What I did before Crush got me prem is just log in when traffic is nice, then stay logged in. Make sure you go afk at a place with not a lot of people (like not in town) or else you'd dc.

It's gone really bad. The server usually has a timeframe where it becomes populated, but over the past couple of weeks it's been full 24/7.

Seems to have lessened, then. According to Rev6, optimum hours are between 10PM and 9AM. That's usually when I'm on.

It is because a bot that allows you to use clientless has been reopened.

Unfortunately yes you are, as long as I tried to keep playing without premiums, tickets, and the like, I couldn't take it anymore (along with a host of other Venus BS) so if I am going to shell out $20 a month, it is going to be for something I enjoying playing and can relax with friends and get *wait for it*..................actual real customer service and a company that listens to it's community (especially when that community is 11 million X $15 = $165,000,000 - I think that is more than the Jangan Fortress brings in a week LOL

ive changed my tactics involving server traffic.

b4: try once. stop caring.

now: dont try at all. continue not caring.

I will start logging back in when jmax does another legit bot ban (heh like that play on words) but what I mean is when they legitimately make an effort to ban more than 21 botters as in the 4/14 Venus ban. When they decide that "it's really okay" to ban a bunch of high paying customers who cheat, it is okay to ban the gold farming characters from the companies that your in bed with, it is okay to clean your servers up again and leave the botters banned and not un-ban them with an "oooops we just banned 50 of our highest paying customers and we gotta undo this now!"..........or a simple solution would be to change the TOS to say; "we have decided to allow the use of bots and third party programs to play Silkroad Online because we have found that 90% of our customer base bots and we are only concerned about our bottom line. The exception is the strange Venus server where only 50% of the players bot but that is an anomaly and has little impact on our bottom line" signed and sealed ...end of revised TOS. Enjoy the game.

Slipknot03 thats what i thought when i got my job, but once youve earned the money, youll look at the bot ridden, dying game and think wether or not its worth it, face it, its not exactly cheap, if JM would make a premium server, id use it, i doubt people would make premium goldbots.
