Just wondering about bots...

The GM's are very nice and active and respond faster than any other game I've played. There are bots, but the GM's do a very good job killing them off. Lvling is like any other MMO, some consider it hard, some consider it easy. Don't count on reaching the lvl 105 lvl cap, you need WAY too much exp. After 90, there's a soft cap, meaning the exp you'll need to lvl up skyrockets. Logging in is pretty easy, unless you try to log into west archosaur (lag central because of the merchants).

How do you report a bot? I tried the consult online GM thing, and it popped up a box that said to type and had "I'm stuck" pre-filled. But I couldn't change the text to something else.

As for server traffic..Lost City(the PvP server) has never "denied" me a connection. For the PvE ones(Sanctuary and Heaven's Tear) u'll need to wait a response from some1 there

Same for me in Sanctuary.

And Welcome. b:pleased

never have login problems
this game has extremely few crashes compared to others ( i personally havent had one in weeks)
bots are fairly well handled, havent seen a spam bot in arch on HT in a while, and grind bots are reported fairly well
soft cap depends a bit, but most would say levling is quite fast till 7x

Unfortunately yeah but characters are not shared between servers. You'll have to make a character again in case u decide to change. As for which server u should go to...
It's not that much lag anyway no matter which one u pick(except certain places like West Archosaur that is the commercial district of the game. Tons of player set up shops and ppl checking them all the time). So first choose if u want to play in a PvP(Lost City) or a PvE(Sanctuary and Heaven's Tear) server. If u pick PvE I don't know which of the two is better. Sorry that's all I can help with

okay, since i play silkroad i can compare

GM's - often ban wrong people for stupid things or just because a person got reported too much, but actually listen to you sometimes, and are active in comparison to SRO. Of course, they do try and get money outta ya for the cash shop stuff by making all the exclusive event prizes and later selling that same thing in CS, but thats alright - its F2P game, and the money still has to come from somewhere.

BOTS - WAAAAYYYY less...no agbot, isro and stuff, no freakin parades of bots in hotan and no DC when you tp to hotan or any other city - way more fairness, if you could call grinding for hours fair hehe.

GRINDING - taking in account that botting is a sure way to get banned and i dont even know of any bot for PWI, it will take longer, but speaking in absolute values, i'd say about the same as sro...maybe faster because of all the quests being more heavily rewarded.

NO TRAFFIC PROBLEMS - not like in sro, where i usually had the sroserverlist running and clicked untll the damn spot opened(no verification code either and no need to download noDC/testosterone). Also, all premium items can be traded in game, and item mall(cash shop here) stuff can be bought with coins that you can in turn buy for ingame money.

All in all, I switched almost completely from sro now (had 78 ice/light/bicheon sword nuker on mars), and i never regretted it. The main thing I advise is that you take a good read through the guides on classes. Simply speaking, archers(rogues and chinese bow combined) pwn in pvp except against clerics, have crazy range, both magical and physical attacks, but have the problem of either low hp or a bit low evasion depending on the build. Venos(no analog in sro) are very rich(can do bosses alone, again no analog in sro, not like looking for isy half the day, there are way more bosses and dungeons and only venos can sometimes solo them). They get a crazy pet later on if they have 20mil to spare, but are themselves VERY vulnerable to distant attacks due to low hp, but have excellent melee defense buffs. Barbs(full str shield/sword and some bard like buffs) and clerics(aka force mastery but way better with attack skill and shields plus the euro cleric skill) are always in demand, and blademasters(full stf glaive) are good for stun, and are quite a ranging class fighters depending on the weapon they use. Wizards(well...wizards) are damage freaks(no invisibility thank god, and unlike in sro, wizards are a bit more long lasting..that is, by about 3-4sec hehe and dont always get 1 hitted by xbow rogues(aka archers here)) but again have to run around the most, have low hp and physical defense(depending on the shield skill they use) and are archers' favourite PK prey.

Yes their are bots... I was in my 20's , and seen two venos going botTastic! , kinda wild watching them roam and loot and Steal kills, ... Reminded me of Glider for WOW... very smooth.. so yes theirs a bot out their. but as a good neighbor i felt it was only right to keep the game as fair as possible and report them... the gm responded 20-30mins later and watched em for few mins, asked me cpl questions... and POOF... their were gone!.... Thanks GM's for the decent timed response and Swift Accurate Action.... I Love Capitalizing Every Word... lol GL HF... still new too the game.. on pvp ofcourse... not sure if im just gonna reroll on the new PVP server this morn... trying to figure out the Characters... tried Cleric... Nice.. Tried Veno... like it alot, but dont like how i cant heal myself lol... ok gl hf..
