Expanding the Camera view is all right, it will not and shouldn't give you superior advantage due to display limitation. If someone can explain this better please go for it.
General Side note:
Such negative sayings "WoE is dead, server is dead" without a proper explanation are not helpful so please provide better feedback if you must post things of the same.
Thank you!
Every player has a line of sight squared. I think its 14 cells on every side, front and back, wich means you can see as far as 14 cells to your right, 14 cells to your left, up and down too. This explains the "Entire Screen Skills", such Stasis at Lv5 that has a range of 27 cells. This is, you on the middle and 13 cells in every direction. If your line of sight is 14 cells, then only the very far away person in the last cell can see you casting Stasis and wont be affected.
Expand the camera view doesnt give you more line of sight (NPCs and other characters), since this data is fixed and comes from the server side, not client side. That's why people with this exe modification only can see a part of prontera population while walking. The only advantage from this comes in certain maps, as WoE Castles and Labyrinths Mazes where you dont know the map and need to see very far away to know where to walk.
However, a normal exe without the modification, with the default zoom maxed will gives you this 14 cells of sight on every side.
There is a simple trick on Ragnarok wich allows you to verify this and see a bit far away without modify the exe:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Right Clic Mouse and move up, the screen will til a bit and you will be able to see a bit far, but unable to see NPCs and players far than 14 cells.
