Introducing myself : EverQuest 2 General Discussions

Hello everybody!

I think it is time to introduce myself a little bit.

I'm born in 1967 and i'm a german so sorry for my bad english.

I played EQ1 since... oh... since Kunark came out and i used EQEmu, Xylobot, Sins, ShowEQ, MySEQ, XUnleashed and of course the unbeatable Macroquest in this time.

I have only very basic programming knowledge but enough to write some simple Macros since they use a very basic language too. And also enough to rewrite code (make simple/minor changes) in other languages.

Last project i started (but not finished since i started playing EQ 2in early beta) was rewriting parts of Macroquest to make it work on localized servers.

Btw. when you wan't to send / commands (e.g. /afk) on localized EQ2 servers (exept the british one) it's not enough to use , you need to use instead since the / isn't automatically activating the chat window on localized servers.

I'm very cautious with what i write on forums like this since i know that most of the ppl. here are pure leecher and one or two could even work for SoE, that's what the time teached me.
E.g. someone was asking here for informations about how to write a bot in EQ2 and i gave some basic informations about how to do this but no complete bot macro.
And i consider myself more like a leecher too since i really have only basic knowledges and can't contribute a lot to the community.

I only write macros because i love to figure out things, as soon as they work as intended i'm looking for something else to do. E.g.: in EQ1 it was possible to make plats with producing class 6 wood point arrows for some time. After figuring this out i wrote a little Xylobot Script which produced up to 450pp/hr. and later after discovering Macroquest i wrote a nice macro which produces up to 1,2k pp/hr. and after everything was working i got bored and switched to another project which was writing a smart druid bot.

What i hope to find here? Other people with some knowledge to talk together and help each other.

and that is EXACTLY why i am here.
I really don't enjoy cheating in MMORPGs, it quickly ruins the fun. What i do enjoy is finding/creating bots/macros/exploits. I too am not the best programmer but i do manage to get by creating some basic VB bots. My best trait is analysing and using packet filters to create my 'cheats'.
Anyway welcome to our community, i hope you enjoy your stay and although this place is pretty packed with leechers (Is there such a place without them?) there are some of us here who find the time to sit and chat.

What a pitty that EQ2 don't send all zone informations after entering like EQ1, no SEQ for us.

They don't? I haven't actually had a chance to take a look at EQ2 yet. Thats a damn pity. I'm sure there are many other nifty things to do though.
