Thread: Name BOT on NA20

  1. #1

    Default Name BOT on NA20

    Yesturday a "Name BOT" started running on NA20. After reporting over 75 separate instances of abuse in Beginner and World chat the server pretty much lost my interest. The abuser is constantly ............................ etc. It appears there is little evony tech staff can do atm as this has being going on for over 14 hours. Hopefully, something can be created to track and deal with multiple user accounts and/or the inappropriate language used. Trying to ignore a BOT that is creating user names can be difficult to do at times. Short of unselecting that chat menu.

    The name bot appears to be generating existing user accounts but using variants of 0, 1, l, I, and other letters to confuse people. About 70 variant names so far. Since the game doesn't require email validation to create a user account, I assume the email addresses are all non-existent and therefore easily generated as well.

    He did this on na19 as well. I think it's just some player who didn't get enough attention as a kid at home so now he just spends his day on a game trying to get that attention (whether it be good or bad) from other people (even though he doesn't know them). All you can really do is report the person and block them.

    Then again, it can just be some mentally disturbed fool....

    Oh so they did! It's good to see new players in so fast again. It is not surprising it went unannounced, given the way age 1 players act every time there is a new age 2 server...
