I don't play the game but I know it too :roll:
I stumbled on some report in the Internet(like this:http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/12/05 ... -archeage/) a few day ago, basically bitching about bots, exploits, the queue , and a p2w concept and other stuff which brought the game down.

For me it sounds like ROM(from the side of the problems) with just some new ideas. I tried to download it but I hadn't enough free space on my laptop which will resolve hopefully today.

From the view of boting with MM is seems there are only 3 options:
1.) Get past Hackshield which will be fixed sooner or later.(the way through we could wrap into a LUA DLL but even than....)
2.) Using a packet-bot which simulate AA and Hackshield, I think because of this Admin added the socket stuff.
3.) Using a bot like in real life with visual recognition (which I built some stuff in the other MM version).

2 has the problem you have to decode the whole communication between them, extremely low CPU usage because you don't need open the client. You can easily run multiple instanced at the same time.

3 has only limited applications and adding new stuff is hard and the whole thing need some CPU Power and you need to run it in foreground but on the other hand there is no way to close this as an exploit because no code of the other side is involved.


Some other stuff their were some report that on lunch day some other guys had bots ready on that day is that true(or they just talking about the planting script)?

..I'm surly the one who post the most these days.
Anyway like I promised I took a look on the game to see/test what can I do AA seems to be a lot for my old laptop there is not much what I can do until the latop restarts because he got too hot. I won't go to far into it because like I said ROM cured me from MMO with griefing and grinding

So I can only give a first impression for the moment:

Story: Seem much better than in DP/ROM but I must see how they go into quests since it is a asia grinder I have a bad feeling e.g NW has tremendous good videos about their story but the quest I done in it I can't remember one of them.

Character creation:
DP/ROM/NW have all more and better options sure the graphic is better but I didn't found one option with which I can change the body and not the face beside through race and gender. In the end my char looks like 15 year old girl(yeah I did this time a female first) which is a member of street gang which has too thick chops.(I couldn't make the hair blond) :lol:

Other stuff:
Beside Hackshield what first jump into my face as annoying is you are only allowed 4 chars peer server and 6 chars in total which if you think how many combination you have and also in the future really not much.
That the servers aren't separated by language isn't for me bad because I can English but their are enough people afraid of even say hello in English

You actually only need 1 character, you can lvl all classes to max on a single character and change it's class pretty much any time you want, for a small fee of course. the resurect NPC can do the change and they are everywhere.

I can think of only a couple of things where alts are useful.
If you have land in different maps you can leave an alt at each spot to quickly change char and harvest crops.
To get higher level crafting on many professions, since it is limited to the number of professions you can max per character.

Crafting isn't needed though and you can use portals to jump from map to map so even those reasons aren't good enough to justify having alts.
Remember no matter you do in life to always have a little fun while you are at it ;)

Yeah that with the classes I realized a little later but from experiences I know that when you introduce more races and fraction the player wants to try out everyone so putting things right at the start at its limits isn't a super smart move. NW/DP started also with 5 slot NW has now I thing about 20 and DP I don't know 30+?!

I think AA is a dead game too much stuff from MMO like Everquest and ROM are into the game.
Most annoying is that all land is taken and so the board is full of complains about it. There exist a hack basically for everything goldsellers take the land when it become free remotely without even need to be in the near. On http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/mmo/arc ... -exploits/ I can see what hack become "available".

There is also a free bot what does similar things which I planned.
I played AA now until 20 I don't think I will do anything farer I think admins suggestion for waiting for the next game would be wise.

I also read the AA board the last days it is .........insane really I knew it from the beginning that AA will suffer from the same problems that ROM did like: high vs low, exploits(dupes), AH manipulation, selling in-game goods for real money, putting players against each other for making money(the company).On top of that there is land griefing and so on it make me laugh angry and sad the same time.
