Greetings Everyone, It is with deep sadness that I present you players, and to this forum, some content that goes against the ToS of DK Online. As you all are aware of, in-game BOTs are a reality. We face it everyday. Goldsellers are among us since day one. Before I start, I would like to be clear about this: I have nothing against asian community whatsoever, but I am against the engines they are using to enhance and speed up their in game progression. As in every game, its progression between a legit player and a non-legit one, is overwhelming. Besides botting and buying gold (florins), those asian botters are plaguing our server. And DK Online is no exception. For those who visit the Free Trading District or Consignment Store, you have surely seen overpriced common items. Its obvious that those stores relate to gold buyers, which a bot buys in return for "real life money". That, added to the previous 6-year knowledge of DK Online, makes asians a threat to the future of DK Online's global launch and its success. On the 12th of March, dev team made an announcement - OFFICIAL NEWS [Maintenance] Scheduled Maintenance on 12th March (Completed) - Which in said announcement, they admit to reckon the threat of various asian players: "To make a good game environment, we will put in the effort to control them depending on our policy." Should I ask you guys... after all this info, and one week after this announcement... what is there left for the dev team to punish those who are harming DK Online, leading it to fail like so many other MMORPG's? If the dev team feels like they need to have this cancer on the servers to survive for some reason, whatever that reason might be, I beg for them to end their gold/Florin source. Ruins the economy very, very quickly, and will ruin the game before you realise. A legit player takes a day or two to farm what they can achieve in a couple of minutes, with a few mouse clicks. By doing this, I repeat, they CLEARLY go against DK Online's ToS. Also, please understand that those asian botters/goldsellers, are not into DK Online to play it for long. They just want quick cash, ruin the game, move on to another MMO, and repeat this sad process. This ruins the gameplay experience of those who actually want to play it, like we do. If this issue is not taken care of soon... us, the real community, might start packing their bags and leave. I will leave you here a clip of asian misbehavior buying gold live in their stream platform. Original VOD 4:50:00 - http://vod.afreecatv.com/PLAYER/STATION/42558539 Not to mention today's server bug-fest, sorry if this is not the place to post this, but I had to share this info with you guys. Greetings to the Turkish, Russian, American, European, Latin, and all communities from around the world. Best Regards, GloriousMage

100% agree with you ! hmmm i'm the only one confused on how could Macao have 6 Bows of spirit in this bag ? oO

Nice post! We just want to enjoy a fair game. I hope that Masang Soft will not keep ignoring those mafia of cheaters/sellers.

It really is very difficult to keep up, except that they are very toxic and live abusing power. =(

Really really sad to see these Koreans ruining the game :(

I figured this way you can find and group with like-minded players for PvP. ^^

I don't want to sound like I am defending asian players, but there are again 2 sides of a coin about their knowledge advantage. Sure, asians are way ahead of us currently because they know how to maximize their efficiency. However, they will not always be ahead. At some point, people will reach level cap and the only difference will be luck in enchanting. You could also look at it from a different angle. If asians weren't that much ahead, the rest of the server would not have access to certain items and equipment that only drop in higher level areas. Having access to these items earlier greatly helps people in their journey. If it wasn't for asians, we wouldn't have seen Spirit weapons, Dark Knight pieces and Brother/Sister accessories 2 weeks ago but maybe just a day or two ago. I don't condone gold buying/selling, but them simply playing ahead of us and selling us stuff we would not be able to get yet does not sound like an as huge problem to me as people try to make it. There are also players that have some knowledge about the game from the last release 6 years ago and somewhat from the korean server, including myself, but yet nobody complains about us having an "unfair advantage". Maybe because we are not asians? That's just racist and ignorant. Masang should just get rid of malicious activities such as botting and gold selling and let everyone enjoy the game, no matter where you are from.

It is a nice written post, but as everyone has the right for his own opinion, here is mine: - Overpriced items in shops and consignment do not necessarily belong to gold buyers. People often sell items overpriced than what you could find it from a vendor in hope that people lacking knowledge will buy them. You seriously cannot believe that someone has 2 billion florin or that the whole server combined even has that kind of wealth. The game is in no way dying. The number of concurent and total players is still rising. We just had our all-time peek 5 days ago and as I am writing this, there are 600 online players on Steam alone, excluding the Masangsoft Launcher. You may now claim "But 100 of those 600 people are bots!!1!!1!!!". No, they are not. If I had to guess, there are no more than 10 gold farmer bots online at any time. You can find bots in Twilight Forest and Twilight Basin, but those areas are very limited. I also noticed 2 bots in Hobgoblin Forest, but have yet to see any in a higher level area. Therefore, my assumption is that we don't have more than 10 of them. Without Chinese and Korean players, we would soon be able to see a noticable difference in the number of players that we see and interact with daily. It is against the ToS for them to play, MasangSoft did what they could according to their policy, which is put region restrictions and remove chinese/korean letters, as well as remove all players that had chinese/korean characters in their names. Unfortunately, MasangSoft cannot control VPNs, which chinese and korean players use to access the game even with region restictions. The state of the game is not just asians fault. It is mainly due to the racist players that plague public chats all day long and yet do the same action they complain to koreans about: automation. It is not just asian gold farmers doing it, "we" do it too, so maybe we should start with ourselves and remove the bad apples before we attack whole other nations? A coin has 2 sides and we should be looking at both of them. My 2 cents.

I would rather keep the experience I grinded that day. If you roll back from the time you said you would, it will deny everything that I have done all day yesterday, including grinding about 30% at Lv41. These little consumables you offer cannot compensate that kind of exp. Not to mention the drops I got and money I made. EDIT: Logged in to see the damage. Your compensation does not even come close to the damage that has been done. Yesterday I actually got lucky with drops and considering all the enchanting and grinding I've done, it is easily over 1 mil Florin in damage, not considering that I have to invest that time again.

Had to reset and improve the ant bot system or put GM assets to ban these bot and bot seller

Let's make some constructive criticism. - Archer does not deal damage. - I do not see my basic damage. - I do not see the damage of my abilities. - I can not see the HP of the monsters. - game made to spend money (if you want to stay strong) (p2w). - attributes of limited transformations. - Items from archers are not balanced. - few missions in the game (daily missions is a joke) - pvp that drops item, okay, but for what - I do not have skill points to distribute

I opened a ticket for an action house problem, 2 days ago, which I never had an answer for. now today more than 4 hours with problems. could activate the support channel for real-time attention.

I've seen many online mu servers, better configured than this game, what a joke this is.mu server is better than this game

+1 Agreed. Up!

The distribution of stat by race must be different , because this pvp also provides great change . We also need to give extra stat . please activate thanks

its 20 years of online gaming... nothing else.

Hello, forgive my english hehehe i'm found so many problem (problem can fix too earlie) 1 - Damage Txt Can Fix faster with developer (trust in me, all player claim for this) 2- BOTS Kor... ops, Players use and abuse with illegal program, this generate GOLD SELLER, gold seller generate inflation and money abuse. do you understand where i want mean? 3 - Staff AWAY i dont need talk about that, staff away (GMs, ADM,, watever) kill the game slowly. Log for 1 hour and go to the city, trust in me 4 - Aggro for the melee, special paladin some class is very confusion and desbalanced, but the most desbalanced is paladin. Paladin is very tank, ok, but he tank for what? he give a little damage and dont take a aggro, please give aggro for the paladin. The game is "new" and i like so much but dont let the game die like a tibia or other game.
