I'm only on page 2 here of 28, so I'm sure there's been thrashing of this statement, which won't be surprising.

I figure that you all were faced with a choice of obtaining expensive equipment and/or bandwidth leases so that people could continue unchecked, or do something. Producing your own bot in-house wouldn't have helped with that, because so long as there was a no-cost option, people would take the no-cost option and still leave you hanging with the increased hardware / network demands.

I sincerely wish it didn't take debilitating server lag for you all to understand that you can't allow cheaters to overrun your systems.

Now, would you PLEASE do something about the 0 population city accounts where people spent money, but have been long gone for 1-2 years? That way you can stop or severely cut back the frequency of the NPC purges. Thanks!
