I dunno, but it sure explained some troll/ogre warrior beating me to the hunter/forager spawns in TT back when Kunark launched!

MacroQuest2 can do anything from simply showing the locations of every NPC/PC in your current zone on your map, with their levels, current health, current loot lists, to running an automated script that makes your characters play by themselves when you aren't at the computer, to letting you 'ghost kill', or hit a mob with almost no chance of it retaliating. Speed hacks, '#zone' command (teleports you to a specific /location in a zone)...it can do a lot.

I've got a question about the anti-hack system...does it detect WinEQ as a third party program? I know a lot of people use it even with a single account (even though it's intended for boxing) because it reduces lag and memory usage by a lot.

I don't know if it does or it doesn't, but I wouldn't worry about it.

If you are experiencing issues with rapid movement, or very slow movement / frame rate, double durations, crashing, etc, try running EQ under WinEQ2, Found at Http://www.lavishsoft.com.

Sad to see the no-tolerance penalty ignored. This just says "well, if enough do it, they won't fully ban us". Plat farmers and poopsockers now just need to poop sock some more levels and farm some more plat. Not really a big deal.

Then to say raid shenanigans were going to be stricter, with some of the things that happened tonight, with GMs there, with no repercussions...I mean, nothing new to see here, just disappointing that the claims of strict punishment are not happening.
