In Tibet it is ->> F U L L <<- of bots.

ALOT OF Goldbots have been banned but there is still some around o.o
Barely any player bots got banned

28 more days, if they can continue this for 28 more days...

Hera got ignored again.

But at least we get to enjoy FW! Oh wait..

There are real player banned...sadly, 2 of my friends...and the strange thing is that they ban player not using bots, but using 3-rd program(no-dc ect)(yes, i know bot are illegal, but there is a little difference)...
I'm not saying it's right, i've never used one, even when i didn't have premium...but still banning those people instead of bots is a bit sad, because half of them are just people using no-dc to play the game, not using bot to play it for them...
Oh, whatever... i'm happy i never used one of those and i'm sad that no one listened to me when i was saying not to use them, but at least we have some progress in the game with the bot problem and the faith is not lost

Even tho JoyMax banned 500 bots or so they need to do this regularly and it will also stop most people from botting in fear that they'll get banned

[quote="Casey613"]This is Not the end and our war with the bots continues...

To. Bots : Now, time to leave!

yea 800 chars banned Pacific still full

town spammers still there I see same g old bots same place

ok this is helping

Finally they doing something good

Even though they are mostly gold bots, its making a difference. Its nearly 1pm here and I just looked at rev6 and there are servers in brown and green. Not one big red ribbon across the screen. Something is happening. And I don’t know what.

OMG this is not possible. My best friend on Xian is banned. And she is not even a botter (100%) sure. She did use a non-disconnect tool (or whatever it's named) And hasnt bought any silk in months.

This is realy messed up.

yea if u not pay them they ban u

To all those "ZOMG I might actually start playing again!" people. This is still not without precident. They did a ban like this in Dec 2006 - Jan 2007 and then did not ban the rest of the year. Joymax "can" ban when they want to. The thing is they generally don't want to. If they keep this up weekly it is a start. If they just shot their load for the year this is nothing to be impressed over. I am still here sitting and watching. Looking for a good reason not to organize something to get joymax's paypal merchant status revoked.

Um no it is not. That sort of shit has always been against the TOS. Still though I would rather they leave those people for last and ban some more deserving. But in the end your friend got what they knew they had coming. LOL joymax just wants to go after the small fry.

you have every right to be pissed off because of all the crap u went thu on xian. but this game has made a huge U turn ever since the director of silkroad got fired along with all the pro-bot **** from san jose.

i mean... 2 days after he got fired, we got capture the flag. now they did 2 ban lists 2 days apart. that has NEVER been seen before.

I think this will continue. I think the REAL war vs bots has just begun. With all the pro-bot lazy joymax employees fired and out of the way, Joymax will make a comeback.

After I got banned on xian, I was pissed. I thought joymax was the devil. But sometimes you gotta put ur anger aside and find the good in the situation. My ban was a blessing. Without my Blader on xian, nothing was holding me down on that server. It gave me the chance to start fresh on a clean new server.

Belive it or not, but we are winning the war on venus. sure 20+ other servers have failed. And yes, things still suck. But give them a chance and you might be supprised. I have always said all along. Joymax has fixed every single problem with sro "eventualy". Bots are no differnt. It may take them a week, it may take 5 years, but it will be done. They are lazy morons, not scammers and liers.

God, why do I happen to have chars on both the servers who dont get any bans (That bullshit 25 on babel doesn't count for anything). -.- Ugh.

Wow i'm freaking dreaming, Rome in green, haven't seen that since 2006 O_O

Frankly I have seen nothing showing that those in san jose were pro bot or that those that were pro bot are gone. To everything that has happened recently there are lots of probable cause. The least likely of which is that they care about the bots all of a sudden. I am not saying that is not the case. At this point all I advise it that you don't play the needy abused spouse and jupm right back into what will likely be a still abusive relationship. I am watching what is going on with some interest. I doubt I will ever come back and no I am not bitter. I am just a watcher at the moment giving warning to those who would abandon reason.



He got fired? I think I know who you are rerfering to and that surprises me a bit. Because if I am thinking of the same person then that is an odd comment coming from you. Capture the flag could have easily been a response to recent game releases to retain hemmoraging users and same with the ban list. This is really barely diff than the dec 2006 jan 2007 bans. What we have is at best a known quantity or an anomaly. Not a trend. If it becomes a trend then talk to me. Though likely by then my opinion will have changed.



Interesting that if we are thinking of some of the same people they read and post to these forums. I would like to hear what they have to say on that.



Hehe it didn't take me loosing a char to do that and I did one better. LOL I had more faith than both you and NB in joymax once. Don't take loss of faith as being bitter etc. Sure my cynicism may serve as an undue barrier to avoid wasting time on this company again. But you can't blame anyone for it. You have to admit that joymax as a whole worked hard to instill this sense of cynicism in all who share it. And frankly apart from getting more events and content sooner kSRO is not run that different from iSRO from what I understand. Which would make me think this is less to do with just the US offices and more to do with an issue with the company as a whole.



You can never win a war that is not yours to fight. That is up to joymax. It is nearly to late for them to recover. But I am still watching with some interest what they are up to. And you are right give them a chance and you will be surprised one way or another. ^_^ I gave em 3 years worth of chances and they squandered them all. That was kind of surprising if you assume they were reasonable people.

At any rate it will take alot to win me over. The guys that run PW ban botters daily. They only announce globally the player bans. But still they ban so much that some players ask them to stop globally announcing it and just post to the forums daily as the scroll makes it hard to keep up with chat. They are going out in the field talking to players and actually finding bots on their own. Till joymax does that it is all to little.

Hey dumbass it's the gold bots that fill the servers up and ruin the economy, I could give two shits less about player bots unless they run more than 1 client, then fvck them.

You guys constantly say legit vs botter, yea player bots get anoying because they're maxed out first, farmed first and usually have the nicer shit. BUT IT'S THE GOLD BOTS THAT AFFECT THE GAME THE MOST.

LOL hey dumbass it's mostly the player bots that buy the gold the gold bots farm. You bot sympathizers have no place to preach. Find someone who does not bot or buy gold. Ask them what they think. Oh wait just told you lol. Let us refrain from any more ad hominem attacks. Don't you agree?

Why the fu.ck are you calling me a dumbass, and yelling at me with your little caps lock on? Who the fu.ck do you think you are? I wasn’t complaining about it NOT being player bots. Did you even fu.cking read my post? Sure itd be nice to see those big headed assholes get banned, pretending they have accomplished anything in this game cause they had a program click a mouse and push their skill buttons, BUT im glad that theyre getting rid of gold bots at the very least. The servers are accessable again. Learn to read b4 you post, Dick! (I can name call too.)

Well I have yet to log on since the bot ban because I've been in the hospital with my wife delivering our baby (different thread). Did any high level sun botters get hit with this ban? *crosses fingers*

At a quick glance, the lists look like mostly typical gold bot names, but some do look like actual character names... I just don't recognize any of them.

JM is getting better!!

Joymax is not getting better. (Yet) Currently Joymax is doing nothing they have not done before. (still) We will have to wait and see if joymax has changed their ways/ (not likely)

look at this banned char luls

*does happy naked dance* That's what I like to see!

Joymax likes sending mixed messages

On the ban list, they should highlight, or change the color of the names who bought silk =)
