"That's really Plaz, he's paying attention, and he's pissed."

As would I or anyone else that spent countless hours and blood creating something only to have some lowlife rip it off and make money from it.

Sprite would have done the entire EQ community a favor if he had just given credit to the real authors of the software, and called the $50 a compiling/enhancing fee.

Sprite was a fucking idiot to claim MQ as his own. I hope you read this you worthless loser. Find some regret in that pissant heart of yours and maybe you will have a chance to make it in the real world. People that lie and cheat end up screwed in the long run. I've seen a few of them end up there already and it's truley sweet for the ones you have screwed in the past.

Edit: Wow, that language filter is kinda cool. hehe

where did I claim MQ as my own? If you read my ad it clearly states there is a regular MQ and I don't even list MQ functions, I just list addtional MQ Gold functions. If I hadn't released MQ Gold click would have been held back a lot longer, so in reality I have done MQ community a favor.

Lol, ya'll just keep tellin yourself that.

Cancer: If it wasn't for me, modern medical science would have been held back a lot longer.

Cigarettes: If it wasn't for me, modern medical science would have been held back a lot longer.

Pol Pot: If it wasn't for me, international humanity laws would have been held back a lot longer.

You truly are among the elite Sprite. Very very l33t.

Click would have been released whether or not you did anything Sprite, and at the same time. It was "held back" pending my completion of the basic location parser, and that was at MY request. Y'all can blaim me for that one if you are so immature you need to point fingers. But don't believe for a second MQ Gold had anything to do with the pace of my work. That was determined solely by a war in Iraq.

Look, Macroquest is licensed under the GPL. That means you are legally required to distribute the source for MQ gold for free(and under the GPL as well), or stop distributing it at all.

This is not my opinion, this is black and white fact. It doesn't matter that you added code, hanging a pair of fuzzy dice on the mirror of a stolen car doesn't make stealing it any less illegal.

If you really have to sell EQ hacks, just sell the offsets. At least it's not so obviously illegal.

Dang I'm out for a few days and I missed this. Oh well. Everyone covered the main rediculous points nicely.

Think we could do a class action suit here Plaz? Just took a look at the latest MQ Gold... and noticed it has the file locations.txt in it. A file I wrote, used with MY parser, which means he's stealing my code as well as yours, and the code of everyone who helped me finish out the mouse routines.

Somehow I doubt he's given me any credit for my work either...
