Ghosting and Player Ghosts are 2 different things. Ghosting is a hack with 3rd party software that allows players to hit NPCs that are too far away and the NPC can't hit back. At least that is my understanding of it. Player ghosts are characters that the user has exited EQ and the character stayed in the world. You can verify 100% is a player is a ghost by inspecting them. If the inspect window doesn't pop up when you right click them (and you have /toggleinspec on), then they are a player ghost. This commonly happens when a player /exits instead of camping out. It also happens almost every time EQ crashes to desktop while a player is logged in.

If Fault knows the code that needs to be written for this, I am sure someone would be willing to compile it and check it out. I have a VMware machine on my main PC that I could use to setup for compiling. I am glad you mentioned that, because I hadn't thought of using it for that purpose before lol.

I have messed with compiling in the past but could never get it to work 100%. I am sure that if I messed with it enough I could get it working NP. I am 99% sure that my problem was with using incorrect versions of mysql. I may have to start messing around with code development soon as it sounds like fun lol. Now just to learn how to understand it better :P
