2. 🚨 BJ unreached server, warning of bot farm occupation risk
- ✅ Servers that BJs do not enter or where the power structure is not clear are at high risk of being occupied by bot farms.
- ⚠️ These bot farms go beyond simply selling items for profit and take the form of professional offices that attempt to take over the server itself.
02:04 - 02:53
3. 🕵️♂️ Evolved working method: Manual control and deceiving general users
- ✅ Lineage Classic bot farms hire manpower with low labor costs to play the game manually.
- ⚠️ General users cannot easily identify these bot farms, and it is difficult to report them because they are not using illegal programs.
02:54 - 03:43
4. 🏢 Reality of bot farm operation: Utilizing closed PC cafes strategy
- ✅ Bot farms acquire the permits of closed PC cafes to maintain PC cafe benefits and operate large-scale bot farms.
- ✅ Through this, they establish a 24-hour shift work system to create an efficient working environment.
03:44 - 04:51
5. ⚔️ Bot farm's server domination: Control and profit monopoly
- ✅ Large-scale bot farms occupy quiet servers, take over castles, and monopolize profits through control.
- ⚠️ General users have difficulty responding to these bot farms and leave the game because they cannot adapt.
- ✅ Bot farms think of the game as a simple means of making money and hinder the positive flow of the game.
04:52 - 05:29
6. 💰 Bot farm's growth strategy: Character development and sales
- ✅ Bot farms use PC cafe benefits to quickly develop characters and equip them with powerful equipment.
- ✅ Afterwards, they sell the characters that have taken over the server to the Line and earn huge profits.
- ✅ NCSoft lacks justification to stop bot farms, and it is difficult to sanction them because bot farms are also users who pay a monthly fee.
05:30 - 06:39
7. 🎯 Short-term focus vs long-term profit: Bot farm's various strategies
- ✅ Bot farms pursue long-term stable profits, but they also use the strategy of taking over the server and selling characters in the short term.
- ⚠️ Character buyers invest huge amounts of money, so they implement even stronger controls, and neutral users face even more difficulties.
06:40 - 07:35
8. 🕹️ Fixation of Lineage users: Difficulty in leaving the game
- ✅ Lineage users tend to have difficulty adapting to games other than Lineage, making it difficult to quit the game easily.
- ⚠️ Bot farms occupy and control major hunting grounds such as the Baphomet room, blocking users from accessing the game.
- ✅ Bot farms prioritize their own profits over the fun of the game, and mediation is impossible.
07:36 - 08:07
9. ⚖️ NC's dilemma: Difficulty in sanctioning bot farms
- ✅ NCSoft has not been able to block PC cafe benefits and lacks justification for sanctioning bot farms.
- ✅ Because bot farms pay account fees and play the game as a team, NCSoft lacks the grounds to sanction them.
- ⚠️ Unlike in the past, the level of bot farms has increased, and users who access the game for nostalgia may face unexpected difficulties.
08:08 - 09:14
10. 🔄 Evolution of bot farms: Counterattack and server domination
- ✅ In mobile Lineage-like games, bot farms show a more evolved form, such as not only auto-hunting but also attacking surrounding users.
- ⚠️ Lineage Classic is a big money-making opportunity, so bot farms will flock to it, and there may be attempts to take over the server itself.
- ✅ Bot farms pursue short-term profits rather than trying to save the server, which can shorten the life of the game.
09:15 - 09:54
11. 📢 Urging NC: Improvement and creation of a fun gaming environment
- ✅ NCSoft must come up with a solution to the bot farm problem and create an environment where users can enjoy the game.
- ✅ Large-scale bot farms can also flow into servers where BJs are active, and PC Lineage and mobile Lineage can cause different problems.
09:55 - 10:25
12. 📜 Lineage Classic Terms of Service Change and Game Expectations
- ✅ The Lineage Classic Terms of Service have been revised, and accounts may be sanctioned for stealing boss monster rewards.
- ✅ Expectations and concerns coexist ahead of the release of Lineage Classic, and the situation after the release is even more anticipated.
