There is a downside to the SDK coming out - the "safe harbor" will go away. However, there are significant upsides, too. The community's ability to create will increase exponentially. If things get really bad, someone will write a verifier that runs on both the client and server that checks for cheats prior to allowing you to join the server. People who care enough about the issue will download it and server admins who care will run it.[/quote:60efc]

yeah i think the whole SDK stuff-will-be-possible issue has been pretty much understood for some time. the point im trying to raise is can we get some information on whether anything is planned on the anti-cheat side of this.

whether or not an anti-cheat program can be devloped yet there can certainly be no downside to building a list of known cheats that are available now without the SDK. simple MD5 checksums of files and info about unique TIKs being submitted would mean that it would have somewhere to start.
