No need for PT anymore ?

heroo · Post by **heroo** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 6:13 pm

As you guys have been experiencing, log in now is easy. The bots are gone

. Some people are saying that the bots will return in a week or so, but what if they dont ? All the people who bought a PT just to log in are farked now ?

Let me know what you guys think

no, we will definitely need it again, just because the bots are gone for now it wont be that way for ever unfortunately

lol You must not have been here for the last massive bot ban. They will be back in a week, and at full strength in a month.
perhaps the euro update will slow them down some more, so if we are lucky we will have 1 1/2 months till we cant log in again.
I love the optimism though.

And yes premium is still worth it, for weekends and the extra bonuses it gives.

In case you haven't noticed, PT provides other benefits besides the ability to log in.

This is probably the wrong thread for this to get noticed in but Ive been wanting to voice my opinion for a long time... I honestly believe that JM will not ban bots to the best of their ability. And here's why:

A union member of mine posted a quote from the official forums from a player who organized a list of problems. MD responded to those issues.. here's a quote regarding full servers.

I. SERVERS ARE FULL

This is a good thing. Whether the users playing are following the rules or not does not matter, they are playing and keeping the game servers full, which is what we want. We are not all here to judge users based on there actions, but we will moderate and keep users following the rules like always, but we can not just judge all users and ban them day 1 when the servers are full for someone elses convenience. Not everyone can play at once but we are working on improving the server quality and limit constantly, but remember there will always be times when it will be hard to connect or to laggy to play.

Thank You,

-Joymax Moderation Team

Now, I know this is pretty lengthy so here's the summary.. If server's aren't full.. there aren't as many players buying silk! It is obvious that their only motivation to keep the game running is to earn money.. thats the point of a business right? Right! Enjoy the "populated" servers while it lasts because I don't believe it will last long.

I'm not a botter but i do know where to look to find such news:

New iSRO bot under encrypting

New iSRO bot update finished, now under encrypting, expected to be finished in several hours.
Thanks for your patience and ... will keep following up the progress on bot.

The emptiness of the servers and the abundance of stallers has proved my argument I had always made, which is that the problem of filled servers is caused by the amount of gold botters, not stallers or legitimate players playing the game.

Wait for a week

Ok I thought most SRO players knew the name and the "creators" of the most common bot.

Anyway just wanted to show that botters will always win, like I saw in some other thread, bot companies probably have more employees working on cracking the game than Joymax have working on security.

<.< Like always they will come......

Joymax needs money and bots are over 60% of their profit....

Sad but true...... I hope that the populated whill stay at normal until the Euro update day... after that i wont care if it is back to normal or it isent.....

lmao if you think the PT was created for server log in and would buy one for the same price without the benefits. Those benefits make up the real PT. Being able to log in is just a tacked on bonus. Besides, the higher level you are the more apparent the 5% benefits are. Once log in issues are resolved, the log in feature will be removed and the other true benefits of a PT will be restored. MorningDew stated that the log in benefit is temporary until they can get server traffic under control. People who buy silk items but don't buy a PT still are paying customers that deserve to log in as well. Joymax understands that fact.

I wouldn't waste my money on a PT just to log in when the majority of my friends can't log in and play because of server traffic.
