Whobots.
 

Can we get some GM enforcement on the blatant boxing that goes on with people running secondary accounts on an exemption and using a /who script to look for their pvp enemies? It's why you have a 50 pop pvp server FYI. You code is fundamentally flawed when all it takes is some neckbeard with 50 retired alts checking his second monitor's whobot every 3 seconds for fresh log-ins.

There is no evidence in this thread to indicate, in either direction, whether this is a feature or a bug, classic or non-classic.

It is the responsibility of the public, not the staff, to present evidence which proves a change classic. It is then the responsibility of the staff, not the public, to determine whether or not it is a change that should be made. Personal recollection is never sufficient evidence to alter game mechanics.

Miscellaneous: How do I research?

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Bad server is bad

We would love to have you on Rise of Zek.

This is old, but bumping anyway. This isn't even an issue of having a /who "bot". Anyone can just bind a key to do /who all constantly, and have a log parser like GINA searching for UNKNOWN to know when and where anyone logs in.

This does not seem to be to the spirit of what classic EQ features like /role and /anon do. Instead it completely breaks those features.

Is this at all on the radar for change?

An additional concern (if you are doing something against the rules) is a player can friend all the GMs. If a GM logs to red (even if showing offline) they will appear briefly as they enter world on /who all friend, giving the offending player a insight that they should stop boxing/doing whatever.

Had to pop in because this name rang bells. Tiger, were you on Quellious or am I insane?

I was - unfortunately I am not him - just a homage to the greatest name ever.

You're not wrong. I played a dwarf paladin of no special notoriety on Quellious for most of my early tenure there, but every time I saw that name, I was like...damn what a cool fuckin monk.
