Xian has plenty of spots

still hope more gold bots get banned, there was a fair amount of player bots in the last banlist, even though only 1 high lvl player bot got banned i still saw a lot more player bots in the mid-low lvl range

Tibet is still ok.
I think that joymax did a good job for a start. Hope they go on doing this every week or even better every day

I will simply say it depends on your server, but Olympus is still crowded and doesn't thin out until I need to sleep around 10:30 pm Central
Still, I hope Joymax keeps on banning bots.

Agreed. Odin Ban list is of 961, Xian list of 758, but still...
Maybe they banned random inactive bots, but I recognize several of them from Planars and penons.

I get the feeling that most of the goldbots banned belong to player bots, and I don't think they really feel like giving us a truckload of gold.

it's been quite effective on greece today... server's been populated for most of the day..
hopefully they reboot/ban gold bots every few days and keep the traffic down... would really be helpful =D

If Joymax would ban gold bots every night eventually they would dry up the gold bots stocks of gold and make it hard for them to sell the gold they collect. Maybe they would make enough to sell someone ten million gold one night,but not five people three-hundred million. Also with all of these gold bots banned the servers were populated and people had no problem logging on and an easier time finding a place to train. I ghost walked in the middle of Hotan for the first time without lag.. xD After the ban a friend looked at the powerlevel's website gold prices jumped about 30usd in price, so you can only think with more gold bots banned every day or every other day the prices would get so high that no one would buy from them and soon they would no longer provide Silkroad gold, which would not be impossible because they provide for many other games and would not loose out too bad..
