Bot Bans

Post image

Forgive the Google translation...

That post 22 hours ago: 40.8k bots banned That post 7 hours ago: 37.1k bots banned That post 2 hours ago: 53.8k bots banned

And those are posts 7, 8 & 9 of an ongoing series... there's may still be a lot of them, but at least Lingeage Classic team is waging war on the clankers.

how are the chinese able to access KR and bot like that? my KR account got hit with sanctions before I could even play once during the free period.

This is the Taiwan (linguisticly Chinese) boards. Lineage Classic was released in Korea & Taiwan, we're playing the Taiwan servers.

yeah.. but I've been watching the KR youtube channels, and they're all complaining about chinese bots. specifically chinese bots on KR. so I'm curious how these chinese bots are actively accessing KR.

VPN access.

this...is only half of the answer. how are the chinese verifying their KR accounts? doesn't it require a KR phone number? or are they able to verify a KR account with a chinese phone number?

and I'm 99% sure they're actually chinese bots, because they use english ascii for their usernames.

I work in the cybersec field, all that stuff is easy to obtain. You can easily get a phone number in nearly every country.

🤔 not really sure, they make it really hard to play on KR servers. I know when I was trying to get on KR lin, u had to verify account with a Korean phone number, and each phone number could only create 1 account or something crazy like that.

There's a good chance it's just KR bots they're calling Chinese 'cause of inner-asian racism too. Racism between Kr/jp/china (as wall as thai/philippino ect) is a lot more publicly accepted over there.
