Oh great...
Why they dont ban all botters first and then announce that newsment?
Now every player bot can make a break till the "massive-bot-ban" is over.
Its cool that a lot of gold bots will be banned, but they come back... and that really fast.

Anyway... its better than nothing. :love:

They've already made the list, they are just waiting to release it, like the other lists. If they ban botters + altered clients again, alot more people will be banned then just botters. Seems like so many people I know use the no-d/c client ...

But still, bot ban :wink:

So when its true they have to ban 90% of the player?
Or did the list only consists of "non-silk-buyer" bots?

Sorry for this stupid question... lol.

Stupid JM, instead of telling to all the world like this. Just ban 1st then release the list. Now every babysit botter will have a break for 1 week...

Couldn't agree more...

PLVL.com : But we had a deal ... the last ban we lost a few bil gold on our main gold holder accounts

JM : Yeah we are sorry, I guess we'll have to make a new update so that all the gold buyers stock up on gold to buy the new items.

jPLVL.com : Damn right son.

Blablablalbla /bored

jm :hey we are making a fake ban list we need your help.

plvl.com:ya im listening do i get anything out of this.

jm: all u need to do is remake alot of fake acocunts dont bot them dont put gold and we just ban them your reward we will never ban your real accounts.

jm: um ya like everytime we mention massivebot ban list we fake it and ban only some botters that dont buy silk. Ok we have a deal

haha yeah... Log into the game, and get one of those event popups (like from so-ok):

I'm of course leaning towards bot ban. It might be small, it might be big, but I'm sure it will happen, and I will be happy. At least it's something.

LOL hell no... They use *an image* of GameGuard to fake they are using ANY sort of security, but in reality, they don't.

actually they used GameGuard, but i think they stopped paying for it and made perfect soil for cheat programs

lololololol as if sro would do a massive ban like this. they have said it in the past and only banned like 20 goldbots or so on each server.

As everyone here that has played during the last "massive bans" knows, the bots will be back, but the servers will atleast be a little more free for about a month.

Well.. at least it looks nice.

Of course, this ''Bot Ban'' is going be like the other ''Bot Ban'' where the whole patch gets hacked within 4 hours if it even takes that long. Then we'll be back to where we started again. They still even warn people like last time, as if this is really going to work for more than some days to a week.

Probably

Okay..If Joymax DID do a massive (I mean MASSIVE) bot ban, I, inkblood, am getting a haircut

I'll even post a Before-and-After picture to prove it

Btw, am I the only one who noticed the title of the post is "War WITH Bots" instead of "on" or "against." So does that mean it's "war with bots... against legits"?

I think the war with bots is Engrish

well i think if they constantly just post this message, it will work too. why? well most have already fled and gone offline clearing up server traffic. so if they post every so often people will get scared log off and we can log on. then when they start seeing nothings happening they'll ignore warnings and thats when they do a real one! and boom all gone xD

it's going to be mostly goldbots because those are easiest to spot with names like 20320824 and aosdjfao

What they should do is make a name filter where you can't have nonsensical names or only numeric names. Then, goldbots would have to make more REALISTIC names, which means they would have to go through the trouble to do so, which means they would probably say "ahh **** it!" and not even bother. And the ones that do would still be running around myangyangs like crazy and easily spotted.

Yea i +1 for that.. those who make gold bots just punches the KB and click enter then start the bot.. simple.. But if they had input a filter they had to THINK of a name wich has a meaning, wich they might not bother to do!

Alright GM!! Start banning everyone who are using Bots.. Illegitimate players / cheaters should be permanently banned.. The server traffic is consuming lots of my time in order to simply connect.

yay the servers will be populated for like 2 days. then back to crowded :banghead:

What iSRO really needs is in game moderators aka GM thats active in game.
A massive bot ban is a temporary solution and it would not last at all.

Thankyou for the info,
I've played this game short time (lvl54) , and I've never seen haxor bots in such numbers

The fact that a engine like Steam that host C/S (counterstrike)has better or any security' makes me feel for the people that have played this game for years .
BOTS SUX

Yep they did it again..."massive bot banlist".now every gold company will have to re-make 1k gold bots on each server...and since gold bots lvl 1 dont exactly drop the same as lvl 80's, they will need even more.Let's have fun tryingto log in at 5am CET guys.efing koreeans.
