Server History Lesson?

[Cecily]

Those numbers sound right to me. People really wanted TMO to be the evil cheaters they thought we were, but quite simply we didn't have to. Especially when it came to RMT. We didn't have to. The stuff you'd want to buy we got for free. I spent like 200k on tailoring because there wasn't anything left to purchase for my 3 characters.

Sounding right isn't the same as being right.

Thread needs that old screenshot from TMO forums where one of the officers warned everyone that next patch had some files in it that might detect showEQ/macroquest.

We heard this deflection a lot, but I can tell you (not that my word will convince anyone) that this isn't true, at least not for non-officers. If you remember, after the patch went live, a bunch of threads appeared on these very forums because a bunch of people's anti-viruses starting alerting them of the new file(s) and everyone was concerned about spyware, viruses, etc. There was a thread about it on the TMO forums (I think myself or some other members even posted screenshots of the discussion in the thread where everyone was just worried about viruses or keyloggers), there were a bunch of threads about it here, and it wasn't some secret. The new files were huge news and everyone was talking about it. Anyways, I can't remember ever getting any sort of warning *before* the patch dropped, because I clearly remember ventrilo and guildchat exploding as everyone's antivirus was trying to delete patch files [You must be logged in to view images.

Actualy the only talk there was was when i asked loly about the files because my spyware program was flashing like crazy and shuttin down p99 and i could not log. i posted it in old forums and was when loly made the comment and he told everyone what was it. he may be a drunk at that time but the dude knew serious program code and shit.

Oh man, thanks for the blast from the past! I am still shaking off the rust from a 5-6 year break and this thread was the perfect opportunity to reminisce. I see that some drama is timeless [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] that's what makes EQ so great!

Honestly brut, im going to give u a name, Svenn , he was caught try boxing in chardok , he was the dude and his 3 tons got the ban , kicked outta tmo, i do think he later sold it to that dude from a team wich used to main it .

delvled guys, i know sworen got deleved for what tortue did with his cleric . but it was eventualy fixed .

i know kyry was delevled aswell, although i always though it was for calling XXXXX to rogean in the face .
edit i forgot Qados the enchanter got delved suposed for cheating into the road of 60 , he made then another enchanter i believe qadosx . if i recall under that charm spell wich did never broke at all at early kunark

[Cecily]

True, but I am right so there's that. HUUUUGE number of BDA compared to a very small number of TMO got hit in that ban wave is the bullet point.

Who cares what the server was like? This thread reeks of only think about eq in my free time
