Any of these guys on other servers?

[i play silk road]

Ok, so I recently restarted onthe Phoenix server, up to level 15, and in every stage of my progression (mangyangs, weasels, water ghosts, stone ghosts, yeoha, tigers) there has been hordes of bots with random names, literally just random keys pressed, like faksdhfl or uyiurwy. all making near identical movements, all killing the same thing, none of them talking.

Here's the sorta thing I mean:


Anyone elese seeing these guys around?

You were gone for that long? Goldbots have been around for over 2 years now - if I remember right.

That's what they are, is bots run by some gold buying companies.

[Swindler]

Liar, you are level 14 not 15. Dont lie, it's bad for your health.

[i play silk road]

Erm, I have levelled since then.
And yes, I have been gone for about 3 years.
I knew there were bots, but I never saw anything like this.

[Toasty]

not sure if serious.

No but seriously, you will see them mostly anywhere, if you dont like 'em, move over to another game.

[i play silk road]

Do you remember me saying I had a problem?
No.
I was simply wondering what they were, since i've not played since before they were around. Back in the good old days with more than 5 real players per server XD

not sure if serious.

srs.

[Swindler]

I never said if you had a problem, I just said if you dont like 'em, play another game.

They are everywhere and on every server. They are run by player bots and companies that sell gold. They used to be part of the reason no one could log in. Recently they haven't been as bad due to Joymax stepping up its game due to GNGWC, mmosite's contest, and legend 5.

Goldbots exist 5 years already.

What is this phenoix server, Can some one here give me the brief introduction for the Pheonix server?

[ddoouugg]

If anything the bots are less of a problem than they have been over the past few months, and before that. See, we can actually log in now, when its convienient for us

[panterr]

Lvl 15 already and didn't see anyone talking about bots?
Well this is what they are. Ranning around and stop at the samep laces, attacking the same monsters with the same skills..

It's a near empty server on SRO.
Seriously, I think the number of bots outnumbers the number of actual players XD

But that's what you get for forgetting your username on your old server.

UHMM?? Silkroad opened 2005, so the game is 5 years old, and the goldbots havent been around that long, maybe 2.5 or 3 years, i remember not seing any in my whole grind (big one) to lvl 64+, there were player bots but not goldbots.

well then you missed something, cause goldbots were surely there but not so amount like you see now.

Clearly you haven't been playing since that time, shhhh.

SRO is almost 4 and a half years old. Gold bots weren't around till much later...

[IceCrash]

i remember gold bots since i first started

i used to think they were real players, inviting em to my guild, i was like, "come on!"

xD

[Skyve]

Haha he has the same reaction as me long time ago,

I stopped playing during the "Babel(NEW era". When I had came back was like "wtf whats with the trend of having random letters in your name" and I posted on SRF for the answer =D

[ddoouugg]
