Fujito interview with 4gamer.net (LONG READ)

[Alhanelem]

The Locus camps are almost entirely botted and I'm not just referring to RMT, I'm talking about average players too. West Ronfaure has also become a haven for bots, so much so that any new players may even struggle to find a monster to fight.

I know its late but, this is an asura prblem. now, every server has bots, no question about that. But only on Asura is the state of things like this. Log on Shiva and there's basically nobody in the starter areas, and when there are, it's a far cry from having to search for a monster to fight.

Log on Shiva and there's basically nobody

That is all you needed to put and that is also the reason why there are none in the Locus camps.

I forget if I've seen them on Shiva myself, yet, but I might even bet on that one having those starter area bots at times, just like other smaller places such as Fenrir do. They're thankfully not there 24/7, so might not see them at all if lucky.

Funny. There's still people here and every other server, and it's far more playable than anyone who insists on Asura thinks. I would argue its more playable with less bot interference, personally.

Service should have ended for PC at the same time.

Quit as in, I stopped paying then, and only returned on PC when it is free to login.

I completed the added Story content and didn't pay to do so.

I beg to differ. It would make zero business sense to kill off the game service when so many still play and make SE money.
