Default Gave it a go, Must quit.

Back in the day, I played on Sullon Zek. Was a great time in the early expansions, so I thought I'd give Project 1999 a try. Before hitting eighth level, I've had no less than 10 players "pop" onto my location with a 3rd party hack program. This is why I quit in the first place. Not going to bother spending time grinding up to play with a bunch of cheaters. It's sad, really, but oh well. Enjoy yourselves.

You sound very confused. Could these "popping" players possibly have gated, teleported, translocated, zoned or logged in?

I've played on this server for over a year and never once seen evidence of a single 3rd-party hack. Some people manage to get some stuff (eg. boxing) past the GMs, and if you know more about IT than Rogean you might be able to pull off something like ShowEQ (though I wouldn't bet on it). But as far as client hacks go, the dev team has worked very hard to make them impossible (or at least they've made them require so more effort that they're not worth the trouble).

P.S. Sullon Zek was the only Zek server I ever played on. Good times.

To be fair my main server was Bristlebane (blue), but I did play an alt on Sullon Zek (and a main on DaoC and a PvP WoW server). When the teams server comes out I'll totally make a toon on it.

But as for Red ... that's the gross shit. I never once got killed by a de-leveled fungi-wearing loser on Sullon Zek, let alone repeatedly while I was under level 10. I can't even remember seeing another team in my team's newbie areas (although I played more when the server first came out, so I guess that might have been a factor).

I've never been attacked by a single de-leveled person on any of the 28 characters I've leveled to 50+ in the three years I've played on Red.

/shrug it happened to me when I was like level 3 in field of bone, mid-2016ish. Can't speak to your experience, just sharing mine.

I'm pretty sure this was meant for the red forums.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. That's not what that is, it's just a weird glitch that happens occasionally when someone enters a zone.

They aren't teleporting, they're in the middle of zoning and don't have control of their character. Sick jump to conclusions though.
