I don't see S-E implement server side macro execution. Most likely, it's just server side macro storage, with which the clients can synchronize.
Hopefully it'll be automatic synchronization, or at least have the option to be automatic.

Not that I'd be terribly sorry if Windower macroing dies (which I doubt would happen), but this change shouldn't have any impact--Windower macro doesn't interact with the FFXI's built-in macro system at all; AFAIK, it intercepts certain key presse combos instead of passing them to FFXI/POL, then just issues a string of commands, sort of like a really fast typist. |
Many who use the Windower embed Windower commands in normal FFXI macros. For example...
/equip main "Aquillo's Staff"
/ma "Blizzard IV" <stnpc>
/console exec BLMnuke.txt
The benefit of that style being that it can be used with both keyboard and gamepad. If you store these macros server-side it would be easy for a GM to search the stored macros for "console exec" and bust you and a few thousand thousand other Windower users. If they care to do so, that is.
