I'm guessing poultries was given to you, so it is possible that the previous owner pk2 edited, botted, or used loader. Joymax just didn't get around to banning it until now.

Seems random, I know people who have botted and not been banned, or used to a long time ago and still not banned, yet people who say they are 100% legit are banned, and from the looks of it, don't bot or use loader. I mean, a level 35 got banned, maybe they ban due to non-use now?
I will ask someone I know to check their account, he tested a certain program then stopped using it - will see if that is still active or got banned.

I heard it takes 5 hours to reach lv 5, but w/e. And if the game has 1500 Quests for 40 levels, don't you think that the grind won't be that bad?
But w/e, I just noticed in the Allods thread in Other Games that the game is doomed (haven't even played it yet myself :O), so I'm not gonna bother with it anymore

LMAO at the "it must be random" chatter. 
How is it only in this forum that when someone gets banned it had to be a random ban?!?
"Oh noes i got banned and i swear i am legit." Gotta break out the 'Shaq face' again on this one.

It's obvious that why people would say that the ban is random is due to the rules of this forum. However, we only have poultries's word. Assuming they did no fault other than account sharing, I'm surprised Joymax tracks that information(sudden change from an oz ip to an american one).
Allods looks pretty nice, too bad they stopped its development.

Joymax definitely isn't banning obvious and known botters. Botters that have been around for years. So what is your point? If your argument made any sense and Joymax doesn't randomly ban people then 90% of the server shouldav be banned by now.

BuDo come off it. You know damm well what I am talking about. Ppl here are making it seem like Joymax is randomly banning ppl legit or not. That is not the case.
Yes they are banning ppl. Very very few ppl compared to the amount that blatantly bot. And even though ur point has NOTHING to do with mine you are right. If they ever really did ban all the bots in isro then all the servers would probably show 350/3500.
Right now alot of low lvl gold bots, stall chars and the occasional mid to high levels are being banned. But no one major has been banned in my server. Joymax's banning is and always was a fvcking joke. Even with that said I am hoping they do an epically MASSIVE ban right when they release the new cap.
I'll have the Shaq Face ready to go if that ever happens cuz the forums here would go nuts.

You know, I have wondered the same thing. In the past few days I have come back to venus and have been grinding on mugjis. While grinding I would get irritated at the spawn rate because im a lock, therefore a grinding machine. I run through mobs like butter and need a decent spawn rate to keep in motion. Every so often I would notice that the spawn rate would just "randomly" increase. For about 2 minutes I would get happy thinking I could really get some grinding going. Next thing I know here comes 3 gold bots grinding right where I am. Its like the spawn rate was increased just for their arrival. This eventually pissed me off so much, because it kept happening. So I went and found a wonderful spot in hashades area that I could grind and get all the mobs to myself.
I usually try to stay away from the conspiracies, but I am beginning to believe that JM is a little more involved in the existance of goldbots than most would care to realize. Most people wouldn’t notice what im talking about because they just go to grind spot turn on their bot and go fap. I on the other hand am there kiting every mob in site monitoring their spawning and movment to prepare for my next 5 kills.
The thing I also find very intersting when I am grinding and a gold bot is near, their kills register a lot slower on my end than anyone elses. When a gold bot kills a mob its death is lagged a lot. Its like im connected to a lan game from outside the lan. I used to blame this on my shitty pc. But I have recently gotten a new pc and it happens just as bad.
This is what wonders through the mind of a frustrated player while they are grinding.

I noticed this too, maybe it's a built in game mechanic that spawns more mobs when more players are around.

That annoying damage that kills you after you kill the mob?

I think this is because of lag and because the gold bots start attacking the mob before it appears. If you look at the minimap, you'll notice the red dot appears before you see the mob, so you can click that empty space corresponding to where it will spawn to select it. Not that it helps but every second counts...

I think that is how the really fast grinders work, when I'm grinding I am always looking at the mini map to see where the red dots are and sometimes I'll see the red dot, click in the same area on my screen and be able to select a mob as it's spawning.
That's a two-edged sword though, as the red dot remains for a split second after the animation disappears, so I'll sometimes head back towards a mob I've just killed.
