Can anyone provide more information after 7 years? Is it safe to remove or not?

You're decreasing the level of security of the packets by using a static key. A man in the middle attack is possible to sniff the players' passwords.

 

If after enabled you're getting DCs, open protocol.h and change this macro to this:

#define DEFAULT_PACKET_BUFFER_SIZE (150*1024) //@warme015 prevent dc if there are many entities

The alternative way would be to call buffer_adjust_size in desc.cpp

At some point, if your time permits, could you do a full tutorial on how to remove it and the changes needed to avoid problems?
