Trixy: In response to your opinion on the EQEmu project, I must voice my own opinion. I do not see how you get the idea that the EQEmu project is in any way, shape, or form falling apart. Infact, I think the devs are working probably harder than they were when the project first started because of the constant updates from SOE that break the emu. They have had to to fix after fix after fix to get it running with the latest client again. I do not think the devs had to do as many fixes by EQLive patches breaking it. Of course, I could be wrong. I was not here when it first began, but, I have been here since 4.3, and I do not remember EQLive breaking it as often as it is now. Maybe SOE is doing it on purpose...who knows, but I still do not think at all that the project is falling apart. A while back, as you should remember, the forums were pretty much falling apart. The devs kept enforcing new, harsher rules, and everything seemed as if it was plunging into chaos. Well, the forums have improved MUCH since then. The project may be stronger than ever.

Sincerely,
x-scythe

My grand'ma say this too "Oh KhaN, when i was young the world was soooo much better, now KhaN, its only weird things ..."

Nothing die, all things evolve, the one who cant evolve according to the situation will die, and the one who will evolve will survive, its called Darwin law. You will die trixy, and no one will remember your name.

:roll:

i have sex with goats :/

Keep it to yourself.

He installed a backdoor and we are suppose to trust him that he wouldn't do anything? What are you thinking? Do you think we are complete idiots?

No. i'm saying he wouldn't have destroyed everything.. he's learning, he's been learning for over 3 months to what i've seen.. apparently he learned not to install back doors. lol

I would take action against drplump, what he did was stupid, but I find it funny to blame him for the down time, and to start making him look like some evil hacker retard. I mean, even if he is, do you really think drplump would take down the eqemu project?

My reasoning for saying a few of the devs are "careless" about a -few- things of the projects is because they don't expect shit like this to happen when people blatently point out vunerabilities in the website, or something of that sort, then you get some sort of responce that "Lol! I don't even have access to the website!". Which later you find out only LE has access to the website, that's cool, but when he doesn't even listen to you, because apparently you are a "nobody" in the community, then bam, theres a hole in the site thats just waiting for someone to exploit, and when a few of the devs, or even just one, has a conflict with someone, then you have someone who could use that vunerability.

This might not have been the case with DRPLUMP, but what do you think, you gave him access to the website, even if it was his little pictures of people from the eqemu project that 1, if not 2 even cared about. What can you expect? You obviously trusted him enough at that point.

(@LE: Apparently this is what I heard, that the information was forwarded to you.. and also whenever I tried to talk to you, it always resulted in me being ignored.. which was tried over for a 2 week period.. bad timing, or something? PM Me if you care about this exploit, and i'll show you.)

Hypocritical, and irony, is that the same exploit that was used against LV, or similar, is on this website. And still, I told a dev about this, and yet it's still there, and no one cared. I don't hate the devs, or the project as people seem to think, i'm just stating my opinion on the matter.. so please, shoot me.

But yeah, back to the part that I actually care about.

x-scythe: I agree to a little extent. You are right on the part that with all the major expansions, and changes that the project has had a lot of updating, especially with little help from people packetcollecting, and a small programming team to keep everything going.

I'm not arguing saying "WHINE WHINE UPDATES ARENT EVERY DAY, OH MY GOD, THIS IS GAY". Far from it, I understand the situation, it's a free project, besides the immense amounts of donations, and people are doing this in their spare time.

I think one thing I remember was that the project was like.. super-active, then active, then it became super-active again, but then it died down a little, then it was like soft simmer for awhile because of all the updates they had to make just to keep the emulator alive. Then it started to get pretty good again at 4.4, but then it started to get screwed over again for awhile (everyone remembers that bitchy few months where 3/4 of the forums were all looking for a watch to patch back (cant say the word!) lol)

You can even tell that the dev team is so small, because they are having junior dev contests. :roll:

Anyways.

I still stand by my opinion, that until this project gets more user support, I think it's going to stay at a certain point.

Which is ironic, because they even made simple tools for people to run, just to collect the stuff, and it automatically puts it in format that you can send it, if not sent the data straight to them.. just simply run the program.. didn't even need to money donate.

Which reminds me, now that i'm getting back into EQ, I mine as well run it.. it just sits in the background, heh.

Ok so on one hand you bitch cause Devs are leaving and not as much is being done, then in the next breath you say
And that was put together to try to get more done......


Ok so EQEMU is a piece of crap and dying stop bitching about it and leave, months from now when everyone else is still playing and more stuff is working we will think back on you and have a beer for the queer who liked to bitch. :lol:

How about the answer to everything is....

THIS IS A FREE FUCKING SERIVCE

If you care so much then you should pay the devs to work.

I just saw this


Since when??????? Last i herd they still pay'd out of pocket for a lot of the expensis.

Incorrect Khan I used Openzone alot, but when I got a bad virus I had to reformat my harddrive and I lost EVERYTHING, including a vid I for OpenZone that I made while Windcatcher was showing me around the world he had created so I could show everyone else the great things you could do with it(You should check out veldona it is a very beautifull zone with a good amount of detail).
Im currently things up ideas to make a zone, I hope to get started on them soon too.

Sigh. If only i knew what the hell was going on. Lol. Seriously I am very pissed at this guy. What idiot would hack something that is oh, I dont know....free? Why steal peoples characters? Cant you make your own and level him and summon your own items? If hes that good at hacking he should hack EQLive. Leave us alone DrPlump.

P.S DrPlump must mean something about his RL self lol

mattmeck if you decided to actually take a few minutes to read a post and not "excessive post" to something thats totally irrelivent. I'm basing my fact off of something I won't bring up because it will just bring up unessecary argument. :D

It's not an immense amount, but the one i'm directing it towards knows what i'm talking about.

Oh so were at the "I didnt mean any of it i was being sarcastic" part of the thread. was wondering when it would happen

wow, are you on all day? :roll:

I just editted the post a few seconds after.. yes.. it's sarcasm to a point. But yes, a lot of the "immense donations" went to cure Hogie's jobless life, that's one thing that atleast you should pick up.

But that's not what i'm talking about, so don't worry about it.

Mattmeck, just don't even argue, you waste too much time on the forums to actually make any point out of what I was trying to say, so instead of bringing up something randomly picked out to start an argument about, please just don't bother.

Right there proves you dont know what your talking about.


I personaly saw the records of the donations and saw how much Hodie was putting out of pocket.

Since Hogie left the records of the donations have not been avaluble for viewing but they still say there not enough to cover the day to day running of the EMU.


So I ask you, where is your proof? You are talking out your arse at this point but ill give you the opertunity to come up with proof,..................

FYI on this, I requested the title, i was "support helper" for almost a year, I got tired of getting the PM's and e-mails from people asking for warz or people who just refuse to read the forums for help.


So once again you prove you have no clue what your talking about.

Ok here's a question...
 

Does eqemu work yet? or did that Phukhed phuk things up that bad?

mattmeck, I know you ran around going "OMG I'M A NEWBIE SLAYER OMG LOL OLOL OL", i'm glad you finally decided to actually type english though.

I was referring to how you posted, and you even yourself contradict yourself by posting two posts right now in which you could have put into one post.

Again, all I heard was Hogie was stealing funds, for himself, or well in this case scenario, he was using the funds to get better computers to run the project. Again, what I was TOLD in IRC by the devs.. but they seem to make things such a big deal, that maybe they were making stuff up.

Oh yeah, incase you didin't realize, I was being sarcastic, you still don't know english. Are you sure you could even read the records? :o

What I was trying to point out, even after Hogie does, someone did the same exact thing after, for their own server.. taking numerous donations from eqemu itself I bet.

But whatever mattmeck, please continue with your "NEWBIE SLAYING" and daily rainbow happiness posts in the Support forum where you answer the same questions over and over, which makes you some sort of genious. But grats, you can help retards, I guess that is some sort of accomplishment, good job, you win the prize.


Oh yeah, watch this out OH GREAT NEWBIE SLAYER ONE.. I can put TWO POSTS INTO ONE.. HOly crap!


Ubahstuff: EQEMu works fine, nothing was damaged or even tampered with.. just a backdoor was installed which gave him complete access, which he could have destroyed a lot of nothing, but I guess he really didn't care enough.

ok............
 

I see that the server is up and has peeps on it but how do i log on its stuck at the logging into server please wait..
can I log in or no?

As soon as I found out about the exploit I took action, its not like someone told me about it and then days later I decided to look into it. I had a lot of shit I wanted to do that night that I couldnt do because I was handling this situation. As far as I know, you have never PMed me or tried to talk to me about an exploit on here or IRC. If your one of the 10-15 people that pm me on a daily basis and just include the word "hi" to see if I'm around, thats not trying to talk to me. If you were really trying to talk to me, you would have pmed me with the reason you were pm'ing me to begin with. And no, when I get back to my computer, I dont reply to everyone that pms me. For one, I dont have time to answer everyones messages, I only answer ones that I feel need to be answered. If you really did message me about an exploit, I would have paid attention.

He did damage stuff, and he did tamper with stuff, you dont know what your talking about. What did he destroy you might ask? He destroyed image's mysql database that was running on the server. What did he tamper with? He replaced login.php for the forums with one that was suspectible to a known phpbb exploit. He crashed the whole server once, he repeatedly crashed the login servers (remember that Friday night 8 days ago? That was him), and he gave himself forum permissions.

Thats just what I KNOW he did, he probably did a lot more than that, I just havent found out about it yet. So before you start spouting out things you know nothing about, check your story.

Owned.

Bashing me and claiming "thats what I was told" is not proof, even the Devs are telling you your full of it.



Ether give proof or STFU, you have bashed everyone here several times and tried to make personal attackes twords several people but still have yet to give proof for anything you say.


and Bashing me is NOT offering proof.

man this just needs to be locked already :roll:

I just think......
 

I just think you both need to STFU and get over it....I'm tired of comin to check these boards for, I dunno SOMETHING USEFUL and seeing nothing but your constant whining! :cry: so please STFU...MOVE THE PHUK ON!
K? Thnx :twisted:

laff. he actually deleted images mysql database?

In Guild Wars 2 wasn't he the only under 18 year old GM and image trusted him? I would never suspect him actually damaging the project cause he was 'trusted'.

So much for that, rofl.

But yeah, I did message you, and I even messaged you more, but whatever, Image knows what the hole is he said he didn't have access and didn't care, so i'm done. I just sent you a PM with information about some of the holes, hopefully you will realize that they need to be fixed at this point, or maybe you will just ignore it like you have done in the past.

:roll:
