Release 15.0.0
Submitted by SirRacha on Mon, 06/24/2013 - 14:46
Hello Everyone,
By now you have noticed the large number of bots plaguing the Nexus. A lot of the noisy spam-bots are gone (though not all of them), but now we have a lot of “loot bots” hanging around, waiting for players to drop things. These are the result of a new script being run by a relatively few players.
This script generates an huge number of bots that clog the Nexus and threaten normal gameplay. As a means of keeping these loot bots under control, we have made two significant changes:
All teleporting in the Nexus is disabled
All items will be soulbound until further notice.
We will also be taking actions to remove recently generated bot accounts that have been created since the release of the auto-loot bot script.
We understand that the temporary soulbinding of items will disrupt your ability to trade and we want to assure everyone that we will remove this limitation as quickly as possible. As soon as an effective means of removing the threat auto-loot bots pose to normal gameplay is implemented and/or we believe that this threat has been reduced, we will remove this global soulbinding (note: this does not include untiered items).
Please see the attached notes below, for a complete list of changes made implemented in Release 15.0.0 We sincerely appreciate your understanding while we continue to work on ridding the Nexus of these bots.
The Realm of the Mad God Team.
Here’s a complete list of what to expect as soon as Release 15.0.0 hits your Server:
-Teleporting while in the Nexus has been shut off until further notice. Details available here {link to soulbinding letter}
-All Items will be temporarily soulbound until further notice.
-Payments update: Player Gold balance will now update in game within 30 seconds of purchase confirmation.
-New anti-spam measures
-Improved stability concerning a memory leak issue in the Battle Arena with mobs that have a flashing phase
