Any bot related bans right now is a welcomed sight. Gold bots off would temporarily relieve the traffic, and all those players who think its legal to bot is proven wrong, ToS change or not.

I dont care if it is gold bots or not, it proves they at leaast try and at least that botting is still illegal despite what ppl say.


I hope it's like the last mass ban and they detect all the altered clients. lol Id laugh my ass off.

I once got blamed for this image due to the fact that it is a white stickman that beats up a black one -.- Fail for the persons who think it's racism.

Hmmm reading this while grinding in World Of Kung Fu online. But that's not the issue (cool game though 8) ). After being so inactive from SRO, I'll come back for sure. But again, they have a history of having a laughable list of bots. Very true and I agree, it will reduce the traffic on the servers. I hope so, I do miss the good old days of sro. I want to connect gdam it! :banghead: Lol.

Wooo, this may free up some room on servers. Its a step in the right direction anyway im glad there at least doing something about bots opposed to what they were doing (nothing at all).

I agree, even though it's grat to see them doing their job, they're still doing it wrong by giving the botters warning time to stash their gear.

Yes they make one huge ban once a year. WHAT they SHOULD do is recruit active GM-s who monitor server in daily basis. You really think that one silly ban can get rid of them ? nope! Jm, first of all but your money on anti-cheat program and recruit staff who would communicate with hes members.

1 bot ban wont remove the gold bots forever lol.
They need to implement a security system, or hire some GMs to do that :)
