Themiscrya has already been locked once for massive server population. Its not a good place to start up a PvP superserver. The heat map that lists Themiscrya as a low population server has already been outdated.
It once was a nice server, but now a massive wave of bots have already moved in.
It was the third lowest server yesterday. There is more than enough room for everybody at the moment, considering the best PvP companies already moved there before it got locked. This post is mainly to inform others in the region who may be interested.
According to some of the world chat, there have been players who reported PvPers joining the servers “with” bots. I don’t know the accuracy of the information, but it was asserted (and affirmed by several other players) that they know of PvPers who ‘PvP at night’ (such as wars) and turn on bot programs to farm for them when not PvPing – because farming is just not what they want to do (but they want the money for their PvP gear sets). In other words, yes, there are PvPers who play the game and then go do other things, but where you see PvPers, you also get players trying to game the system with bot programs running when they aren’t actively playing. To be clear, not all PvPers run bots. But some do.
And I can personally affirm a huge rise in bots now that PvPers have moved in. Is there a connection? Possibly.
Or the bots makers know a new Superserver will bring a lot of players trying to be competitive and will have on average more activity on the market thereby improving gold generation for their RMT.
Doesn’t actually have to be PvP players that are making them.
If there was a correlation between bot activity and PvP interest on the server Im sure the developers would have spotted it and removed gearing and progression from the PvP scene and fully scaled it to completely kill the market potential those bots were trying to fill.
Right ?
Maybe they should completely scale and equalize PvP and eliminate the gear progression loop from that content activity just to be safe.
The server is basically what the game will look like after AGS implements their rules to limit bad behavior. No shell companies and a 35 player minimum on war rosters.
