Anti-Shop Loader Live-Test

[D.V]

Phase 1 of the Anti-Botting Project in Testing!

Back in October, we announced a plan to restructure our in-game botting detection system. Yorumi has been working on that system (along with his other projects) and today we are getting the first LIVE test of the anti-shop loader portion onto the servers.

When regular players want to open a shop in-game, they talk to an NPC or go to their Book of Lore and click a shop button. That's how you SHOULD be opening any shop in the game! Some players do not follow the rules, and force shops to load using 3rd Party Programs. DO NOT DO THAT!


We are running the tests to make sure that regular players (who follow the rules) do not trigger the anti-shop load code. Once we know for sure that works, we can move onto the next step. Phase 1 will run for about a week.

How the Test Will Work

If you are opening shops the way the way you are supposed to, nothing will change for you! You won't notice any difference in your gameplay. If you are using a 3rd party program to directly open shops, you'll receive an error message.


Next week, instead of an error message, your account will be kicked from the game. After that, if you continue to load shops, your account will be sent to a "prison map" - a special island with a very grumpy warden who will inflict additional punishments on your account. After that... an escalating system of bans will begin. We do not want that to happen to yo

What comes next

Yorumi has been working on the quest loader and combat detection functionality, too, alongside the anti-shop loader. Those will be the next things we will test, so keep an eye on the Design Notes for news!

Haha. I bet AE will just remove this shit like they always do. If they attempt to stop botting, they'll lose all of their players, so they do this shit annually. Institute some fucking botting parameters to scare botters and then suddenly remove the measures after a day or so.

The anti-botting measure is server-sided.

If you don't care then why do you look into the client?

I remember about an year ago Artix was doing something like this. But I took a break and dunno what happened. I just saw some desing notes on it and a lot of people getting banned and unbanned after 2-3 days.
Also I am pretty sure there are a lot more ways of botting. What about something that takes a screenshot of the screen, scans it for the monster that you need to kill (in some way) and begins atacking that monster? Or something purely using Macro? People always come with a solution.

MM people will always come up with ways to bot/cheat/hack HEHE happens in every game

I believe that our coders will find a way on how to bot again safely.

There are only like 2 coders that can actually code and the rest just read off Tutorials without any knowledge...

I (HyperDerP) know how to code...
im pretty sure @MysticaMVII (Dark Mystic), @JamesRo (Le Bot), @AboodElshreef (Armjld Trainer ), and others know how to code too.

and plz go on hamachi
