Ya it also helps to not buy gold >_<

If you don't buy the gold then there will be no reason for people to Bot it.

I am however still concerned about regular bots that people use for grinding, and people being banned for that too now? Those are also a big problem.

To be honest, I think you're a closet botter, as you've tried to say this so many times in other threads. Reminds me of the lame excuses Botters give right before they turn themselves in or get banned. It's black or white. But then again, I guess that's neither here nor there...

OT - All servers, with the exception of Babel of course, have been open and accessible first try for a while now.

Don't you guys find it weird that Joymax hasn't taken notice of Babel yet? I mean, baning a total of 4 or so so bots (out of the 50,000+ or so in other servers) from Babel and then completely ignoring the fact that it's the only one with constant traffic? Seems sketchy to me...

I have a feeling some of these GM's actually play this game and most are on Babel. Who knows, they could also be closet botters themselves and running gold companies tooo..

@Bold text, you know the rules don't do that again. :wink:

Earlier one of the members posted that Joymax may be using Babel as a test dummy to see how banning gold bots affects their income. They're probably trying to see if the income on other servers will increase while Babel's own stays the same or at worst, decreases. This will point out a correlation between high silk sales, happy players, and bot bans. Eventually Joymax will realize that banning bots makes them far more silk than playing with themselves. Sooner or later they'll take the final step: Banning player bots. I am quite pleased with the actions Joymax has taken lately.

Actually it is gold bots, not player bots. Why do people care if a player bots really...shouldn't they play just for fun? Who gives a shit what others do. Call me a bot but guess what, would make you look like a dumb ass since i dont play.

u, sir, cannot be a dumbass cuz u have two girls kissing as ur sigpic.

gold bots hog the servers, problem A
player bots do not deserve their characters, problem B

rofl .... bots are a problem caused by joymax(not saying joymax runs them for you lynch mobbers out there)
if they ran a cheat protection problem like gameguard and it keep it updated there'd be no bots.

Yes I think JoyMax are winning the war on bots, as for players it would be nice to see a few of the bigger goldbuying asshats from Zeus banned, aka all of BlackCompany guild.. but i cant see them rly banning players who have a 2 month silk charge history.

As i said to jason, theres two reasons why the servers are less populated.

First of all yes, the bot ans do have something to do with it. Its not the main solution but it still plays a role in reducing the number of people online.

The second is the server cap increase not long ago. By increasing all servers to 3500, its opened a lot more spots for people to play in. As simple logic tells us more server spots = easier to log in.

Thus are the two most obvious reasons.

For example hera got an extra 1500 slots. This means that a potential 1500 herc people can now move to hera, opening spots in herc.

Also mention why i said in combination?

I don't blame Joymax only anymore. I blame the community on older servers like my "home server" of Alexander. Sure, we're all here to have fun but don't we shouldn't become obsessed with leveling. That is how cheating starts in most venues, people want number one at all cost. Thats fine and all but, meh, I digress. Point is: Multiple causes, imo.
