IRO RESTART Maintenance

August 25th 4:30PM PDT

 

RE:START will be undergoing a short maintenance today at 4:30PM PDT to implement the following:

• Enabling all castles on all realms for WoE Test Event (which is scheduled for 6:00pm PDT)
• Anti-bot program update The files we received were mismatched and did not create a stable client in testing pre maintenance. Were staying with the same client files this week while the issues are sorted out.

Downtime is expected to be short.

Really?

 

Are you sure?

 

Can't you make the maintenance after the WoE? So if it get any trouble with the new anti-bot measures, it would not affect the test?

You should not get affected unless you are not using the legal client to log in

yes, sure.

But if the whole thing went south, what happens?

They want to make it pre WoE so there are lower stress on servers at the WoE with less bots...

Have popcorn ready and see how bot bypass within 1 hour... opposite already make automated script to counter back.. watch show

There will be a reward?

[brunobaruc1]

I support the idea of doing maintenance for bots every 3-5 days those mofos are really anoying, havent got any single buff from some priests or acos, bcs they dont event talk, they are bots, so is better if u put them out, i like to talk to people and meet people to play, and most dungeons are full of just freaking AI Robots   also, its always nice to have rewards, mostly since i cant attend WOE events bcs i work at that time  ,  keep up the good work      

[LionelFaylard]

@Campitor Is this what our new Anti-Bot update will look like?

Lets hope the solution is sophisticated/different enough so it takes the same (or more) time to crack up. Time will tell

RE Bots - they are ruining our lives, and are hurting the market prices for items, and farming the hell out of useful maps.

These people don't care, and they justify it by saying, others are doing it and i am only "making the playing field even"... well not really.

 

Anyways, are you not able to implement a recaptcha to prevent bots from logging in. Google provides a free one which you can imbed in http pages, so maybe the login app, can link users to that before authenticating. Googles recaptcha is very sophisticated in terms of how it prevents and detects bot analysis, I think it does interesting things like capturing response time to answers, and movement speed of mouse.

 

So what you could do, which shouldn't cost too much dev time is the following.

 

1. When I launch the ragnarok app, the play button will take me to warportal captcha login page.

2. Once i confirm the captcha, you store a token on your server against my UID to say, this person has authenticated.

3. The app is constantly checking once launched (every 30s) if the authentication has been enabled, and will then take you to your regular login page.

4. Once the user disconnects, that token is cleared.

 

That token cannot be recreated by hackers, its something you have on your system.

The http recaptcha can't be faked, as it uses interesting hueristics to determine botness,

 

I 100% guarntee that your users will NOT have any problem with this. your userbase will 100% accept the 2m extra to login, if we can ensure there are no bots.

The files we received were mismatched and did not create a stable client in testing pre maintenance. Were staying with the same client files this week while the issues are sorted out. Mount block is properly working on WoE castles and WoE will start at 6. Servers will be open in about 3 minutes.
