Silkroad-R Ephesus will ban bots and change fatigue system

ltsune · **Joined:** Mar 2008 **Posts:** 5751 **Location:**

The number 1 complaint people have been having about the 100 cap Silkroad-R Ephesus server is that you could only get exp for 3 hours per day, after which period you'd be disconnected from the server.

Well, as of next week, that is changing!

Another quite cool change is that you can now enter Syria Clash and Battle Arena from level 40 instead of 70. Oh, right, and they promised to start banning bots (we'll see about that) :sohappy:

Yeah, with the bot banning. I don't believe for a second that they're actually going to do something about it. But the other changes are nice.

Most players would buy 100 silk per month to get their pickup pet, and if you do so, you'll have more play time each day as well (prevents too many goldbots, as they'll have to pay if they want to really farm 24/7 - so in effect there are very very few of these).

But also, those who didn't pay $10 per month were probably more casual players - like myself - and for us, 3 hours per day is a lot. Most days, I'd only log in for half an hour or so. So it didn't really matter.

But now it'll change to 5 hours instead, which is great for everyone

Yeah, many people don't really dare to bot right now

Also, we'll see if the first bans are incoming next Tuesday (at inspection time) or what's gonna happen.
Shall be interesting.

We are. Right now, the guild is more active than ever before. It's really great :sohappy:

Eh, I don't know. For my part, apart from the test servers you also mess around on, I've been sticking with my 77 nuker on Ephesus since the server launched.

And my general impression is that most in the guild are just sticking to their chars. Some reroll of course, yeah :p

Something went wrong. I opened silkroadR then x trap said abnormal client detected. I didn't put anything there. I simply double clicked the icon and pressed start. It asked me to uninstall and re-install the game. So I did that, but everytime I try installing my computer freezes when I click the installer. It's srill frozen.
