Good work on handling RMT SE!!

[thunderbreak]

Haven't had a single tell for about a week now, who ever came up with the idea of anti-spam tell please give the guy a raise/promotion!! =)

Plenty of them in Malboro still.

Dont think they implemented anything, they just restricted character creation on a lot of servers. It'll be back (if not twice as bad) when the servers go up again.

I dont see the point to ingame advertisement though, if anyone wanted to use a RMT service, simply consulting google would be much quicker and easier.
It's not like anyone has ever been tempted by ingame spam like that, certainly not swayed their intent to buy or not to buy anything :/

This. I was noticing a lack of tells on sargatanas. Meanwhile a friend who was transfering back here and wanted a name change was monitoring it being closed to new characters, and shortly after he said it was open (so I could make a character with his name to prompt his change when he came back) they started up again.

I thought recently they applied a protocol where a person can only send so many tells at a period of time.

Oh, they did, dont get us wrong. But it wouldnt be the reason you hadnt seen any tells all week. That can only have happened due to RMT no longer being allowed to make accounts/characters on your server.

The "measures" limited the amount of tells you could send per second. To us this isnt noticable, but to RMT it meant that they no longer could hit 100 people in a second. I believe the settings were something like 2 messages per second now. At most it would have caused the consistant spam every minute from the same person to everyone on the server to stop, and you'd get one roughly once an hour now. And on that note, they're already trying to circumvent this by simply having more characters online at once. While i'm getting less tells, i am getting them from more people and go through about 60 to 80 new entries in my Blacklist in a week.

So as a result of this new tell system, SE is selling more copies and have more subs for this game? Am I reading this right lol?
