PunkBuster?

[Oracle]

OK -- what is the deal with this?  Are they really going to start this service up?  Frankly, I know that they will lose a lot of players in the game, as they will not want to play anymore.  Who wants to deal with mundane tasks such as Mining and Lumberjacking and get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?  That's why scripts were written in the first place.  

Here is what EA has to say about PunkBuster:

That's very old information...

Difficult to scan for process which directly affect the data flow. Scripting does NOT affect data flow. Everything that is done via scripts can be done with UOAssist or by hand.

More difficult to scan your PC... some privacy issues arise.

So what does Punk Buster bring to EA's table?

SO as for EUO...will the be able to keep/detect you using EUO besides the old way of paging?

afaik EA decided against punkbuster on uo years ago.
