BotNuke

[Jay]

How'd that go? Do you guys notice fewer bots and spammers in game? Any of you banned, possibly wrongfully? Wondering how successful Jagex was.

[ydoC]

From what I've seen, the bot nuke did work in the sense that theres like 60-80k people online rather then 180k... However I don't think many accounts we banned, and from what I've heard, some botting websites are saying that they'll be back up eventually.

[Jay]

I think it would have been smarter for them to not announce when they were going to do it... it gave the botters ample time to hoard their cash onto their main accounts, and get as much experience as they could before the drop.

Jagex are trying to inception us

[Ebin]

any1 got banned??

[Brayden]

They've temporarily shut down rsbuddy. There working hard to get there bots back online, but who knows when that is.

[AndyIbeat]

Doubt rsbuddy will be out forever, just takes one smart alec

rs emails you to stop botting now as a warning i seen

[Jay]

Neat that RS will email you a warning. I'm sure if users realized Jagex was aware of their botting, they'd stop.

I agree. Also gave bot makers a heads up they would have alot of work cut out for them in the near future.

[Father Justin]

What a joke lmfao

[Aztec Life]

i really couldnt care less

[Ded]

pretty sure bots will be back up soon

[Oh Garrett]

A lot of people thought the nuke was going to end in a bunch of accounts being banned etc. But that was never the case, Jagex was simply changing game so bots wouldn't be able to run. I keep laughing at all the people saying oh yeah i didn't get banned i survived jagex sucks haha. If bots have been running for years i'm sure it was more important to stop future botting.

 

I also don't think bots will be coming back any time soon... I think a lot of these sites are claiming they will simply so customers don't leave the site. Imagine if you saw a post that said we aren't sure if we will be able to bypass this, sorry to any inconveniences. But i guess we will see in time.

they made it so the code is chaned every set amount of minutes, so the bot makers would have to recode their bots every few minutes. this makes it so bots wont work until one smart guy will find a way around it which will take forever to fix lol. They also made it so items arent assigned to id's anymore. so happy that botting is gone now :)

[Xpnkrockemox]

They are sending emails out to members, in the email it states if you dont stop botting they will take legal action on you.

+1 for jagex.

[x Tommmmy]

Personally, I think Jagex will loose loads of money if botting is gone for ever ( long time), so it's a bit stupid on there be-half.

 

Most people;

 

1.Bot during the day/Night.

2.Come to a few mini's after school/college/work.

3.Come to trips.

 

If botting doesn't come back soon, people who depend on bots for making cash/training, and screwed.

 

E.g Im SCREWED.

[Hayley Williams]

just hope it last

[Saint Andrew]

Gone from 200k active players to around 50k. Bot's will come back from this update, I think Scar is already back up.

[Mich-ae-l]

Oh well, :(

Pretty much, before the update, each object was assigned an ID, which was the same every single time you played the game. That's how the bots knew what was what. They've now removed that and all the objects are an index in a huge array, meaning you can't tell which is which. My guess is they're even scrambled each time you log on to the game so there's no way to log the ID's. The only bots that currently work to my knowledge are ones that use colours but they're easily detected.

Also, for you that don't believe that legal action will be taken:

 

They are paying a law firm in the USA, that way they don't have to travel from Cambridge constantly. They also have the legal right to get information about you from places such as Paypal in order to build a case about you.

 

There is also a difference between civil and criminal law, this is purely a breach of civil law. Which Jagex sues people for the damages in accordance with the DMCA. There is a fine for breaching this, which can range from $200 to $2500 per act. That's the main point, per act, each time you bot it could be costing you up to $2500.

 

Jagex are already suing botters, many have received an email with a PDF file, here's a caption from it:

I. NATURE OF THIS ACTION

1. Jagex seeks injunctive relief, damages, and other related and equitable relief for violations of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 1201 et seq., and for breach of contract.

 

 

You have been warned, they're taking it very seriously.

 

 

Here's a copy of an email that has already been sent to thousands of botters:

Jagex is going hard, they are suing 13 year olds now! There will always be bots in the game, they should just accept it.
