Tikie,

If NC is doin somethin, we will be happy to know abt it. But I am afraid they are not coz, I still see lotsa bots in Oren. When Capt came back, I felt the diff. in few days where there were not much of bots seen anywhere in LOA. But now its not the case.

Happy Hunting!!

stupid bots \./ ....TY NC SOFT for not doin a thing bout the bots,i love havin drop theifs,bots that hit the same mop then walk away... TY AGAIN NC SOFT


NC dont have a clue what

NC dont have a clue what they're doing
I've just returned to the game after a few years and wanted to make a trial account to see how the game is doing before I renewed my old account.

they're going to not allow trial accounts with the intent of 'hindering the creation of bots'.
unless they're actually doing something about the cheaters IN THE GAME, then the only people who are going to be PAYING for a NEW account are the botters themselves!

The only people this regime stops from wanting to enter the game is REAL PLAYERS.

if the initial 10$ payment IS the equivalent of buying lineage from a shop, then we should be paying 50 cents MAX for these outdated graphics and sounds and shoddy support.


its all about the money >.

i hope that it doesnt get to

Cosa's picture

i hope that it doesnt get to that extent... if players stop playing.. then i think bots would too... hopefullyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bots get banned before all the legit players leave... a lot have left already :(


If all the (legit)players

If all the (legit)players stopped playing, the game would survive. The legit player base these days is small compared to the cheating population. There will always be people that want to get the upperhand on their competitors, and will buy items/money/characters from the bots.
Whats funny is the people that buy them from bots do it so that they can be stronger than the bots when really all they are doing is supporting the bots.

Banning the accounts isnt working. They have to stop them from being able to access the server with their 'programs' running. No programs running in the background means no bots, no cheaters, no hackers, no problems. As long as they can still get their programs up, they will continue to bot and hack. They will continue to cheat. They will continue to win and piss us all off. Even if they are banned 100 times.

Yes it does suck, but it is

Yes it does suck, but it is a small price we all have to pay for ppl that do this botting


Why should we have to pay

Why should we have to pay MORE of the price for botters? Thats the most ridiculous thing NC has done. I have a solution: BAN THE BOTTERS!!! Its not hard to see who's botting, and when you have 300 people reporting the same botter, well, get a clue. o.o


Gwen, The fee only applies

Rooella's picture

Gwen,

The fee only applies to new accounts - so when they ban a bot - if the bot owner wants to create a new account - he has to pay $10... making it more expensive for botters.

I totally agree Gwen!! I

CageMage's picture

I totally agree Gwen!! I really don't understand why it is so hard for NCSoft to just BAN them. Yes! They will create another account and have to get a new KEY!


I would think that, if you

Tikie's picture

I would think that, if you already have an account, then all you would have to do is to re-activate it, and not have to "re-buy" it.
Although, I'm not sure how that would work considering the new Play NC account thing that came up not to long ago.
The way I understood it, a "New" account and the $10 thing was the equivelant of goin to the store and buyin' the box, as you would for a new game that is only bought in stores.
If one was to already have "bought" the game, and deactivated it, then I would think reactivation would be like simply re-installing it from cd.
I duno how this works w/NC though .. just my thoughts ..

P.S.
If you haven't already .. vote on the latest Poll yo !!
A.S. all the way !!

Yep, it only applies to NEW

Yep, it only applies to NEW accounts.


To my knowledge, bot accnts

SvatCat's picture

To my knowledge, bot accnts are made to make real time cash money. They make game money (adena) and sell it for real cash in life time. So its nothing they loose or 10$ is not a big deal for them when they make money of it. But somethin has to be done abt it.

Happy Hunting!!

They should make it 500$ to

They should make it 500$ to make a new account, then see how many bots will return.


Bit harsh on everyone else

Bit harsh on everyone else though. I suggest they just get cracking with the bot-banning or bot-prevention. Heck, they have daily updates for all I care, if they want to change something to make bots 'dead' till they crack it.

D2 used something where it would download a small program at random times that would scan to see if the memory was being modified to hack or bot.


Valo - increasing the money

SvatCat's picture

Valo - increasing the money may reduce any new players too apart frm Bots. But as Ingen says, something has to be done abt detecting Bots and banning them in a continous manner.

If NC cant gaurd their servers, then no point in having one.

Happy Hunting!!

Seems to me NC would have

Tikie's picture

Seems to me NC would have trouble guarding a Bag of Wet Hair .. o.0

I know for a fact they are not that hip on banning bots as I went round and round with Monitor104 and GM Arbu. about a certain bot who at the time was in Succ. morph, and now runns around in Black Knight!
All the proof was there, and the Monitor had even agreed with me at one point. After taking it to the GM .. nothing was done or said again. aside from the infamous "We cannot discuss blah blah blah other accounts blah blah blah, Our team is looking into the matter and will deal with it accordingly Blah Blah Blah ... have a nice Day."

So .. as far as NC ACTUALLY doin' something about the rising bot population .. I wouldn't hold your breath .. you'll die. But then I guess ya wouldn't hafta worrie bout the bots then eh?
