For what it's worth, I agree with you.

This isn't a normal DOS. The server lag comes in spurts, and it's over in the matter of seconds. If what you say is true and what's being sent is valid EQ packets, then it's even more possible that duping is occurring. Why? Because that's all the game is. All there has to be is one set of packets that, when sent, say "loot item X". Or, "trade item X". Or, "Pick up item X". If any of these actions send the value of X from the client, you can tell the server all kinds of crap.

Is that the problem? God, I hope not. That would be easy to validate against the DB (very similar to programming against a SQL injection). There's also a chance that this is akin to a Buffer Overflow exploit, where someone is pushing all kinds of data at the server to overflow some counters to turn item X into item Y.

Anyway, my main point is that this is either a very weak attempt at a DOS, or it's directed in such a way that the dupes are the goal. A *real* DDOS wouldn't last for 5 minutes at a time. It'd take the entire server offline for a week(s). Like what happened 2 or 3 years ago.

I didn't reply to this thread to address the DDoS or Duping issue, I replied to your post to address your conspiracy theories.

Looks like he called you out on your bullcrap and you are avoiding responding to the claims you made. Instead you are trying to distract with other crap hoping people forget about the tinfoil hat raving you just went on.

That's a very canned response from someone who doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.

I was a member of the EQEmu dev team before Rogean even knew what it was.

I wasn't talking about the EQEmu morAN as a few in your guild loves to say. He came specifically to this thread to address your tinfoil hat ravings about conspiracies and you completely flipped off those and started raving like a lunatic about other things. Lay off the redbulls and sleep so your brain can actually form a coherent thought.

A lot more mature than how you behave on these forums on a daily basis, slandering the project and it's staff.

If you think you're winning anything here then you're the one that's "fucking stupid". You're getting shit on.
