Hello. This is Silkroad Online.
We will tighten the punishment on the use of illegal programs to provide our players a better gaming environment.
The 3 Strike-out system of 'Clean Campaign' will be terminated immediately and when illegal program usage is detected, the account will be blocked permanently. We are informing our players that the standard of 3 Strike-out system which is the recent punishment of bot usage and permanent block which is the punishment of specific illegal program will be integrated to the Tightened Punishment, Permanent Block.
We strongly suggest that do not use any illegal programs and ask our valued players for active participation.
Start date : Mar 23, 2010 after weekly server inspection
Punishment Target : Illegal Program User
Punishment Standard : Permanent Block
Thank you.

Well this might be true, but I don't think donated players will be banned tho. The game has to make money. So at least goldbots will be banned and non-silk users. But who knows.
On the other hand srsly where is Legend V?>.>

as we have seen in the last few weeks they can easily detect and ban almost any and every bot/cheat user... I don't think they are adding anything new because we already have a new hackshield they are just removing the 3 strike thing. "If" you are caught now you get perm banned

ye keep living in a dream, their whole economy would collapse in 1 day, botters make atleast 85% of the population of SRO.
you know what, go and make a survey in server, ask all the botters if they will still play if they either get banned or be stopped of using bot progs, lets see what the survey says.
i dont think joymax are THAT ignorant, imo this all debacle is a PR stunt (the soon to come expansion and SRO2 etc).

Sure it is but it still helps

This means that the servers will be populated again, instead of crowded

At least for some time.

chances are it will be random banning....if not as the above above topic user stated... the population will be very low due to real player playing..
Quote from another online game ...Aion started of as bot free/plevel free and zero warning ban for ingame gold buying etc etc after the game was launched 3 month...GM was active... they ban alot of users and what happen... 20-30% left before the game was even a 1yr old ..pvp was reduce by 50% after that on serveral servers...... but back to the "new server for SRO" i really hope it will be bot free etc.. i will go there and play new built!!

When all botters are banned, 100% of the population of SRO becomes non-bot. People who were not able to play before, will be able to.
you know what, go and make a survey in server, ask all the botters if they will still play if they either get banned or be stopped of using bot progs, lets see what the survey says.
So what? Botters didn't play the game to begin with, they were a waste of server space.

This is very true. But irregardless of the motives behind their actions, the end result is good for the people who actually play the game.

we can only hope, but eh.
also what would REALLY piss me off, is if they actually do make it work this time, and the ones that are already farmed and capped will just stop using bot and keep playing. that will create a hugeeeee gap between them and the rest of the server.

I like how they used the word "WILL" in that announcement, instead of their habitual "WOULD". I hope they'll actually do it. Can't wait to see what happens.

Considering the recent activity, I wouldn't be surprised.

You really think we'll be getting a legit back for every (gold)bot that's going to be banned chickenfeather? xD
If they actually do this it's nice, but I wouldn't care either way..Atleast it's a bit more busy with playerbots, the goldbots can fck off though.

I don't think we'll be getting a legit back for every bot, but it's going to be a lot fairer for everyone that plays. I don't understand the distinction you make between goldbots and playerbots, they both suck and should be banned.
