Do they ever get it? They SHOULD have active GM's. Spam in town after 10 minits > Ban. This wont help. People will find a way arround it. Just like ..... enc.

You need real eyes, not a script.

When im walking on the street and i see a policeman, im - and the people arround me - allways following the rules. Stoping for Red licht enc. The players need presure from the GM's. If you know you can be banned from botting why would you bot if you know there is a GM INGAME I'm sure that this helps.

They should not prevent the illigal activitys but they should punish the people that are making them. All those anti-scripts takes time. They should put that time in beeing ACTIVE in the game. As some kind of God.

What they do know is letting the server goes its own way. It like the real world. Big problems but "no one" can do shit about it.

This update will make it impossible to make char names like GM_<namehere>

Too many bots complained of getting random noob PM ppl pming them and disconnecting their bots. Of course they don't say that to the real GM lol.

So yeh Bots complain and something is done immediately to help them lol

We complain and if we are lucky they decide NOT to ban us for complaining

I'm not going to say anything until I see what it really is.

I hope it's not some bullshit like time limit between each message or a very ridiculous censor.

As someone mentioned above, its to prevent spoofing character names on the chat box. There was a bug in the chat window where a user could exploit the system where you can make it appear as though another character typed in a message. If you clicked on the spoofed message you would actually get the spoofed character name too. So it was almost impossible to tell it was fake. The only way to tell was to actually see the chat "bubble" on top of the character's head. There you can actually see how it was done using a newline character.

i dont think the chatting patch will include those old spammers i think they will include the ppl using the alt 255 /n bug, but if they were to patch the gold spammers an easy filter added would be good.

The chat fraud update is to prevent people from using the in game chat system to pose as GMs and pretend to send messages from GMs or other characters.

They should remove the global option for player completly.
A friend of mine was hacked some days ago and he had a small amount of silk on his account.
Stealing all his stuff was not harm enough for the guy. he purchased globals with the silk and postet Free-Hack-Sites advertisements.

This way it is something very like a real crime done to the hacked person.
Therefore it should no longer be possible to harm gamer with globals.
