Sounds lame but probably not any worse than allowing people to have custom UIs giving them extra hot keys, etc. As long as the maps only show the users location I don't really care.

Reminder: Maps were intentionally removed. Working around this via 3rd party software is 100% cheating. Keep that weak shit on blue idgaf

I don't see a way staff could control this other than setting policy. Technically, using log parser has never drawn much attention as "third party programs". However, adding mapping to the equation is just a way to bypass something server staff already decided to remove from the client, and therefore my opinion is strongly of the "this is wrong" variety.

It would not be difficult to add a plugin to EQwatcher to send loc readings from multiple clients to a central mapping server, and then throw the whole thing on the Web behind a login for guild use.

So: at what point on the scale does this become a "cheat"?

Set policy against it, IMHO. It's not hard to look at p99 wiki and figure out where you are/need to be. Mapping software to circumvent the purposeful removal of a EQ client feature _is_ a third party software cheat.

chewie i dont know you but based on what you spew on the forums, players broadcasting their /loc on the interwebs to be easily retrieved by griefers/campers seems like something you would enjoy... if you had the technology

EDIT: especially since the source code is freely available, and most users will not change anything

you guys are way to worried about stuff that skirts the MQ/showeq policy by using log based systems, you guys should be way more worried about like 3 or 4 of the ultra spergs here distroing undetectable MQ's.
