SO why not just ban the exploiters?

Because it is easier to just force everyone to have EQLegomen than actually banning people breaking rules...

Went the classic way with this one.

Yeap, classic like Sony. A few ruined it for the many.

What a shame

DAM!! I like the luclin Models. Why ban it or do away with it ? it dose nothing but aesthetics

Why are you blatantly lying about exploits?

[jarshale]

Well that didn't last long

Should ultimately be pretty easy to block the workaround, I think.

I'm all for people using the luclin models if they want, but shouldn't you be banned for making and supplying a way to circumvent the rules?
Rules are rules, even if they are stupid to some degree.

Dunno! Haven't heard anything from anybody. And although I've heard secondhand rumblings now and then I haven't noticed any clear statement about "no more luclin models from now on" or anything like that. I don't know anything about the supposed exploits of slightly narrower ogres or whatever people mention now and then, either (that much would be easy to do without needing luclin models, in any case).

It's fine if they want to block luclin models, but they'll need to do at least a little bit more to accomplish that. I think that can be done without having to go too far and put checksums on every file or anything crazy. I might have a few ideas about that if someone wanted to ask, but I doubt they'd need any help.

I'd be okay with a ban. I don't play games. But as long as there is something I can do with this otherwise worthless experience with the EQ data formats that doesn't take much effort and that might be of interest to someone, there you go.

If I cared enough to do something bad I'd probably try to be at least a little sneaky about it.

The development staff made it a point to put in a check that requires Luclin models are disabled in order for you to play their server — and your patcher is deliberately circumventing that.

You can agree with it or disagree, but let's not pretend that it's unclear.

If she gets banned for making the work around, but the people who were exploiting the problem originally dont get banned, then that is complete BS

I see what you're saying, but he is right. There was no offical announcement about luclin models not being allowed anymore. From what I gather they just stopped working as there is a check in place. Has there been any official announcement that I've missed?
