There is a email to joymax, but you can't email them using your own service, they have a online e-mail system here: http://www.joymax.co.kr/joymax_eng/cont ... /email.asp
*edit* I e-mailed them like a month ago and they still havn't replied back so don't expect a quick reply..lol.

anyways... i love see joymax working ... when i was going to my usual training spot ... i passed the 1st power earth room .. and i see those guolongs_00 , zenyus__00 like i usually do ... and none bans them ... guess why .. because their "profitable"... and not to mention they didnt even whisper/ talk to me like they usually do (at least what i see from other banned players)

wait to go joymax.. u just lost another player ..

I was wondering about that - what if you get a C++ runtime error just when GM comes to visit? I mean I've gotten really random crashes out of nowhere. Talk about major suckage!

i was thinking just the same. im getting a freeze screen bug (i still hear the game but no image refresh) what if a GM find me like that...
well anyways there still a ton of botts around tarim basin, and they are so obiusly botts.
ps.: i think they are banning the small botters but no action against big botters, the ones that use multiple accounts conections computer and bott mainly to sell the gold at ebay

Blah, I did it the other way around ... @_@...
Played Lineage][ since the alpha / beta.. (Sieghardt server)
Switched to Private Servers later on, was fun and all, got bored (again), became a GameMaster after that (got bored yet again). I decided I wanted something new, became a Support Helper, then finally a Network helper, supporting developer (Some simple NPC scripting, restarting the servers when they crashed / were in the need of a reboot).
Later on I became a Head GameMaster, after a few months I noticed that I couldn't get any higher / do anything else :( .

So I quit and started playing Silkroad >< ...

When you got DC'ed, did you get

A) ???? Error
B) Runtime error
C) "Disconnected from Server" message

If A or B it could have happened when a GM was nearbye. Bot program has option to DC when it sees a GM or the GM enters a room. GMs know that; those users get banned.

If 'C' its likely the GM disconnected you himself.

since you tried the bot is y you got baned it takes tim but they get all the botters wether or not it was for 5 min or all the time you played

If that was true, you don't think ChinaTown and Duck_Club would be banned yet?

sounds like they can tell if you used a bot program even in the past

good news if thats the case

bad news for those who only botted the first few levels and then changed their mind about how they wanted to play this game

like i said it takes time some cases get pulled up before others some may never get pulled up to see if ppl botted. it happened in maple a guy who was like lvl 15x was banned after 4 years of playing and he boted his first year only and others get the boot 2 days of playing. and it is true they do favor silk bots they proly get banned but not till they squezee the money first

Some of the people on the bot forums are quite angry (reading their whining is fun). It appears to be bot related and JM is catching on. I'm hoping for another big ban list. :D

someone told me they implamented a program in the KSRO that banned like 80% of botters and we should be getting the same update when the lvl cap rasies

Well this is'nt really according to the topic, but a friend of mine bought silk with his visa, and the bank had some errors during the day, so it did a chargeback and paid the money back a few hours later.

Anyway, when he tried to log on later, he was banned due to chargeback.
He contacted Joymax, and they refused to unban him or even refund the money.

yea that happened to a guild mate of mine but they actaully told him he could get it back but he had to contact someone else some other divison of JM who sorted there money and talk to the credit card company. but it just became a headach so he gave up.

Botting guild...

Although most of the time I run into a few conflicts with Shuryu, he's the only one that really talks at all. I haven't seen him botting but for sure some of his guildmates are notorious botters.

guolongs_00 , zenyus__00

Those three (guolong_10? and zenyu_08 zenyu_10) bot 24/7 in the large strong/power earth ghost rooms.

On what basis can we determine that you were not using a bot? Your post saying you didnt? I would say that only 10% of the lvl 60+ players dont use a bot. So you are probably just pissed off because you got caught.

You had one lvl 65 char and then you made a new char which was lvl 68 when it got banned? No sane person would ever do all that grinding manually again.

Im pretty sure the Greece server was not online 5 months ago. And also, from the way your post is written, i would say you should stay in school and stay off sro.
