I don't know of a website dedicated to this (though I'm sure they
exist). Since most MMOs don't trust the client with any
calculations, cheats tend to fall into two categories:
1) Macros -- automating/repeating a boring process, usually in
order to get money, a high skill, or XP. Technically, these are
possible on any PC game because of how games and the OS work (if
you can move the mouse, there's no reason a third-party program
can't generated the same messages to move the mouse).
2) Information -- these cheats rely on letting you see more of the
information that's passed to the client. For instance, being able
to see other players or mobs "through a wall" or when they are
"invisible." Or being able to see which epic mobs are currently
spawned, etc. These give minor advantages to the cheater and,
especially in a PvP game, are more widely condemned by players
than macro-ing. Technically, these cheats are possible because the
server is sending too much info to the client. - DGN/TECH: exploiting/hacking in MMOGs - sources of info? John MacQueen
