It was the same thing after the bots were banned too, but a little easier.

Yeh... I got my hopes up...but all of the banned gold bots made new accounts it seems.
I gauss the only way to stop gold bots is to stop them from getting in the game...wont happen tho

massive ? mh.. don't think so.. last year they banned 100 GFs for server.. now only 300 for server.. so they banned less than 1/3 of the total GFs..

I'd rather have JM not ban those bots in the first place, than give us a glimmer of hope then crush it right away. But then again, goldbots in JN is 1337-tastic for FW winnars.

In Venus, Avalon just does a bot trap for 1 hour or so and we got a Populated Server for a good 2-3 hours.

not sure how this actually lowers server population...

To bad I missed it. lol nightbloom got a complaint from a GOLD COMPANY because they were killing the bots so much and royally screwing over them yesterday.
According to the logic I read, 50 deaths = 1 level lost. They were going all day.

i dont know why, but it was easier to log into odin then after the bot ban
. maybe the post they made about massive bot ban was sarcasm, and added more gold bots
.

Server cap increases are a bad thing in games without channel systems. All they do is crowd each area even further.

Yeah sucks but nothing we can do about it. Joymax needs to find a better way to detect bots instead of their crappy ones now. But hey All they care about is the money, that's why people pay $15 a month just to log in :|

ya, ive always wondered why JM never implemented a channel system
it would be so much better, since all the other MMOs ive played have a channel system at the very least

Actually those bots just made it so your chance of getting in a server was a little higher cause there are still 50,000 bots on each server

Should be like
Code: Select all
XIAN -1) Stalls -2) Goldbots -3) Normal -4) Normal -5) Normal -6) Premium only -7) Premium Only ATHENS -1) Stalls -2) Goldbots -3) Normal -4) Normal -5) Normal -6) Premium only -7) Premium OnlyEtc. Obviously system kinda ripped from Cabal. But it works.

Do what some high lvls have been doing on Venus. Setup a round the clock bot trap outside Jang with lightning thieves. That way they'll never lvl enough to get to DW or Hotan.
