Actually

There is some truth to this post

then why isn't it also a rampant problem on P99?

i'm aware of that stream you did and all. i'm fairly sure that third party programs get nipped in the butt pretty quickly here, though.

If the cheating thing is true at all (and I'd be more inclined to believe that it's just Kegz' excuse for abandoning the server), it's most likely because he's so inept and unintelligent that he couldn't figure out any form of anti-hacking. We asked him in late beta and his answer was that he had "plans for anti-cheating," but never anything more elaborate than that. Since then, people have been talking about how freely they were able to cheat and how the only way to get caught was to be witnessed in the act. Calling it "undetectable cheats developed specifically for this server" (lmfao) is just his face-saving defense, it's easier to paint yourself a victim of unusual misfortune than accept incompetence.

idk man there's like 35 people that play on that server, you don't think one of them was smart enough to develop completely new hacking methods just for his pile of shit? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How to fail at making a server:

Step 1: don't bother doing any beta work, we'll let the players petition in droves when we go live and fix everything later.

Step 2: Opening night is the most important night? Nerf the fuck out of the XP rate so nobody can get above Level 3...that'll make 100s commit to us.

Step 3: GM help? Overrated, get 1 person to do everything.. that should solve any inconsistencies in staffing.

Step 4: Have a forum setup that is hard to look at and deal with. Should stop the trolls coming in, amirite? Also, if anyone loses their password, we'll have it so they can't get it back.

...and then, Epic Emu was born.

It is a rampant problem. Things are only fixed here after they are brought into the open. There are people who write specifically to circumvent Rogean's .dll. If they successfully beat it then the only Rogean or a GM can detect it is if the hacking is reported. The GM can then manually look at the player in game. As of right now, even after my whole fiasco, there are varying builds of MQ2 that are still undetectable in this regard.

Its the same way on p99. The GMs just take faster action on petition reports.

to be fair to Kegz/Toop, i have been on a few different EQEmu Staffs over the last 5.5 years, and Rogean is the first person to ever really have a legit antihax for EQ. Everyone else has to do it manually, or at least has done it that way up until now. honestly, it is not Toop's fault that a bunch of people feel the need to cheat at EQ, and new servers always attracted the kids that were banned on previous servers.

so in that regard i can feel the guys pain.

as far as him getting a job for SoE... well, i had a good chortle over it. i'm SURE that SoE would pass on Rogean and Yeahlight because they were secretly holding out for Toop.

when Activision bought the Guitar Hero franchise, they hired a bunch of people from the Guitar Hero 2 hacking forum i was a part of.

SOE is dumb for not wanting to hire Rogean. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
