just get a few lv 20s the first day and start bot trapping lol

There is.. I've seen a semi-functional 6 euro 2 chinese party going 24/7 at eye peak in my server, the cleric has a script that selects party members to buff them with str int etc.
they were probably the first level 90s on oasis.
but yeah, I doubt that random people partying on Gaia together will be able to bot an effective (if I may use that word) euro party at low levels.

It's been half a year since the previous server (Hera) opened. Botters from other servers who feel they can't take the fortress will surely give it a try in Gaia. It's hopeless for legits to control the server.

A good headstart would be to move to the next server after Gaia IF it opens fairly close after Gaia. That way, you'll get botters competing in Gaia that are discouraged to start over again in this new server.

That, with dedicated loyal players (preferably who have worked together before) and a charismatic leader, you might get a shot at creating a second Venus.

And don't forget to go Euro.

as the cap gets higher and higher, the chance of a legit server goes down. i dont think we would of suceeded in Venus if the cap was 90 instead of 80. higher cap means less hardcore legits. 60 cap we were able to hold off the bots from xian. 70 cap avalon on xian scammed and kept the bot unions weak as hell. at time goes on, key players quit. 80 cap, xian was no longer saveable. venus was the logical choice. satern came 1st and took all the excited bots. venus came 2nd and by then all the hardcore bots were on satern. we did not announce our move until after we were already on venus. that was one of the keys to our victory. bots move to new servers for pvp and for the rush of the server opening. knowing that going to venus would give them pvp with avalon would of attracted too meny. we kept our plans under the radar and when the time came, we took the server.

90 cap it will be 2x as hard. most great pvp legit players are happy with there server. leveling 90 levels just to get back to where they are is a waste for them. the best Gaia can hope for is a hybrid bot/legit guild taking the fortress. No pure legit guild will take it. Without the fortress as a symbol, no legit movement/revival is possible.

100 cap, no new server should even dare to think about being legit. but by that time i suspect they will begin to merge servers instead of adding new ones like they did on ksro.

Joymax has skrewed the legits. Venus is the best a legit player can hope for, and even Venus falls short of what this game was supposed to be like. Jobbing is dead and the motivation to grind is not there if i know there is no kick ass pvp at the end of the grind.

private servers are our best hope for the future.

Nah, Hera had way more people rooting for it to be the 2nd Venus but they lost FW because they got way disorganized when it was time for FW, Gaia doesn't have near the support or people moving there, so it won't become a 2nd Venus..

Plus Venus isn't that great, I mean there are still bots in that server, the only thing is that legits own the fortress..plus rarely pvp, trades etc.

and who are u to know wat happened on Hera? We didn't exactly get disorganized. The fact is JM was being gay to us and released FW about a month after it was supposed to. This gave bots a chance to catch up. I really hope they do not do the same to Gaia. This time on Gaia they have advantages though: no ExoKill, people who know wat they're doing (Evil_Mage, Genocide, Reddv, Xepher, etc), and there may not be 2 major bot unions coming like hera had.

The fact is that on hera just one party levelled up and at fw you were 8 players against 40
