Save Classic Sparring

[Thallen]

This is a desperate plea put out there to anyone who can help this game at it's roots, the classic servers, the sword servers, where a longlived aspect of the game is being bludgeoned carelessly...

What do you do after you complete all of the quests on a server? Sure, you can collect NPCs, make friends here and there, and explore, but everyone who has played Graal and is even faintly recognized is probably known for sparring or PKing. Sparring is being killed on Graal by speedhackers.
Before there was really minor speed, people were using godmode - with the fall of that, it has opened my eyes to exactly how many people do take the time and effort to cheat to win spars. So many people do it, and so little people actually recognize it. I'll admit it - I check out hacks every now and then to see what they do, and nowadays, for the most part, they don't even work for Windows 98. There is one hack in particular going around that allows players to increase their speed by such a small interval as .02 units - I don't think this refers to TPS, or tiles per second. So many people use this hack now that it's ridiculous. .50 is the default set speed. Many use .52, but that is very hard to recognize. What's killing me is seeing players get away with winning spar tournaments using this hack on .54 or .56. It is an obvious speed increase, and is clearly visible to the naked eye. So many staff members fall for the "I have a dual core processor, 5000GB RAM, and a ALPHAx v8800 video card with spinning rims," excuse, or even the popualar, "I just lag."
Out of the small percentage that I do manage to shed light upon and teach this masterful arts of catching speedhackers, an even smaller percentage will punish them, as they say they have no proof. Can anyone on Graal come up with a solution to this? Any way to single out even the most minor speedhackers, any script, anything at all? I am growing so tired of wasting hours on spar tournaments each week to lose by someone using speed, and I know a handful of others are as well.


Please do not respond to this thread if you're not willing to talk about the subject itself. Don't point out anyone who uses any of these hacks, I probably have structured a list much bigger than yours, regardless...
