Here is the reply I recieved.

Hey, Tom. Thanks for sending this over.

That looks like a poor choice of april fools' joke from a first-time poster looking to stir people up, if you're asking me. I can't imagine that our CS folks would say anything bad about it.

What they'd do is bring it up to their their lead, who would bring it up at a live meeting before making policy statements. It's actually just a bit more professional around here, and not at all like the original poster describes. ("a big GM pow wow" between "idiots?") Gimme a break.

It just sounds like he dislikes GMs for some reason, which is a shame. Our GMs bust their asses to help make EQ2 a great service.


EQ2MAP is definitely a bit of a spoiler, and it's probably not the kind of thing we'd put in the default skin.

That doesn't change the fact that it's a really clever mod -- the kind we encourage. The last time I checked it doesn't hack the client or hurt anyone else's play. Like other mods that fit those rules, it's just fine.

That's why I use it on my home comp, my girlfriend has it on her laptop, and at least three other friends use it too.


Take care, and our thanks to the authors.

- Scott
