I would expect less hacking now. In '99 you guys were all 12-16 and hacking, have impulse control issues, and got your slaps. Now you're all 24-28 and have learned right? You peps still hacking and older are disgraceful....ultimate shame and humiliation upon you. Public lists please with "A"s on your BPs.

In 99 I had no clue there was any hacking. I naively assumed that since EQ ran in a full window and you couldn't alt-tab out of it that it was impossible. I really didn't learn about how bad hacking was in Live until well after I had left the game and read about it. What we did have was a shit ton of exploits and bugs that people took advantage of.
Hmm, there was one where if you deleted your character you could create a new one with the same name and loot your old corpse. Could transfer no drop items that way if you wanted to reroll an alt, like say Jboots..
Or one where sometimes the name filter would not catch duplicates and you could end up with the same name as someone else. Sometimes while zoning you would end up as the other character so if you were level 14 and they were 50 you'd both be in for a rather strange surprise. Seen that one happen to my buddy and he was the one that had the higher level guy.
There were so many at the time I don't think people needed to hack. The game was buggy as all hell when it first opened.
