Anti Bot Manifest

SilkroadOnline is very good game that gained popularity in short period of time. It is a game that gives a lot of entertainment to players and great amount of money to its creators. The only problem is that it was designed by people whose knowledge about taking care of their clients is easly saing weak. This company is supposed to be modern and well managed. It is honored by Korean decision-makers. And still - they are so inefficient, and can`t take care of the basic problem within their clients community. This problem, if it isn`t quickly solved, will lead to complete break of the game. Also, in far perspective it will lead to losing profitability of the whole project.

In some way, this problem is using bots by dishonest players. The number of these cheaters is still increasing, and it makes honest players turn to other games. The problem, unfortunately, isn`t about mentally immature players, that want to cheat.

The real thing is that Joymax allow them to do it!

Joymax on its webpages says clearly what punishments will be for cheating inside the game, including bot usage. Sadly, Joymax is only crying loudly about it - but don`t put their threats to use!

In practical manner, Joymax is doing nothing about fair-play. In the game it is easier to encounter 500 characters driven by bots than one GM. I`ve been playing SilkroadOnline for six months and never seen any GM activity. No one ever responds to raports send to BugReport section - not always concerning bot, but even when the case is about database security! And the complete lack of taking care of the clients is confirmed even by lists of banned players, published from time to time on the webpage. They are so short, that these numbers will not be even percent, but promille!

Joymax, with their SilkroadOnline, through their laziness and ignorance about its clients, will hit the topten of bot-friendly games. To show the problem`s scale I will publish list of 500 bots accounts - every week, until the situation will be put to normal state. I don`t expect any reaction from such patethic company like Joymax, so I`m taking justice in my own hands. From all characters gold and valuable items will dissapear. And accounts that have very valuable items or high-level characters will be saved for "Grand Finale" of my activity.

I won`t tell about my source of information about logins and passwords. I can guarantee though, that on these lists there will be specific accounts, created only by users using bots. Also, I can guarantee that whether bot will be "paid" version or cracked version, no one will be safe while using it.

If anyone in your company have used his or her brain and will move his ass to solve this problem... I am waiting for response. And I`m offering a solution of problems written below - without any costly changes or intense GM`s work:

• Liquidation of 95% actual boters population in a way that will guarantee that none of them have been punished without a cause

• Silk-Assistant list, consisting authentic players, not randomly chosen list of dishonest players, while most of them are people that don`t know a thing about this task or are using bots as well.

• Liquidation of CCF abuse connected to new kind of alchemy (Astral/Immortal)

• Pointing some critical mistakes that give access to account and password database (Yes! There is such "crack"!)

• Liquidation of trading abuse (it is connected with one line of the game`s code).

• Liquidation of DC evoke possibility (Yes! This "crack" also is used by dishonest players)

I live in Poland and I`ve been playing SilkroadOnline for six months. I`m working on practical problems of information security. A few players have helped me with this little project. I want to thank them all, and particularly - administrators of http://silkroad-online.pl. With their commitment and help with publishing my project, they showed that they are real Players. Players that, just as I do, are playing by fair-play rule.
