To not be suspicious of someone over the internet having access to personal informationis being a moron. They should tell us what exactly the file can do. If they don't make some kind of statment, stickied, and on the front page, I will stop playing here.

Again, not a statement if the files are actually malicious or not, however ...

You're gonna wait for (edit; actually continue to use) the files until the people who made the file to say it's ok first? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You people crack me up.

The monitoring software was obviously warranted if they found over 300 accounts using MQ/SeQ/etc. (I don't keep up w/ that crap)

If it truly bothers you that much, I would recommend uninstalling P1999 and never posting on the forums again.

You're wasting your time complaining.

You didn't make the server, you don't pay to play here. STFU and STFD

Uhh, yeah. If anyone believes that BS snippet then you are being fooled. If you are seriously concerned about privacy then play the game in a sandbox on your computer or play in on a computer which does not contain sensitive information or don't play the game at all. Also, do you honestly think that the devs really want to see your personal info on your computer? (They could care less.. I'm sorry but your importance in the world is not as significant as you imagine)
The reality is that people are cheating and steps need to be taken to address the cheating otherwise the server population will implode as players leave due to rampant cheating. In the end those of us who really want a great classic EQ experience will move on and the cheaters will remain to show how awesome they are... to nobody.. well other than a handful of cheating players and what's the point in that? This is just like the days when Punkbuster first came out and people were getting upset because it could allow someone to see what was being displayed to the player etc. It was necessary to try to keep people interested in playing. I've completely abandoned online games before because of cheating. I don't want to see this happen to Project1999.
Remember, there will be a lot of crap being spread around by players who were suspended or are upset that they can't cheat at a game. It's very easy to fake details and make them look authentic (the original poster of this thread obviously didn't make any effort towards that end).

So, play the game and enjoy it. If you worry about your personal privacy, take steps to safeguard it.

First off, I want to thank Mitic for being a constant source of entertainment. You always make me lawl bro <3

Now, let's get back to the topic...

Anyone who isn't concerned about this should be. Have you really not played on this server? Do you not understand who the people are running this server? Why don't we take the head guys one by one.

Nilbog: Alright, let's be fair. I've never had a bad experience with Nilbog. Yes, he has been known to pick and choose 'classic' features, but eh, whatever. The man is the voice of reason on the staff, but he doesn't seem to take the hands on approach necessary to reign in the rest of the staff.

Rogean: Props, rogean you do a great job. That being said, he's like 22. Maybe I'm an asshole, but I would rather not tempt a kid with the opportunity to scam a couple thousand people out of their bank acct's. I don't think Rogean would ever do this, but do you really want to take the chance? How well do you know him, really?

Uthgaard: Lawl. If you have been paying attention at all for the last 16-18 months, you'd cross the street to get away from this man, much less offer him your pin number.

Secrets: <3 you Secrets. keep living your life the way you feel most comfortable. That being said, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you really know Secrets well enough to hand over access to your pc?


Oh wait, and iirc, p99 hasn't exactly been 100% secure with their own data in the past. With the existence and distribution of this .dll public knowledge, who knows who will attempt to access it and use it for their own purposes? Sony got hacked hard recently. p99 have a better security team? Doubtful.


TL;DR Anyone who isn't concerned about this is an idiot. If you see bossco online it is because he is now a guild toon of TR. P99 uninstalled.

p.s. I don't cheat, bossco is still lvl 60. It isn't just those sus'd that are concerned.

Have the staff mentioned anything at all about these files yet? As someone who was interested prior to hearing about this in playing I am a bit concerned that there hasn't been a word from the staff.

Seems like a lot of speculation / concerns could be remedied if the staff would just be transparent on this issue with the player base. Its not like the files aren't common knowledge from what it seems, so it doesn't seem like a legit reason to stay quiet about it aside from concerning your player base?

If there is a staff update and I missed it id appreciate if someone linked, simply interested in playing but this seems sketchy. Also surprised at the amount of people not concerned about their personal privacy.
