Bot campaign on iSRO

[TheSpy]

Hah, my bad. I meant bot horde.

if you use it solely for stalling and such, then you have no need to ever buy silk, therefore it is a purposeless account. it goes bye bye. and what the **** is a bot horse??

A bot that only works with horses (?)

SRO runs full screen (usually). Couldn't you start up your bot, minimize it so your friend doesn't see it, open up SRO to the login screen, and let your friend log in?

why would anyone just start their bot and hide it. besides there being a gui, if you havent seen screenshots on this site, most bots affect things within the game. some bots change your name to appear as the bot companies name, some bots put their name on every item right below the items name. a good many bots have start up messages, and/ or require a loader, all of which appear to have start up messages and other messages in red in the corner, and sometimes pink gm messages. if your running a bot, and you arent mentally retarded, im pretty sure youd know.

Similarly, you could start up some clientless bots, minimized. Then let your friend start SRO and log in his legit character... ban.

this i can possibly see... maybe. though i dont think a legit client would run, i really dont know how clientless works in that aspect.

If I may say something. I was stalling over night, when I woke I I got the reinstall Silkroad error. So, I reinstalled it. Stalling again and a few days after I get the same error AGAIN. I didn't use any bot/loader/clientless/anything, but a legit client like I usually do. The era of [GM]iBanALot and [GM]iBanToMuch has came. Quit as long as your account isn't banned, yet.

they ban old/inactive/non-silked accounts during this time every year. ask barotix about it, he can relate.

Well basically I'm just saying there could be some cases, albeit rare, that a legit could mistakenly log into a computer that is running a bot, like the case if the friend minimizes it. I understand once you start logging in, bot messages and all would come up and would be obvious, but by that time (if there were insta bot bans) it would be too late. The legit would be banned.

At least with the 3 strikes, it gives the legit a chance to say oops, wrong computer or something, and save themselves. The real bots would be banned if they don't stop. If they do stop, then at least they're not botting anymore.

Although I would like to see all the high lvl bots banned and not have the option of 'going legit' on their botted char.

My friend who's running a bot doesn't get the message, while I do get it without any kind of 3rd party tool installed. NOTHING. I'm starting to believe that this is nothing more than a new kind of JoyMax to tell us "You have been disconnected from the server."

When i started in July 06, you could log on in 1 try. Server was populated at night which was when I played in the US. Jangan was bustling and pvp at south smk gave you something to strive for.

If I were to have joined a year or 2 later, I would def not be playing SRO at all. The situation is horrible for new players. Unless you know someone in game who can help you, it's completely pointless imo to even play.

As for this ban, I sense it will just be goldbots getting banned. Remember, this sort of massive bans happens pretty often. Now with the 3 strike penalty, there won't be as much pressure to ban lots of bots at once. Odds are, after sep or oct, things will go back and JM will stop banning ppl. Either that or they are cleaning this game to attract new players and will be introducing SRO 2 to hook old players that got banned back.

huh?? july 06?? euro was updated 2008....lol good job.


Uhm kinda pointless doing that untill a lot of players are caped/fullsun/ff......gg gaymax....u ruined my favorite game ever so far!.

[JuelzSantana]

lol well i just checked rev6, and the servers were still as bad as usual so obviously this shit isnt working lol

[DarkJackal]

I think it's working just how it was really meant to ;d.

[Tian_Qiang]

Im sure a lot of ppl will quit if they ban bots and probably like 500 users actually playing lol joymax will lose money this way tho.

[sheeplol6]

thats the point of 3 strikes, it dosen't kill off the community.
lets hope this inspection brings what we hope. <3

[Doomsday]

I think it's working just how it was really meant to ;d.

They're monitoring not actually banning.
Wait til the inspection end to say that. ;P
