Hey guys sup!? I would just like to share my thoughts on how my 1st CBT went and played out and also Talk about my experience on the Forum. Okay so just like you guys i was so excited for this game. The game gave me SOOOO much Nostalgia and It also struck me as a whole new game and concept in itself while still retaining aspects from MMO’s we used to play and love esp like Ragnarok Online. Now i know this is so late to talk about these problems and they might have already fixed them on the 2nd CBT. I wouldn’t know cause even if they handed me keys I was just so dumbed DOWN on my 1st CBT experience and here’s the reason why but by all means it had nothing to do with the Game itself but the PEOPLE in game. I was a Very active person on the Forum and this was the 2nd game where i actually talked and made aton of Threads on and that was because i love how the game looks until now i do. but what really kept me there was the COMMUNITY now why would i have a problem with the PEOPLE in game when the COMMUNITY is what i loved? well It’s only the Forum’s COMMUNITY which i loved and was so excited about playing with them but when i got the game and the keys ppl hardly spoke to any one and there were BOTS already. I really do hope that they did fix the BOTTING problem since i could’nt atk a single mob cause a BOT would instantly go to the spot even b4 the mob would spawn.
It would be a shame to have this game DIE just because of Botting. I really hope it goes Buy to play. BTW my real account is MallowRabbid i just lost it.
eh you know it’s already opened in Korea, right? I don’t see anyone complain about bots anymore
and killing them is fun 
Yea! Just get a Red Orb and laugh at them 
2 answers and one question:
-
There were tons of people talking in-game. It might have been because you weren’t logged on during peak time, or didn’t join parties, but I always found people to talk with. You shouldn’t have an issue finding players to talk with when the game releases here.
-
Bots will always exist at a noticeable amount in F2P games like these. It’s practically a business now. The Publisher/Developer can decrease the amount that appear, but they can’t get rid of them entirely.
And the question:
- Why are you randomly capitalizing specific WORDS throughout your POST like THIS?
I can’t tell much about the ingame players, as I missed the opportunity to participate in the 2nd CBT, due to time constraints and real life stuff. Then I came back to check the forums, gather some information on how the game was faring and to my surprise, even with the latest CBT already over, these forums are still very active, which is really nice.
With that being said, what you could do is engage on topics and conversations, make some friends here, so when the next beta or release arrives, you have a group or team ready (or even guild, there are some interesting ones already), leaving the frustration of PUGing behind, you know? Friendship is magical and I hope you can find someone to play with in the meantime. 
Also, there is not much we can do to combat bots, efficiently. Every game with a F2P model will have armies of bots everywhere and even those with B2P/P2P models suffer from them. As long someone is willing to buy from or make transactions with them, they will keep coming back. The fault isn’t entirely with developers/publishers.
I do agree to all of these comments but i just felt really bad that when it was the start of the 1st CBT they were already there and were camping in groups and i couldn’t kill any mob and lvl up due to that and it caused me alot of frustration. And yes bots will never go away cause ppl just like to get stuff easy. I know that they will have more GM’s to handle the banning of bot accounts but im just stating how bad it was at that time. I still do hope that there will come a time were bots wont exist the way it’s so easy for you to leave it on and farm items and sell them at a SUPER INFLATED PRICE kills the whole games market which make it hard for the new players to get into the game. Hopefully they ask around more in the forum at least alot of good people here
Odd that you say that. ToS is one of the few MMOs out there right now where people TALK & chill and hang out.
Well that was on the 1st CBT. I havent played the 2nd one cause i was bummed out of my experience on the 1st. But looking forward for the next one.
So was I,but the only thing that could have happened was improvements on iCBT2,so that doesn’t mean much.Complaining about a step in the MMO process [the first one,especially] is useless once it’s over.

Go grab some high level monster orbs and spam them at the botters. Problem solved. But ofc, you need to have higher level than the botters themselves so this isnt the best solution. But we can always report their crimes by recording their suspicious actions and post it on forums or youtube. And it works so far. IMC thmselves have shown no forgiveness against botters at Korean sv which is a good thing.
I can assure you that the 2nd cbt ( and future cbts/obt ) is nothing like the 1st cbt. Actually, it is very strange that you didn’t have a community in 1st cbt - it was literally a grind fest and people partied up to grind all the time. Although, you must also keep in mind that they only allowed 8k people in, and lots of them quit early due to this grindfest. Community wise, most people are still friendly in-game as they are in forums.
1st cbt bot problems were also somewhat fixed so they know about the bot problem. Archer’s ‘kneeling shot’ was changed to c2, and giant kepa is being spawned at random locations now. There are still bots out there, but you won’t see them as often as you did in iCBT1. Nonetheless, I think you will be surprised with how much TOS has changed since iCBT1.
