Interesting post, and a warning..

[Silentone]

IMO, maybe should have cell phone numbers with a txt back function to be able to play on Red99 or even Blue99...so that you can ban someone if they are cheating and get rid of them. i know its not a 100% But i think Rogean talked about it..would be cool..

Half is an extreme exaggeration. But yes hacks are not indigenous to PvP or PvE.

Then the admins will simply shut down the project. The people misbehaving in general is what kills the servers. I have never hacked/cheated, not sure why others need to. If people want to come here to "re-live" classic EQ, why ruin it?

Certain peoples sole reason to play is simply to ruin the fun of others. What they don't realize though, is that they not only ruin the fun of others, but their own fun as well especially after people leave the server and it all goes down the drain.

Funny how more of the blue population has hacked than the "vztz" players. Its been proven, you are all hacking crybabies now stfu and let's play some Everquest.

False, but nice try.

Percentage of players is the more important statistic and everyone with half a brain knows there was a significantly higher portion of you lowlife schmucks cheating than the percentage on P99. (Guess where most of them caught came from since your shitbox died?! OMG VZTZ?!)

You must have the inside information on what percentage of people caught came from pvp right? Or the exact percentage of cheaters on pvp servers, or you could just be doing some baseless jabbering about something you clearly feel really defensive about.


Terpuntine is an idiot though.

who is harrison though, really?

[Harrison]

I've played on both servers.

One was a disgusting cess pool of cheating shitbags not even attempting to hide it because there were no consequences, and the server soon died as a result.

Guess which one this was? I'll give you downies a few guesses for good measure.

Even on red99 people are already starting with the hacking accusations. Hiding in a not so good hiding spot and get found? 'acking

Knowing game mechanics they don't understand? 'acking

I think there was a good portion who was doing some 'acking but it wasn't as widespread as you think. I know I never did, and rarely thought someone else was except in the really clear cases #zonecmd shit, but really people are creatures of habit, even myself and knowing where someone might be hiding in a zone doesn't mean it's a hacking cesspool.

Yeah it got cesspooly at points for sure though but for most of my career on gronkbox etc. it seemed not too horrible to me.

I'm not the type to casually toss around "OMG YOU HACKED"

I've seen, used, and fucked with the programs myself across various games so I would know what to look for. I know what they are capable of, and I've seen various forms of cheating across shitloads of games I've had to administrate servers for in the past.

People new to FPS cry hacks often.(and those that are just flat out bad) As an admin it is a pain in the balls to investigate this every, single, fucking time.
It's also necessary for the integrity and health of the server to do so, because sometimes it really IS a wolf.

Long story short; It was rampant and blatant on vztz.
