In Eden Eternal ch 3 & ch 1 diamond there are tons of spammers in aven >.< i cant even chat to my friends for there adverts everywere offering gold for dollers >.< plz kill them

O.o just now i discovered this. LOL

So I don't think Aeria staff is doing much with this at this point. I'm just seeing more spam in in game mail and the same crappy random named spammers in town. This needs to be address with some intelligent code. X-legend isn't really intelligent enough for that I'm afraid.

The Aeria staff isn't doing much about it?

You clearly weren't around when the Gold Spammers and Botters ran rampant everywhere. They just need some time mate. It'll definitely be put under control again.

You talk as though they aren't running rampant now. It's getting worse than it was.

I was just saying that from the beginning of Open Beta to about October of the same year, We had tons of gold spammers, and they died down after that. So I'm sure this'll be taken care of again.

(Please GMs, bring back that anti-bot system where you had to enter the captcha stuff to keep playing every hour)

Well I played at launch and it wasn't that bad for me. I didn't get spam in my ingame mail. And after a year and a half this would have been dealt with more seriously. First off I wouldn't allow people to create names like ffdggsdfsawrd. It would slow down the creation of stupid bot names. That's a simple parsing solution and would stop character creation. Then I'd set up code to look at accounts that repeatedly fail to create names and lock them out.
A captcha is good, but there's AI's that can pass captcha tests now so I don't know how long they'll be viable for.

a Mail option should be included in the form, because, you know, sometimes they do that. can't tell channel from mail.

btw, CAPTCHAs would be annoying during dungeon runs and boss fights.
