Never have understood the need to cheat.........

Hate to burst your bubble, but transferring across servers in most cases is not gonna happen. Different servers are built differently and use different items max level etc. Transferring from a server with big numbers on gear to say p99 would never happen. Not to be rude but unless they mq2d all the way to the items on a server where that’s illegal they probably did it fairly

You missed the entire conversation and if your using the DB import for the character and it is setup using the client export, the character can be imported.

In most cases the characters have stock peq items, just items that would be not normally on a character at said lvl. Did I also mention there is only one server that I know of publicly importing characters (I think I did).

See you mention mq2d which I monitor, but from what I have been told it is truly un-reliable. To my experience in using MQ2 the one that is allowed to be used you don't generate 28 pages of violations. In my 300 hours I only have 4 total in the 42 pages that I have. So I think it is reliable and does show those violating the use. As I said people will cheat no matter what to get what they want. Instead of just playing for the love of adventure.

If you don't understand the import process that is not done thru a DB dump you might want to read about it. Just do a search for eqemu character import and it should show you the website for the server which has all the tools and explains how to do it from your client, requiring no server admin to export your character.

Have a great day......

There was no mention of one server doing this, I interpretted it as a blanket statement tho so that could be on me. Anyhow, being fairly confident in sql and understanding the logistics that would be required to import a character its not as simple as hit a button and bam your character is on a new server. items exist on some servers that dont on others and that right there would cause inventory issues at least not to mention the previous issues and probably more. On that note I am very curious what server would import characters from other servers? Been here quite a while and other than maybe an xfer p99 from red to blue (which I dont believe they do) I dont think it would be feasible to xfer from server to server on a regular basis with the current infrastructure. On that note classless/chainbreaker has a great method of blocking mq2 and Im not entirely sure how they did it. People would have to redesign mq2 for the classless client to use mq2 on chainbreaker which they probably wont bother to do.

Not against MQ2 use as long as it is within the rules and the version. Would be nice to be able to block everything not the approved version. My server offers bots and mercs so I don't get why the need to cheat. I can also shutdown the use of mq2 by changing the server rules. Would be nice to have a few more tools to make this a more equal playing field.
