WARNING!!

If you get a Crash-to-Desktop (CTD) message that says something like "MacroQuest has prevented the sending of a bug....etc etc" CHANCES ARE IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL CRASH BUG SENT BY SOE IN ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE A CRASH MESSAGE!!! If this is the case, YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN FLAGGED!!!! If you're playin and a GM suddenly appears above you....stands there a min, then disappears....guess what....you're screwed!!

WARNING!!! IF YOU GET THIS CTD MESSAGE .... DO NOT USE MQ2 FOR A WHILE!!!! THEY WILL CATCH YOU!!!!

heh....hope this helps....

Message caught by a networking packet collector. SoE is intentionally sending crash bugs to those suspected of using 3rd party tools!

Catch it yourself if you don't believe me.

This isn't to say that EVERY crash is from this, but if you start getting this CTD message every few times you zone, then be cautious! Don't use macros, don't talk about macros, don't even think about macros. All it will do is get you in trouble.

Enjoy~

I guess SoE is paying some employees more than we had thought. I just found some IP tracers attacking my IP .....

Seems anyone who is downloading MQ2 possibly is having their IP intercepted by SoE and then traced by some top-notch hackers.

Guess this means that if you even download MQ2 and use it on the same IP to log into your EQ account, you have a high likelyhood of being flagged already.

I can no longer log into any of my EQ accounts, even the ones that have never been touched by MQ2. Isn't this fun.

DKAA will steal you password if you use MQ. No shit! He coded in a program that works at the same harmonic frequency as that tin foil hat that he is always loosing.

OMFG, if you get a PM from DKAA your screwed.. that’s how he triggers the TSR that is loaded on system boot that he added to MQ. Rumor is that if you type “PST” while in game .. well, that triggers it too

oh the funniest part is, they weren't even my accounts! They were my lil bro's! He's gonna be so pissed when he finds out his accounts are banned for use of 3rd party programs!

Sorry, that's not tinfoil, it's aluminum!

I would almost believe that possible ... except for one small fact ... SOE gives you the option NOT to send crash info, so even if you weren't using MQ2, you could still say no and by all rights (according to the post) get flagged for 3rd party app use.

You must think me to be a moron? You think I had the option turned ON to send SoE system info, when I'm using 3rd party software?

I'm not as pathetic as many of the others on these forums. The fact is, that I'm a very able network programmer and I understand how things work. That is the main reason I have IP trackers and packet collectors on my computers =D

The simple fact of the whole matter is: I DON'T CARE IF YOU BELIEVE ME OR NOT!! If you fail to heed my words and use caution, you ~WILL~ get your account suspended/banned. If not today, then later.

You think that you, a puny little gamer (not directed toward the MQ2 developers), with not enough programming knowledge to make your own program to do the MQ2 tasks (otherwise you'd probably be using your own, home-brewn program), are more intelligent then the highly paid hackers at SoE that do nothing but sit on their butt all day long and watch a screen full of 1s and 0s (hypothetically) and see what everyone in EQ is doing? Welcome to the Matrix....it does happen! You think we're really paying $12.95 a month for upgrades and servers? If that were the case, SoE would have the most high-tech, most expensive servers in the world, not to mention a top-notch game.

If you think that you can run ANY tasks on your computer without the hacker sitting at SoE seeing what you're running, you're sorely wrong. In fact, unless you go in and change the name of the MQ2 process, which wouldn't be very hard considering the MQ2 developers provided us the source code to their program, then all the SoE hacker would have to do is tap into your processes and look for 'MacroQuest2.exe' and they'd know you're running it!

You might be saying to yourself: "But that's illegal! They can't do that!" Well guess what...it doesn't matter. They'll do it anyways and if anyone accuses them all they have to do is deny it and there's nothing we can do about it!

Lucky for us, they don't get paid enough to sniff into every single user on the game. Instead, they just watch the logs and see what's going on, then sniff into people they think might be using 3rd party software.

And to the little bastard who send me a PM.....: Just because you do a '/who all GM' and it turns up nothing DOESN'T mean that a GM isn't watching your logs, or even standing right next to you! Simply telling MQ2 to /unload if it detects a GMs presence won't do a thing, because they don't even have to be there to see what you're doing (at least for Admin-GMs....don't know about others).

I wouldn't know for sure, since I've never been employed by SoE, but I wouldn't doubt if they have some form of television network that just has invisible cameras scrolling through zones, so they can see what's going on without even being there. I know I'd do something like that if I were running a MMORPG, or any other MMO game for that matter.

bleh.....

i guess us "puny little gamers" will just have to take the risk and keep on playing

btw to answer your question

You must think me to be a moron?

yes
