Whats the difference with what this utility does to someone hitting /loc and then checking that position vs a printed map?

Would never be used in this way though, because no matter what you do to try and secure something like this, it will leak out, and the enemy having the maps is worse than you having them.

How would you propose banning a piece of software that only interacts with EQ via a logging (.txt) file?

Ignorance is bliss, eh?

Not sure if you followed the whole thread up until now, but I tried to bring up the idea for COMMUNITY to police ourselves.

I'm not talking about running to a GM to ban everyone you think breaks the rules; we've had enough of that on this server for a lifetime, and in fact I don't want to see anyone get banned (we're trying to promote server growth, not the opposite).

I'm talking about community standing up and saying "NO" to the use of third-party programs which provide an unintended advantage (by circumventing the purposeful removal of maps from the eqgame client) .

The very small portion of the player-base who currently indulge in these programs would quit if their peers stood up against it. The problem is if the offender's peers are inclined to "look the other way", or join the bad behaviour. Thus follows the downward spiral of cheat or be cheated.

Rogean has already set down the law with third party programs.

It's up to us, the community, to uphold the spirit of the rules; to stand up to the rule-breakers and refuse to associate with them unless they play legit.
