To make This fair please back up your Vote with a post on the forum and attatch your PK Server in game name

 

This will stop cheating and multiple voting

 

If votes and forum post are different the forum post will be the deciding factor

I voted yes because the guild NPCs are just not good enough for a supplier guild. You can't sell to them, you can't PM and INV/WANTED request, many of the functions in the menus aren't implemented, they're to far away from the normal traffic flow (I could go on).

 

Of course I know that several people have said they wanted bots here, they were just waiting for Entropy to allow them.

 

I think the one-bot-per-guild concept is good. I'm not sure anyone uses it, but we could say no bot ads on @3 also if we wanted. The only real problem with bots on the main server is the spam on @3. Setting a minimum time (say 1 hour between messages) should solve that here.

I voted yes for the simple fact that when I did play on the pk server it would have been nice to have a bot to purchase/buy from at certain times.

 

I would rather give my in-game gold to a player who needs it rather than an NPC which makes that coin "vanish".

I voted 'No'.

 

I'm tired of Main Server, I don't feel the need to make another Main Server thanks.

i know i'm not on pk server much at the moment...... but i do hear about it through a good friend.

 

i have voted for yes... as being a member of a supplier's guild having npc would make it so much easier to deal with the various time zones and make it so much simpler for 'customers' to pick up their desired merchandise.

 

That's my pennies worth anyway

 

take care

If you could add in the option, "Yes, but with limitations." I'll vote and explain.

 

Thanks,

Accept that there are bots now, too late to start a vote for it.
Other than if the vote is 'no', and Entropy agrees, the rule will be changed back again. I still think it's worth voting by everyone.

 

And if we have a 'yes' vote, then the topic will be closed and we can stop all the forum and in-game flaming on the topic.

I have votd yes too

 

As i thought it would help back in May when i started the Thread

 

 

Paul B this is not a flame but you gave PaulB as your pk server ingame name that is not correct as you sold it to another player

 

 

Also i agree with piper would be good for restriction to apply if bots are given the go ahead

 

( not sure how to add that and how it would efect voting as some people have already voted but would like to see some restrictions)

Actually I didn't give my PK in game name I just "sign" my post usually with that. And I did state this....

 

I voted yes for the simple fact that when I did play on the pk server it would have been nice to have a bot to purchase/buy from at certain times.

 

And no this isn't a flame either. Just correcting the misunderstanding..

No

 

Bots bring an advantage that I don't agree on.

Same way with some specific trade between servers that happen quite often.

Voted no for a few reasons, but I know this is going to change sooner or later (and by the look of it, probably sooner). Maybe I should have voted yes just to get this over with. Rip the bandaid off, so to say. I'm undecided. Can I change my vote? I have no idea. Actually, I have lots of ideas, but they're rather conflicted.

 

-Sy (both of them...hmmm, maybe having having two personalities in game is affecting my ability to think linearly outsoud the game. That's it: SyAnide doesn't want bots, SyWren does. How do I put that in the vote?)

After my vote, it was 8 yes, 5 no. With Ent's it should 9-5. Looks like there are a few votes coming in without names after that.

 

Probably the tally is going to have to be simply by manually counting what people said, so it will be more legit if everyone state which direction they vote.

I think some people have been put off by the amount of flaming this topic has produced, and may not want to publicly vote (raise your hand if that applies to you... ;) ). As we have done in other polls, I'm fine with simply asking that only those who play the server vote on the topic (honor system). You can't force people to post their vote. Of couse with 20 or so regular players, if we get 30 or more votes we'll know something funny is going on.
