no probs and currently all mangos servers are like it, I'm not sure about antrix/ascent but i know they have similar hack protection so it's likely to be on there also.

And i believe kingpin was being sarcastic he just doesn't like people asking if and when or w/e.

kingpin will update the server, but he doesn't know when yet, the mangos revision needs to come out (or clarified that this mangos rev will work correctly with 2.3 with updated maps and dbc's) first, then he needs to update his database to accommodate all the new npc's, quests and items.
