I support this. Anyone who hacks or knows how to hack is a loser irl.

That double variable thing is an interesting way to try to catch ackers, but if you know about it it wouldn't be too hard to find the offsets and keep them the same and/or block the packet from being sent or something.

Flagged accounts got even shittier customer service. I know a friend of a friend of a friend (jk I just read somewhere) that someone who got their account stolen or something like that received no help from the GMs for having the acking soul mark.


edit: is that ackin packet sent to eqemu worldserver on SoF+ etc clients?

I saw a red message come up 'Large warp detected' on 1999 one night recently. I don't hack.

It's caused by packet loss. If you're on a wireless connection, you can end up seeing it all the time.

There were two warp detectors built by the VZTZ devs. The newer one works by calculating maximum velocity between two locations and points in time, meaning packet loss and lag should rarely if ever set it off. False positives happen but are pretty rare, Crucify's acker logs were actually pretty minimal compared to what you would expect (may have to do with the insta IP bans for the blatant spreading word quickly).

Too bad they don't implement anti-cheating solutions on EQ pvp servers like they do here.
