THC statement regarding #THC

12»

Yarr!!

Due to many complaints received from other pilots, regarding our #THC bot activity in Latos (slowing down sector, pvp and VO in general), THC council made a difficult decision to turn off spybot.

I hope the pilots expierenced problems won't have them in the future. Enjoy "bot free" 'verse. Hope #THC was the only one bot in VO.

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Pirren,
THC Commander

Translation: "I got tired of paying the extra subscription."
Right? :P

"I got tired of paying the extra subscription."

No. We don't want to create lags for PvP and sector updates in O12. There's already enough NPC there.

P.S. No worries, I'll find purpose for this subscription, for example, make a special alt for infiltrating Ecka's guild :}

In response to all this whining, I will be setting up a couple new bots. HTFH

Put one in Sedina B8.

or, better yet, set one up in a newb training sector to haunt their lives.

Er, a bot is just an afk player. What lag ? I have never seen any . Really, I have no issues with someone paying to tell a guild of non logged in players that I have just flown through h2 , o12 or b11. Feel free to tell IRC where I am. It might get a few of them in the game ....

Maybe I'm gettin old, maybe eighty seven hours of no sleep or jet lag is playing havoc with my mind... but, I agree with Ecka.

Yeah, none of them really cause any "lag". Whoever's complaining about that is full of it.
If one AFK player in a sector is enough to cause lag then there's something SERIOUSLY WRONG with VO.

abortretryfail, glad to hear it :}
Sep 24, 2011 look... no hands link
i believe the problem it caused was swarms of ctc bots sticking around.

Better to have them collect at a wormhole than outside a station, since the bots don't respect the NFZ and suffer no penalty for violating it.

"Better to have them collect at a wormhole than outside a station, since the bots don't respect the NFZ and suffer no penalty for violating it. "

+1
but.. they still collect outside the station, iirc.

also..
bots wouldn't cause any lag by using the chat system.
it's like saying that using 100 breaks vo... which is another issue in and of itself.

put more bots in vo!
it makes it look like there's more players, right!?

hmm, thanks for info pilots, but I really received some complaints. I think I just need to ignore that people.. ..and will put spybot back soon. :] Maybe not in O12 because I don't like the hordes of serco NPC's flying around there.

where's another good spot to place it?

Someplace with good ore? You could move it around to different places every so often, so that people don't always know where it is to avoid it.

Pizzasgood, +1 ;)

I was sad to read about #THC's demise, and overjoyed to hear of its return. I like #THC, IN FACT /givemoney #THC is one of my favorite things to do, right behind /msg #THC pay

I'll fly over tomorrow to pay THC for the next week, as I know I am overdue on my bill... I don't want you guys jacking my ships in Remley while I am on vacation, especially my flamevult.
