I dont really understand these people that are aganist botters, i mean i dont bot right now, and personally i dont give a shit if thousands people bot, ok, sometimes they take full resps and? there are jail system, you can always kill them, or if you are not a complete dumb you can find lot's of dungeons clear of botters.
Reduce mana/health regene? what for? do you think this will stop the botters? i dont think so, and with these regene rate is such a fun to fight and hunt without the tought to carry shitloads of manapots for a knight or gmp for a mage.
If there are more then 1k player online is obvious that this server works fine as it is Talaturen is not a stupid he have experience in making Ot's.
