Some thoughts about cheating on P1999

[Pico]

then it would be completely trivial for you to set up an eq emu server where you could play with tools all you want. this thread is just more hax justification

[Vohl]

I'm sure setting up an emulation wouldn't be completely trivial. I work full time and have a family. What time I have for fun goes into 1999.

I'm voicing honest opinion here, which includes some sympathy for hackers. In light of your more recent post, am I right to think that the aspergers comment was a personal attack?

im slightly retarded and i was able to set one up in 2 hours

[RandySlopeJr]

When they going Disband guild like TMO for cheating,hacking and exploiting this server we all love?

[Vohl]

I may have been wrong to think it'd take longer to set up a server emulator. Even with the emulator, I'd still need tools to analyze client interactions. Also, a different client setup distinct from 1999 - a completely separate PC is probably best, in fact.

And no, I don't buy for a minute that you're slightly retarded. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's intended to get people to think and post thoughtfully. Try it, mala.

lmao, vohl thinks this thread makes him a "deep thinker"

[Vohl]

It's not so much that as I'm trying to get some sort of talk from the community that isn't "Burn the witch". I'm suprised nobody wants to talk about this in terms that aren't black and white.

Here's something new to consider. Everyone that plays on p1999 has decided, or simply ignores the notion that by playing on this server rather than "live" EQ, we're doing something questionable. I suspect that the anger against the hackers that I see here in some way is fueled by that knowledge. As the saying goes, we hate in others what we see in ourselves.

you're a deep thinker bro, your 3rd grader level of rationalizing cheating at an everquest emulator should be published in the next academic journal
