Silkroad Online Forums

After opening sro and dling the update the notice says there is a new user agreement required for all new accounts.

Any idea what this is for? I do not like to presume so anyone know some facts?

probably a half assed attempt to slow goldbots.

im curious lets hope this will help keep bots out our servers

lets hope they fulfill their old rules, which they have not, i cant access the site yet to read it, but its probably something minor or something removed, ive never seen JM act upon their TOS, so it gets a

Not to mention anthor hour till we can play

Don't get your hopes up

Just some legal issues, doesn't mean they're going to do anything

But hey, look at the bright side, next time you register an account it'll take another 5 clicks

That would require them to open their eyes, or remove their blindfolds

(Refrained from saying racist joke )

may be they put another line or 2 in the TOS so that they could sue those gold companies for money .

JM doesnt ban the high lvl botters cause they also buy silk, so they wont ban people that buy from them. The only botters they will ban are the ones that dont buy silk.

would they not already be able to, since those companies exsist as a violation to the user agreement already/ are hurting their profits, problem is who are you going to sue, if you don't know who they are?

the sites up for me now...gonna scan thru it

Of course you know who they are. Money paid to gold companies, I assume, goes through paypal. Just give them a court order to reveal the bank account that pulls the money and you got yourself a person to sue.

item mall user agreement, article 10 states no refunds etc, basically they are trying to protect themselves legally from people doing charge back on them after they buy silk

I notice the FAQ is gone from the website now.
So it seems you're playing SRO again now and not WoW!

Updating now.. now to see if i can get online

edit : nope not yet

After today's weekly server inspection, new user has to agree with our user agreement to play silkroad online without any inconvenience

LOL, so this means that before the update you didn't have to agree with the rules?

SRO: "please agree with us"
Player: "nah"
SRO: "ok you don't have to agree but don't bot, rite? I know we can trust you"
Player: "sure u can trust me"


...

1 small step for players but 1 huge step for Joymax much?

so, anything major changed?

what they need to do, is make a mini game required for registration can be like space invaders or a mini game of pick the colored boxes, make alot of them and make them very random, then automated acount wouldn't be able to be made, if the did the verification of the mini game right, it'd be easy and like 5 mins to the person but the gold bots would have to manually do it, or be set back months to make a way to bot thru each mini game since there would be lots.

set back to months ? if its 5minute for a guy , lets say a company has 140 goldbots its 5*140minutes about 11 hours thats not MONTHS ....

months to find an automated system to do it for every game they'd add, they aren't going to take 11 hours to manually make 140 gold bot accounts, and they sure aren't spending 4 days to add 1k gold bots each weak, thats not going to get them anywhere, that would stop them dead in the water

i bet its a new Anti-Player measure.
now only goldbots can get in ! xD
