the game is full of bots and gold sellers, the game creatures do not ban them- and they take slots in the servers .

the game itsself is fun. Its addictive, free.. fun. what kills is and makes it un-playable are the bots and farmers in the game. these bots go around killing junk automaticly, (you pay joymax money and they use a bot program on your account for so many hours a day) meanwhile your account is running around makeing all the other player's lives suck becuase every monster that they try and kill is one hitted becuase your character is in a zone 4 levels too low, farming gold and tradeing it while its supposed to be auto leveling.

the servers have a capacity of 3,000 free players and 2,000 paid players.
for a free player to get on, there must be less that 3,000 people on the server.

bots and people making stalls take up around 2500-3100 player slots at any given time on the older servers. if you want to play- you must pay money, its more money then wow or other online games, and you must put up with bots... when i say bots, i mean you walk out the city and you not see an actual player for hours, you can go days and not see a real person.


before the bot invasion, (back a few years ago) this game was awsome, players were nice, no bots, no gold sellers... now the company does it and the game has gone down the tubes.
