 12-14 for most classes without twinking. This is about 80p an hour starting at a low level. In 12 hours time a person can farm enough plat to start a decent twink of any class they want and even at level 20 be wafflestomping mobs in that set.

All ya gotta do is put in the initial 10-15 hours getting a mage or necro up to level 12.

A casual person playing 5-10 hours a week would be able to do this in 5-6 weeks tops.

Or, if you're so desperate to not start out on the bottom you could post in the newbie section and someone will likely hand you a couple weapons and some starting plat that will let skip the mage/necro farm character build all together.

I don't see why anyone should have a problem starting over from scratch on a populated server when items with 80% the power of BIS can be had for 100p or less.

Where are Alecta's changes on Red with level 4 pvp range, item loot, resist updates and exp bonus?

What has that guy been up to for the last 5 months, not one notable line item of work done?

good luck with your dissertation on the causes and effects of rmt on small scale mmo economies. im sure your program director will be proud to publish it and i hope the scientific community considers it a breakthrough in academia.

Anyone who didn't break the rules won't remain banned.


Guilty until proven innocent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwjMbs39Nm8)... that's how we workin'

430 accounts you're bound to catch a fair few innocents. I saw someone quit in EC the other day.. gave all his droppable gear to some no mark, not seen him since.

Hypothetically speaking If I went onto a RMT site whilst in game should I be worried?

I think the bannings are kind of funny.

Nope, had no clue they were coming. I just code. Never heard of redguides until today.

I chat with Rogean on almost a daily basis. What we talk about? Optimizing code, fixing bugs, and catching cheaters.

Will RMTs stop? Nope.

Will there be less of them? Yes. But only if they keep banning them. The banning must continue.

Do I care about RMTs? Nope, they were classic.

Do I care about Boxing? Nope, was classic.

Do I support the staff here. Yep.

I blame all you little RMT bastards, for making me waste half my day Forum Questing.

ANY chance of allowing a SINGLE 2 box anytime soon? I did in fact 5 box before and I paid for those accounts, so no one cared, but here I understand the difference, but I LOVE PLing my chars. It was part of the fun when I hit max level.

I dont even know the reasons this was originally prohibited since I just joined recently.

Have you played on Live in the last few years? Or even on Mac (RIP) or other servers with boxing.
There is hardly any interaction between players because everyone just boxes themselves, it's like playing a single player game online. It really messes up communities.

And if you think fighting over mobs/loot is bad now, wait until there's boxing then there will be at least 2x the people fighting over the loot because now you only need half the players to lock a spawn down (if you have 2-3 people 2-3 boxing, rather than 6 actual people in one group, for example).

I did the same. Paid for two phone lines. Worked at the ISP so got the dial ups for free.

I had two 56k's in my laptop and could dial them both in for double bandwidth. Thing was crazy looking with two phone lines, one on each side. :D

It will be heavily abused, especially since you can create accounts for free. No boxing keeps the group element intact.

I boxed a warrior and shaman on live, but not boxing here is fine by me

We noticed, in particular, a new RMT site claiming to never have a customer banned. We silently tracked accounts we found affiliated with their operation, and now today we are permanently banning over 400 accounts that have participated in these activities.

So you pretty much allowed these guys to sell to over 400 people before taking action, well I'm sure they're very grateful with the insane amount of money YOU allowed them to make before banning them.

I have a question regarding the SMS recovery.

Is it that big of deal if I have several emulator accounts linked to 1 phone number?

Maybe its just me that feels weird about linking two separate accounts to the same phone number for pw recovery purposes but I also dont think it makes sense to link it to some other less used phone number just so its different.

Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Just link as many emulator accounts I own to the same phone number ( my cell )?

Only thing I'd maybe suggest is registering for Google Voice and using that number. That way you don't have to worry about it if you change carriers and lose your current cell #

Loginserver Changes
EQEmulator has completed a move to a new Loginserver system. In addition to many new features, our security has been vastly improved. The old system that was in place had been built over a decade ago with encryption methods that have since become insecure. Due to this system overhaul we recommend all players change their loginserver passwords. We may enforce a password change at some point so I suggest everyone perform this as soon as possible to prevent any delays in account access.

Does this mean anyone that had access to a friend's account that quit or out until velious will be lost?

Looks like there are similar questions here.

So you pretty much allowed these guys to sell to over 400 people before taking action, well I'm sure they're very grateful with the insane amount of money YOU allowed them to make before banning them.

The idea is to hurt the people who actually lose their real money in the process. RMT people aren't going to go away, especially on a completely F2P game, because they only invest their time, which might be worthless itself and even if they get banned, they'll try again.

You RMTers on the other hand, who bought, I don't know, a fungi tunic and a lot of excellent monk gear to level your iksar monk as fast as possible with your RMT plat are now banned after two months of non-stop playing and have nothing to play and a hole in your pocket where the money you paid the RMT guy with used to be. What are the odds those guys will just try RMTing again?

until you no longer have access to your google voice number for whatever reason, then that shit falls on its face as well. Either way, you're trusting another company to maintain the service for you.

True, but I'm pretty sure your voice number will remain unchanged as long as google is in business. Your cell phone # can change for a variety of reasons.

My wifes Aunt got a new phone # (they moved from one coast to another) and her previous number was reassigned. That person was able to access her banking info because it was tied to her previous phone # and the bank sent her an alert with a link to click.

That shit would be impossible in Germany. New cell phone number because you moved? Are your land lines tied to your cell phone contracts?

If you moved far enough to change area codes (probably dont have in germany) then there is a chance that your old number(7 digits) was in use. Also he said his aunt. i would guess that she is a older woman so probably talking about landline. Just a guess though.
