And what about people running EverQuest in a virtual machine? You can also spoof your MAC address per outbound connection without much modification to ipfw or iptables scripts. In windows, you could run a registry import to fake it, too. It's just exported from the registry entry to userland as a WMI link. It's not uncommon for people to have multiple computers, either.

I think the idea of third-party tools to play on Project1999 has been discussed and denied. One would have to make it opensource, for trust sake, which leads to easier methodology of defeating it.

And not to nitpick, but you really don't need full regex for that ifconfig line (or any at all), grep would have been fine and a better cross-platform example.

Wow, sorry not to be an expert in regex, lol, It seems I offended you! But please, feel free to show me a simple regex line to output the mac adress, It interests me. (Truly)

Anyway, I think discussing the 2-boxing thing do not lead to anything if devs don't want to introduce a 3rd party soft and want to keep the current rule. Because : what can we do to change things if we can't change anything?

PS : As I said in my first post, there are many ways to bypass this.
