We have quite a few possible ways to detect and stop tell spamming. We are working on a solution now and hope to have it ready very very soon.

We've gotten a new set of drivers from NVidia and internally things are looking way better. They'll be posted in just a little more testing! Yay!

This is the error msg:

Can't open game window

Isn't that special?
Two things could be going on with you. If you've run successfully in the past, it might just be DX freaking out, which is usually solved with a reboot. Otherwise, in your "MyDocuments" folder, you'll some log files in the "Pirates of the burning sea" folder. If you open up the most recent one, it'll probably have an error at the bottom of it ??

Bacon works too! But I really doubt it'll have much of a positive impact on the middle east given dietary restrictions and all.

Hello folks,

they have a working key generator.
We have zero evidence this is the case. If it were true, the same key generator would have been making free keys for Everquest and every other SOE game. So, no.

Every gold spammer account whose purchase history we checked out with SOE had a legit purchase behind it. Might have been with a stolen credit card or something, but they were all actual transactions.

I think the farmers are just flooding the servers to gauge interest and learn what kind of investment it's worth making. We'll see how that works out for them as we step up our antispam tools.
