I had a discussion with my friend regarding the issues with login on to SRO. I was telling him how it doesn't make any financial sense for Joymax to make it difficult to logon. Not if they want new customers anyways. My friend thinks that the issues we're facing is only with established accounts and any new accounts wont have this problem. Can anyone out there in SRF land test this? Make a new account and see if you can log on. thanks

That's just stupid. New accounts are the same as old accounts.
If Joymax want to keep the goldbots away, they just need to improve the security on the register, for make the goldbots unable to create 99999 acounts in some seconds. Then ban the goldbots --> no new goldbots ----> servers populated.

Joymax is smart, by keeping goldbots they force the addicted players (which is the majority of players) to buy premium, therefore they make more money. Back in January when the new update came and there was no traffic for a couple months, I noticed most people didn't have premiums.

Yep, the traffic came back and a lot of ppl began buying premiums again.
This is from a party I was around 2 weeks ago:

Almost everyone had premium. Just count how much money Joymax earned from the players of that party (yeah including me XD)

Well my friend said his theory was based on IP addresses. He feels joymax has a database tying all your accounts to the IP address you use. And if a new IP pops up with a new account that person will not have any difficulty logging into the game. I think this makes sense if joymax wishes to make money. But I still would like to see someone on here try out this theory.

traffic = premiums +$
gold bots = take a % of their profit +$
bots = ,, a % ,, ,, ,, +$
less low levels in game = only silk buyers +$

I mostly manage to login in around 2H in Ares :) If I haven't logged on within half an hour, I just quit and restart and wait 30 min. again. Most of the time I'm in within 2 hours :)

The problem with logging on is That the servers are FULL/CROWDED
meaning there is simply no room, The queue takes the piss because botters dont log off the game unless they get disconnected. And there aren't many real players, So technically being 10th in queue could still make you wait an endless amount of time.

Joymax doesnt need more new customers because the botters pay for their own made bots to popular belief and ofc for Silk, The premium plus was just another way for botters to get more sp since normal players would not be able to get rid of those 5 hours double time per day.

God I cant believe i even used to be able to get rid of those 3 hours of gold ticket time,


just my 2 cents.
