🐺 Wolf Pack — Privacy, in plain words

Last updated: 2026-05-30 · Questions? #feedback or /me for what we have on you.

The spirit

This stuff exists to make raids easier to run when things get hectic — and to carry some of the load for the officers who prep at all hours. It is not here to grade anyone. We don't track who caused a wipe, and we never will. Parses are for coordination and a little friendly fun. Healers, tanks, DPS: a rough night is just a rough night. It's a game. Nobody here is "not doing enough."

Is it a keylogger? Is it a virus?

Short answer: no — and you don't have to take our word for it. The cautious instinct is healthy, so here's exactly what it is and how to prove it to yourself.

It reads EverQuest's log file — not your keyboard. When you turn on logging (/log on), EverQuest writes everything to a text file. Mimic just reads that file. It does not record keystrokes, watch your screen, or see your browser, passwords, or anything outside EverQuest. A keylogger hooks your whole keyboard — Mimic literally only opens EQ's own log.
It's an ordinary app, not a virus. No admin rights, no drivers, no Windows services, no changes to system files or startup. It installs to your own user folder and uninstalls cleanly. It can't touch other programs or your operating system.
It's 100% open source. Every line is public — read it on GitHub. People who write keyloggers don't publish their code. Have any techy friend look; what you see is what it does.

Don't trust us — verify:

Scan the installer on VirusTotal. (Heads up: an unsigned installer can trip one or two over-cautious heuristics — that's the "not code-signed yet" thing below, not a real virus.)
Open Task Manager / Resource Monitor — it's one app, talking to one server (our guild's bot) plus GitHub for updates. Nothing else.
The local dashboard shows you exactly what it uploads, live. The pending-upload file on your disk is plain readable text.

And that scary "unknown publisher" popup? That's paperwork, not danger — Windows warns about any app that hasn't paid for a code-signing certificate yet. It says nothing about safety, and we're sorting the signing out.

Your data stays yours

Your raw EverQuest logs and game files stay on your device and your network. The tool reads them locally.
Only what you opt into is ever synced — and only over an authenticated connection tied to your Discord login.
We never upload officer chat, tells, or private channels. They're filtered out on your own machine before anything leaves it.

You're in control

Pick which characters take part. Exclude any character from stats, or from inventory cataloguing, at any time — even one that's in another guild. Toggle on /me →
Turn logging off and uploading stops. No agent running = nothing collected.
See everything we have on you, anytime, on /me. Ask an officer to remove it and we will.

Who sees what

PRIVATEOnly you. Your detailed stats, your inventory, your tells. Gated to your Discord login; never named anywhere else.
ANONGuild-wide totals with no names (e.g. "the Pack summoned 4,000 stacks of food").
GUILDShared with signed-in members (parses, DKP, attendance, kill timers).

What we keep, and why

Combat parses — coordination and friendly competition.
Attendance (ticks) — fair DKP.
Guild/raid chat timeline — our shared history.
/who sightings — keeping the roster straight.
Your stats only count from when you joined us — we don't reach back before your first guild day. (PvP kills are public server events, counted from the start.)

Crash reports (opt-in, default OFF)

If you flip on "Share crash reports" in Mimic's tray menu, the agent reads the crash summaries Zeal already writes to your EQ folder (crashes/*.zip) and uploads the metadata only: exception code, which DLL crashed, Zeal version, zone, and a system snapshot (GPU model/driver, and fingerprints of the game DLLs so we can spot "your dpvs.dll differs from everyone else's"). The memory dump itself never leaves your machine. Turn it off anytime; nothing older than 30 days is collected at opt-in.

That's it. No selling, no ads, no leaderboards of who whispered whom. Just tools to help the Pack run smoother on a crazy night.
