Ohh you mean you come like a hardcore botter. I see hmmmmmmmmm

Deacon-bacon - Harcore botter watch out he come to takla soon..

If this bot detecting thing keeps working after Takla is released, then say goodbye to the majority of the 70+ botters. We all know they will start hardcore botting to get to 80.

There was only one person who responded b4 you that completely dissed jm. I don't think this comment was necessary. On topic, thumbs up 4 jm. Holiday gifts 4 us all!

Good idea to tag botters in-game, but not red. Then anytime someone is a murderer, everyone will think you're a botter and treat you as such. Botters' names should be a different color, maybe yellow or something.

Those who botted up to 70 and are fully farmed, are forced to play the game by the rules now. The common botter excuse that you don't have a life if you don't bot will be something they have to eat up if they want to keep leveling.

Sure it wold have been better if JM had come out with this bot prevention earlier so alot more people would have been caught. But with the new level cap update, I really hope this will either scare away or make botters uninterested to keep playing the game. And for those that stay, its time to learn how to kill mobs if the want to keep up with the rest of us.

I think they listed a few accounts on the main website. Or maybe it was for a previous banning. I recognized some names so I'm a little happy =)

I noticed no gold bots at the Bunwangs. Yipee! They all seem to be gone. But still, there are player bots, the botting chars of real 'players' with guilds and pets and stuff, they are still running loose. And also notice how much it is easier to log in these days?
Thanks JoyMax!

Replenish · Post by **Replenish** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:15 pm

Just been on the ice and even though there were still a couple of botters (south east to south west corners) there seemed to be more 'real' players than bots which is a first.

Nice work Joymax, GM's etc

Black_Mamba · Post by **Black_Mamba** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:20 pm

I logged in just after the 10 min inspection when the patch was applied and the first person I saw was Cleanser, who I'd ksed for nearly 4 whole levels without him complaining once. I ksed him cuz I got full exp off all his kills and he was so weak it was like having a room to myself all day lol

But he wasn't botting today, so maybe they've managed to finally blocked the bot itself from connection... for now anyway :roll:

OMG everything is soooo empty

blahblah · Post by **blahblah** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:42 pm

well, it says that the accts are already banned. I'm not sure about this...

i am online right now botting, just as i was yesterday and i didn't get banned...i wonder how this tracking thing works?

unless they do bans later and we'll see if im banned then

but hey there not grinding

ya it is very funny. I made a stall next to BlackLabel saying [<--- Guess who's afraid of ban?]
At least MagiC still managed to kill isyu even when Lord_Glavie spawned. LOL @ corrakkas who was pissed cuz he couldn't tank any. OWNED.
EDIT: I have never been able to get online easily at this peak hour. Finally, I can. I don't think I've seen a single gold bot at bunwangs (usually there are like 8-10 24/7 bots), and I think JM is doing a great job, though they did promise 1500

Nah, it's all good.

EDIT 2: 1400 more? WOW Joymax FTW!!

Well if the gm's actually watch the forums (which it looks like according to the stickied "silkfiles thread") then:

Thanks Gm's ! - made my day

Cool,i know about the issues with lagging,and other irritations that bots cause.

But i'm relieved to see the they do something about that on Sro.

Maybe now i can figure out which server to join...

I've seen less bot's in cave and where I train to which is great, I just realised they did 2.9k bans that's actualy very impresive, anyone who thinks otherwise, well.. w/e lol. Gj every week your making me proud now ^^.

This is awsome. I'm finding it a bit easier to log in even during peak times. Good job Joymax. I'm looking forward to more bans.

Best B-day/X-mas present ever. We love you J-max ^^ First you give us better customer rep by starting an office in the US, you get an actual GM to post on your main forums, and now you start really cracking down on the bots. We love you ^^

OMG MR_ARIGATOU IS FINALLY GONEEEEE
