Probably the biggest hindrance to starting a new classic box is the lack of cheat detection.

Didn't even think of that.

Really the hardest part is having someone who knows how to the dll, and keep up with the latest macroquest builds to look for memory usage patterns.

Though a punkbuster style solution might work, could punkbuster be adapted to use with EQ? Is that code FOSS even out there?
