Why? why? why?
it was a nice 2 week bot vacation, no pm no mail, and now all come back if juji wasn't do anything for stop botting :(
Hello All,
Character creation has been temporarily disabled on all servers to address issues with botting. We will update you when character creation will be available again.
Thank you for your patience!
I hope you make something useful for bot, or every1 will be disappointed about you.
Now that the logs have been analyzed and countermeasures setup, it should resume being quiet on the automation scene! Good job L2 programmers/network engineers!
Otherwise, you hear that sound? It's the revving of millions of i386 dx2 computers ready to execute automation and invade the servers Yikes! Business as usual.
I would like ask you that what was the effect to disable the creation if the bot status has not changed? For example, two weeks ago I have seen same bots at Harnak in 24/7... I already sent some tickets around middle of July and happend nothing. Some promises, they will see what is the case, but happend .... surprisingly: nothing!
I only found an effect of this creation disable action: some ppl away from the game because they were unable to create their first character or mentee/box chars. Bots are untouched yet.
So, a bit sarcastic in words: I was not dissappointed.
Sometimes I feel that you are involved in the persistence of the bot hordes. I hope this is not the real case.
before u close adrenaline and ppl just move to another program, here is what ll be the next one if ppl arent already using it, please close it too http://www.adenabuddy.com/
and please dont ban me or give me infraction points, i m just trying to help, u guyz need information.
btw, keep the good work, i came back to ncwest cos u guyz decided to clean ur mess, i was sick and tired of u just screwing with the legits but since u start to do with the bots i m really happy, gogo ban them all!
OMG plz i think the 2 weeks free of bots make them try to recover lost time its imposible go to any low lvl place plus a lot mail selling adena not to mention the chats and pms i cant believe its imposible to fix some like if some one say something like .ru automatic ban or something like that and just 10 min log in alligator/seaofspore or any other place and will be happy banning all these bots maybe try to ban ips not so hard ban them by ip but they really screw the game.
The NAIA server lags as hell, random DC's on random characters - even 1 client when running 2 clients may DC and the other may not.
Whatever has been done to prevent the bots - if anything that is?!? - it has been circumvented fairly quickly.
Yesterday no funny names and apparent scripted actions appearing in Talking Island village.
Today swarming with randomly generated names, and botted players, doing the exact same things, following the exact same routes - on coordinates by decimals, and as such its now again impossible to do anything, since they swarm all areas from lvl 1 and up, making quests take 50 times longer, since you have to battle the bots to every quest mob. Hell even the training dummies in TI are swarmed!!
If you guys really mean anything with this, you should start watching TI village and detect those scripted actions... because right now, it sucks again... sorry to say - but thats the reality!
I played for 4 hours last night and didn't see 1 bot, I didn't need anything from town so no spam bots either, and now I can create my new buffer which I will level with pockets and in unbotted areas. For me, I just avoid those botted areas, don't need to go there. Out of site, out of mind.

Just because u dont see it, doesnt mean that it doesnt affect the game ROFL
They still all online ingame. Start to ban their mains! or nothing will change.........
post more fraps from 8+ Months ago lol..
NCWest actually did something since then and guess what there's no more active pvp script usage anymore, ppl got the message that they no longer could get away with it and anyone that tries it nowadays takes the 1 way express trip to banana island.
Hope you like my summary cause it seems you have been livin under a rock the last few Months to not be aware of any of this :)
unless ofc you want to claim that there's still active pvp scripting going on as then show some current proof cause knowing the methods used by NCWest on how to detect such activity there's really no escaping the banhammer anymore.
ps, the same type of fraps can be posted from any server / clan be that Chronos / Naia / Zaken / Freya prior to when the new anti pvp script measurements from NC were put in place so don't try to make this a "Nova" specific thing or try to paint my replies as a look a Nova clan member defending his clan type of nonsense ;)

The bots are back, and hard to avoid now with the lowered mob exp, forcing you to do the quests, which is where all the bots are of course. I'm trying to level up a sub/dual on my dagger alt, and boy, do I regret starting it now, with all the bots trying to make up for lost time. "Rent's coming due boys!"
How do you can compete in this game with a guy that gain 5b( or more, who knows) every day because of swarm of bots?
Using a full credit card?
By going out, working hard to get a well-paying job, then legit-donating to match him dollar-for-dollar. Yay, p2w!

They have logs of transactions. A quick report should quickly determine any suspicious activity. Someone out there is making money off NCWests property, and it goes unchecked for long periods of time.
The snake continues to get fat and retain its head. Business as usual!
time to close toon creation again, too many pms followed by emails of rmt sites.
plus, i m was doing great at horse chase, but now heauehauehauehau only auto toons.......
If you think closing charter creation will make a difference now, you are sadly mistaken. I guarantee every bot company out there has already created lots toons as a backup in case it gets shut down again. You need to wake up. Your posts are worthless.

I'm sorry but you have some kind of problem. Please get help!! I'm not RMT or P2W but I do buy some NCcoins here and there, I'm sorry you can't afford them but don't take it out on me. Not only are your post worthless but also inappropriate.
