War With Bots & Compensation Event

Inquiry : 221

Hello. This is Silkroad Online.

We have prepared two services as a compensation event for the long duration of server inspection that has occurred recently.

No.1

The effort in making a clean gaming environment has continued steadily, and as a result we have manage to secure a list of massive numbers of bot users.

We will be cracking down the bot users for the next month, and will punish them severely every week.

No.2

We have caused great inconvenience to our users from the long duration of server inspection that has occured beginning of May. We will be proceeding Experience Point Event as a compensation event for the incident. In order to have a larger number of users to enjoy the event, we will first be proceeding bot punishment for a month. We ask for our users understanding regarding this issue.

Event Information : Experience & Skill Points 30% Increase

Event Date : Around Mid-June (Precise date may change depending on the bot punishment situation. We will be announcing the exact date of the event in the future.)

-------------------------------------

Holy crap!

, hope they actually ban some of these 'players'

Nice to actually compensate us

"a list of massive numbers of bot users."

So why not ban them all now?

And really, how many of these bots are just restarts from the last major ban?

Sounds to me like they've either started working with Rev6, or someone with another bot just turned over an account list.

Still, yay for events, I guess.

Wait a minute, I'm tired, so I'm having a bit of trouble telling, but does it say the event is before or after the bot block? The wording is all farked up to hell. If it's before, just, lol, if it's after, then wow, joymax has some brains.

Joymax did say they were going to have an event like a month ago and now we all to to wait a little longer. I just hope they don't say the event will be delay for another month

Lol, I bet you their ban list is going to be 85% gold bots, 15% player bots as usual. So no one will be impressed.

i wish just not to ban normal users... sometimes this is happening;/

they banned a good friend of mine... he was not botting... i am sure for that not 100% but 1000000000%....

Alright a compensation event to help the new bot accounts to get leveled back up.

The saga comes full circle

judaiskariot · Post by **judaiskariot** » Thu May 24, 2007 9:10 pm

Well bots will be bots always. but i think this is the best thin that JM did in freakin 10 months.

Imagine GT (100% SP/XP) + Skill Premium (100% SP) + event (30% SP/XP) = + 230% sp..

People this is the best time to farm..and JM finaly made it easy.. Well it costs and it is steep to pay for all this.. but if you calculate right you can finish farm in 1 month time.

And it is worth it i think.. You dont have to buy silk next month do it now and farm..
