SOE Reviewing Keyclone legality for EQ2

[Havelcek]

I have to say, this doesn't really surprise me. I love my 5 characters and playing them all at the same time but ultimately Keyclone and other solutions are letting me press 1 button instead of 5, as do the hardware solutions. I can easily imagine Blizzard arbitrarily deciding one day to add keyclone detection to Warden and then the party is over.

Can't (directly) detect the hardware only solutions!

seems like keyclones getting the thumbs up, unfortunately innerspace the thumbsdown... and atm keyclone needs innerspace to work, so hopefully the new versions out soon...preferably before the mass bans

Definetly the fuckstick, not work. :P

I take it you feed the keyclone output to innerspace vs the eq2 window because it wont take non-focused window input?
TBH I'm not that familar with exactly how it all works.

Well for all our EQ2 boxing friends, good luck guys. I hope this gets sorted out soon.

Yeah thats basically it with innerspace. Rob is fixing it, or I may just have to kill him.

simply found in-game. if they rule that any type of multi-boxing (software or hardware) is an unfair advantage, hardware guys would be just as hosed.

and yes, it's simple to find the characters using the same powers within the same region within a 0.1 second interval of each other. hardware or software, if they didn't want it, it'd be gone in a blink.

the big item on the GM supervisors list is automation. they don't want bots... understandable. but multi-boxers are not bots.. and would probably be less efficient then the same number of characters manned by 1 person each (if they used vent to coordinate targeting and firing)

Buy two keyboards, and line them up on your desk. Then, out of some wood or plastic, construct a sort of 'claw' that you strap to your hand so that when you press a key on one, you're also pressing the same key on the other keyboard. That's exactly what Keyclone does, and I don't see anything wrong with it. It just gets people fired up because it's "omg teh third partiez".

THE CLAW!!!

[keyclone]

nah... don't like
