Yeah, I forgot ShowEQ didn't have to be on the same machine ... and probably wouldn't be, unless you're a weirdo like me who plays EQ on Linux.

I still don't buy that all (or even most) cheaters will be dumb enough to out themselves, but you're right that some ShowEQ usage is just unavoidable, for any EQEmu server. The only real solution is to limit data sent by the server.

(As an aside, I'm very curious about how much the server can limit data sent to the client, and how much "ShowEQ data" has to be sent, just because of how the EQ client works.)

Anyhow, FWIW I'm now fully convinced Quarm is in good hands in terms of anti-cheating ... even without an invasive anti-cheat. Thank you Secrets for taking the time to engage and explain it all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
