Meddelande

I can think of a few ways to monitor my computers system memory from another computer, all I wanted to point out was that having EQ not run in a window like this is a cheesy and pointless attempt to keep hackers from hacking EQ.. :o

You are correct... you can monitor the network traffic; however, that in itself doesn't alter the actual application or its residence within your systems memory. You are referring to a sniff application that monitors computer communication traffic and translates the information that can be read by another computer, however, not alter. Plug-ins that listen for key strokes, such as your WinAmp application do not alter EQ, only intercepts keyboard strokes to activate a 3^rd party program. On the other hand running the application in a window allows you to examine the EQ application and alter its memory storage, while the game is playing, to enact a trainer type hack. Period... Laugh all you want, however, that doesn't change the fact that you are violating your agreement when you run such a application. And your ruining the game for legitimate players by encouraging this kind of hack.

****"I also know for a fact that EQ team knows about EQ Windows programs but they know its not a threat to the game. If they had the time and resources they might even change the game engine so that you could run it in a window I bet. ****

I guarantee that they are more concerned with a windows program that's more readily available and does more potential harm to their product and the integrity of the game. Nobody wants another Diablo "fiasco". Didn't say it's not impossible to still hack the application, but it adds a level of difficulty beyond most individual players. Besides, they probably only have to add a query to the client and ask if it's running in a window. J
