Well lets think of it the other way, if you got a f2p game and the servers are not crowded and u got a item mall which alil ppl buy from because they dont need it that much just a 4 week ticket or something then where is the profit..how can they profit if there is no 1 buys anything...but if they made the server crowded + put teh prem in the item mall then addicted ppl would buy the prem therefor gold co. will also buy so they can sell for the addicted ppl..well ofc the low lvls in hotan ..everywhere is joymax's its easy why would gold co spend LOTS of time to login chars to make them just stand there doing nothing O.o its also not good for them for the servers to be crowded ...

No with this traffic i only buy silver prem, sometimes a gold prem.

If traffic wasnt that hard i would buy regular Goldtime + Skill gold ticket, which together is more than the gold prem.

They also need to think about the ppl who quit = lost money and the newbies. The one who doesn't know this game yet, first they need to try, then they decide to pay for the game or not. Sro will receive no more new players, but real players will leave one by one.

yeap, and their gonna try to suck as much money out of us as possible before the game dies. Then, onto sro2 or another one of joymax's games.

So it could be:

A) JM is trying to milk this cash cow to death before moving on to the next.

or

B) Some competitor is trying to make it impossible to connect so JM will lost it's customers.

or

C) No new goldbots, JM doesn't doesn't to have to actually look for bots to ban so they make a bunch of these and just ban them every week. (Someone wanna write some names down and see if they appear this week?)

Maybe we could make a poll and see what SRF thinks.

A) I agree
B) I hope
C) If they need a ban list, they should just ban old goldbots. Maybe there aren't enough goldbots to fill the servers so they need to make normal chars to fill it
