eqemu - the concept

[unknownerrors]

The idea of beening able to stick it to Sony and still be able to play EQ on our own terms, on our own servers, with no downtime if we choose, make custom content, to play the game the way WE want to play it is an idea for the record books. many people myself included, play mmo's to defile, or break the set boundaries, to cheat the games that are crowned as uncheatable. now sure one could just set the GM lvl for all new players to 250, and instant gratification is granted. but that is to people who enjoy cheating is to people enjoy lvling. people, the tools to hack your servers has been at your login screens for along time now, most know it most have taken steps not to allow most of it in current forms.. for a few to make the choice for all that it will not be allowed on any server, defeats the idea of eqemu.

isn't the idea about the freedom to choose what you want to do with your server?

theres always going to be asshats that will try to destroy the server to the point that its unplayable by anyone. i'snt that the risk of that server admin?

i also understand that there is really no sure fly way to stop the use of third party tools on servers that don't want them used. but if you give people the choice saying please don't use 3rd party hacking tools here if your caught you will be banned, or please come on in and hack till your hearts content, the common sense of people would tell them to use the later. again there will always be asshats, its also not so hard to type an ip addy in to a ban list.
