TMO resort to hacking in VP

[Godefroi]

Sworen deflecting and being a whiny bitch as usual.

He says all day "move along" at work to pedestrians, not really surprised he does it here to deflect from his guild blatantly caught red handed cheating 'cause getting owned.

I've made an attempt to clear confusion in regards to what is happening here, since people do not understand common English, and rather than accepting that what someone did is "wrong", and is defined as "exploiting" they instead argue semantics, use weasel words, and completely re-label things as "creative"

This is a definition of an English word. It pretty clearly applies to this situation.

Feel free to argue about whatever else you wish.. but one thing is a fact.. it is "exploiting".

I like you, Shades. You clearly respect the rules/ honest playing and also have respect for UM Ann Arbor. An upstanding poster, this one!

Exploiters deserve to be banned, not slapped on the wrist, regardless of which guild they're affiliated with. I really can't believe that this opinion is so unpopular, but alas who are we on this server but the powerless players? Oh well.

P.S. I lived on Washtenaw right off of 23.

Mad props for A2. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

East Lansing is a fucking slum, makes Ypsi look like wonderland.

I was on campus for 2 years and then down south of Stadium on Packard. God I miss the Heidleberg's happy hour. Free wings on Friday? Fucking sign me up.

Also God Bless Ypsi's water tower.

There's an awesome restaurant right under the penis.. I think it's actually called "The tower". Awesome food and atmo.

There were some pretty awesome places to eat on state street near campus too.

I used to spend so much fucking time at Pinball Pete's back in the day.. but I digress.

Yay Ann Arbor!!

That dictionary I sourced is retarded btw. Any serious scholar would most likely use Oxford, or M-W, but I assure you both contain very similar definitions to the one above. I'm an Oxford man myself.

Feel free to look the definition up there at your own leisure.

Global rules (read: enforceable in VP) concerning multi-boxing (IP exemptions) and exploiting:

2+ Boxing
Playing more than one character per server is not allowed and will be strictly enforced. The server will not allow you to log in with more than 1 account per public internet connection. Those attempting to do so will be met with an error message at the loginserver that states there has been a temporary IP block. If you legitimately have more than one real person playing from your connection, you may petition to be excluded from this limitation via an IP Exemption request in the petition forums. Please see the Support section of this guide for more information.

The server staff has many tools available at their disposal to root out people who violate this rule. Those caught will most likely be subject to a permanent ban (GM/Guide discretion).

Third Party Tools, Exploiting
We do not tolerate cheating on Project 1999. Any program that provides an unintended advantage or gleams access to information not otherwise available is very strictly prohibited. Please be aware that while other EQEmulator servers may allow the use of such programs, we do not. We have many systems in place to detect the presence and usage of these programs passively, with regular sweeps to purge users that have utilized them. This is typically a permanent ban.

Do not make the mistake that you may get away with it because you used it on Live Everquest. We put much more effort into the detection of these utilities than SOE ever did. You will be caught and banned if you use them.

The same holds true for exploiting. If you have the slightest doubt that what you are doing may not be intended, please cease immediately and seek clarification from the server staff. Failure to do so and discovery of your actions will lead to disciplinary action.

Abusing IP exemption: permanent ban
Exploiting to provide and unintended advantage: permanent ban
Doing the above to provide an unintended advantage for an entire guild: Raid suspension
