not classic!
I thought in-era people used ShowEQ (which was used, but also banned classically)? If not I don't see how they could do it without some variant of what I just described (which admittedly with 7thGate's pixel idea wouldn't be quite as bad.)

ShowEQ was not banned as it wasn't able to be banned if used correctly. Packet sniffing across a network is not something an EQ client would have access to nor would the staff back then.

Now, if you are using the new stuff...well that is another story, I am pretty sure all that nonsense injects and is clearly detectable.

In theory (it may be illegal and/or unethical) they can most certainly detect if you are running ShowEQ.

They can certainly test you in-game (live in era or now) by watching how you play. Most folks who get caught using the program are caught because of unusual behavior as they impossibly track mobs and magically run across entire zones in a bee line for a random spawn they couldn't have known was there, etc.

Sometimes folks just stupidly talk using it by bragging in chat channels.

Using ShowEQ was against the rules and could result in disciplinary actions.

Yep, didn't think of that
