Going back to EQ Live

projectshrike · #1 12-30-2003, 03:15 PM

Hello all. I just wanted to know if I decide to play on EQ Live servers again, do I need to change anything besides the EQhost.txt file? Is there any way for them to know I was using the emulator, because I don't want to get banned on the Live servers right when I return to them.

To be safe, I was thinking about just reinstalling EQ completely, and deleting any files related to the Emulator.

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

All you have to do is run the reg shortcut, not the patchme one.

The only way you'll get banned is if you start running around your home server screaming it to everyone/anyone. You don't need to wipe your emu dir at all. Just copy your dir and patch the new copy to live and play. The live patcher will update/overwrite your eqhost.txt etc.

If they scanned you you could sue them for invasion of privacy

And then after the legal bit is over either by settlement or court, they will alter their EULA allowing them to do it. :lol:

nah all the privacy activists would protest and boycott them so much they would never hear the end of it. They arent stupid, they are out to make lots of money and doing that would hurt their business model considerably.

True, but who actually reads the EULA? :P No one would know its there till they use it in court. And when they go public they will use the normal excuse of "But you don't have to use it", then all but the decicated will go to SWG. And Sony won't care as they own that one too. And you don't see a SWGEMu, do you? Heh, it could happen....they like the about 6 million a month (Do you really think it takes that much to run those servers?) they make from subscriptions and the execs prob would see this as a threat to their income. (No matter how little a threat it may be.)

Just two cents.
