been found out - now what?
I won't go into the details but lets suppose someone you know in game found out you was using ShowEQ now, (did not say in game btw - so no text screen shot)
how much jeopardy would your account be in and what actions would you recommend thanks... would it be serious enough to go underground and disappear for a while? or change servers? 4 level 60s on my account..
You're a little off there.
The reason you saw other guides on ShowEQ when you were guideing was because when your account is guide flagged the packets that show you other GMs are sent to you. This is server based. The reason that non guides don't see "cloaked" guides/GMs is because the server checks to see if your account is guide flagged without sending any information to you. If it is, then the packets that identify where the guides/GMs are are sent. Didn't you notice that you could still see your fellow guides when they were using /hide?
I found this out for sure the other night. There was a GM in the same zone as me, that showed up on a who. The GM then went hidden without going /anon (anon tells the server not to display you on player /who lists, hide just makes the server not send any packets that would display you) The GM DID NOT show up on showeq, even though he was obviously in the zone.
