RuneFest 2011 "Breaking the bots" insider session

[DrewInWashington]

good luck killing them, taha

[kablabrules]

isint this good for people who kill frost dragons? :o

[lovemaker159633]

Gamesweasel!

[commando8088]

Jagex, I came up with a great idea. You need a system where people can voice there opinions about updates. Ever since 2007 I've hated the updates (no offence meant at all) some were ok while in my opinion some were terrible. Im considering quiiting because I dislike the Barrows update, the Grand Exchange update, the way trees look etc etc... RS looks evil, ghastly and no longer the nice place it used to be. I liked it sunny, nice, and fun. Thanks for listenting-Lorde Karil VET Rs player

[jmoak14]

i'm starting to respect jagex again.

[runescape3237]

Bots will always be in runescape, Jagex can only limit bots in the game.

[reflexez772]

get rid of the red chin bots.. saw one with 105mil xp the other day

[TheZachattack2]

i want bots broken again thumbs up if you agree...

[TheChikitohot]

what happened? Bots are back :S

[TheCollapsing]

jagex please, translate the game into dutch, you have it in french :'(.

[superpb600]

Jagex can you please put at least an English subtitle to your videos? Because you must know that allot of people that is not American play RuneScape and watch your videos and I was really interested and I can't understand so much without subtitles ;/ So if you guys put subtitles in the videos it will be not longer be "restricted" for Americans, Thank You.

[dukedase7]

@superpb600 1. They're British, not American (which is a continent not a country....)

2. That would be too much work considering that a majority of the worlds population knows English, even as a 2nd language

[HobosDontShave]

@superpb600 We speak the same language as people in the U.K...

[MakeYaBrew]

yes some bots are back. if you can't stop some bots why not after 5 bans IP ban there computer?

[CantNotRemember]

my names daniel.. FUCK YEAAHHH

[JeroFTW]

Please take the Sorc garden and the green drag bots down :).

[docmagic1]

HOLY FUCK AT THE GUY AT THE FRONT HE IS AWESOME!!!!

[aksil277201]

jagex is rubbish!!!!! stat rolling back accounts just because people use autotyper!!!!! u guys suck!!!!

[TheSkiz2001]

8:48 for the old guy :D

[Sidepiece2]

I stopped playing rs, everyone buys gold from people who destroy the prices of simple labor items which could be making the lower levels atleast adequate money. Petite amounts for these bulk items weren't even possible considering the 500 bots on one Yew Tree.

[wcmontgomery22]

You guys are doing great things. But the blue dragon bots have returned. Thank you for the work you have done so much!

[MrPile158]

my friend thought he could make a bot to report bots

[DaffiBestRogueEU]

im amazed ppl play this game still :p

but yeah, awesome old guy in front

[DiTicha94]

sorceress' garden bots, please fix  that :) thanks

[MsCarolineeRS]

AHHH I LOVE YOU ACCENTS!!

[TheShadowLordxxx]

Hey. I really appreciate that you guys got rid of bots. It's sorta disappointing that the prices went up. I was looking forward to chinning and skulling dragon botters :) anyway, the price of void should be lowered, because it was much easier to get void with lots of botters filling up the void launches. Now there are so few pest control players that it takes a really long time to fill the boats up and complete a game. Botting was definitely best to get rid of, though. Thanks for reading this c

[iceywenner1212]

bots have been back since you got them gone

[StixIsLost]

Also PLEASE check who you roleback its unfair that if people get rolledback they keep items they cannot use if it was from a quest or having a firecape with less then 43 pray.

[StixIsLost]

id love to be friends with wise old man...

[LoveMashine69]

I love how you say "this shows taht we're not all about the money" however you guys are raising the prices of membership to new members. You've already done this once before, and $5 was enough before. If you gonna keep raising the prices then you should ad least be listening to what we want rather than just making all of these crappy updates...

[southpark1425]

As a CEO I wouldn't be proud of cutting my profits in half

[Dragonb33r]

I can't bot. my computer is to bad but... I don't bot ^^:)

[Dragonb33r]

I have never botted. Even if I would.. why do i got like 100k... :S

[DILSTROYER]

I don't think people realise how much Jagex care about their players, by doing this bot bomb they have lost so much money.

[Tanmantansen]

the irony... they think that people dont know runescapes source code :D

[YouMadBro112233]

the 264 dislikes were bots

[DerpyDragon]

lol, when he said "we broke the bots", i bet he was hoping for a bigger reaction

[RsKruq]

thanks for bad graphical updates

[DigAndMine]

Personally I'd like to know Jagex's view on Runescape Private Servers, I realise it's a problem to the Runescape community but I'm not sure how. I myself have been involved in such things as client and server development Runescape inspired me to learn the Java programming language I've never wanted to harm the Runescape community from my doings I do it solely out of curiosity I'm still just a 14 year old boy with alot to learn.

[DigAndMine]

This has changed my views on bots completely.

[triviumkid852]

when will the dragon armour update be done?

[DoUbLeBx2]

i miss killing green dragon bots :(

[LittleNiggle]

8:50 is going to be me

[tyhod123]

I didn't mind the green dragon bots because you can kill them for all their stuff and make easy money but its good that they are getting rid of them to show what the community actually is.

[ExedoseHD]

CLEAR GREEN DRAGS~!!!!

[EARLGENESISinc]

Thanks for ruining Runescape once again

Earl.

[TheScapersGuide]

LOL,

"look boys, this is whats going on"

"i was off for over 24 hours!"

LOL YOU FUCKING DON YOUR LIKE 80!

8:50

[hudscp]

i think this is great. for players like me that have never botted, its excelent

[wcmontgomery22]

@hudscp AMEN

[maskedmagacian]

so they're back.

[mrcampownz]

I got my 130 banned n i was runecrafting for a 99 and a lev 3 kept buggin me so i ignored cause he wanted 10 m n i messed up on frog mini thing i got banned no reason :( but... Ok

[epikreaper]

do u get to play while u work??? if so that is so unfair =(

[SamueltheSwift]

Lol at wave @ 13:08

[ikshapunk]

lol is this mod mark?

[TheOhVader]

04:00, Sitting endless hours and cutting yewlogs isn't really fun at all Marc, you have to understand that.

[alphaspida]

I started playing again a month after the bot nuke, and I can say now that I enjoy playing the game because it has equally leveled the playing field for all players. I don't feel like I need to bot to be at the same place as some other people gaining an advantage.

[SoulSplitGaming]

6:05 VOICE CRACK LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[ThyEzekiel]

ahahahaha botting is anti social? i tell you whats anti social, havin 50 people in a world!

[zspero5404]

So people in china and Korea can't play lol

[kylnig]

why did u change the whole website/forums. It was just create how it was!

[James15743]

252 people are botters.

[tomank101]

RIP Botting

[FapManiac]

@tomank101 you mean..

BURN IN HELL BOTTERS!! BURN!!!

[skatelement1]

HAHAHA



[monsterhunter99]

How are they suppose to kill all the bots??? At least they broke the majority of them. I don't think you guys get how many that actually is. Well done Runescape!

[aweller31]

Green dragon bots are back plz plz plz fix this asap it would be highly appreciated keep up the good work

[MRsirprysin]

@aweller31 I kill them for their bones. and there's a way to lure them, it helps a little bit. Use green dragon hides and drop them

[bobthebuildershelper]

@aweller31 but it makes good money killing them :P

[zainsta1bloopers]

@aweller31 No! Don't! It's far too profitable killing them >:D

[itzIsolation]

Wow now I can actually cut willows on a F2P server.

[myrang3r]

Why not delete the banned accounts, Rs wouldn't be so laggy then.

[unteenager]

lol prob 3/4 of ppl sitting in there had a bot going on back home



[skatelement1]

*This comment has been censored by Jagex* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA my comment has to be approved? You guys are a joke!

[j69d]

[Crazyyn00b]

[Crazyyn00b]

[Nintendy123]

[jonygut]

RuneScape's a game for everyone! :)

[zlcoolboy]

Mod MMG has totally gained some "he boss" respect from the whole runescape fanbase.

[AmeerN123]

17:33 IRL santa hat

[ryane4bacon]

:D



[OnnhojGaming]

Oh hello 13:10

[mrrunescapemann]

Yesh !

Finally jagex now i can get skills up !

[ryle2314]

was the guy cerrying the mic siamon from runeshark?

[eirual4rs]

Thank you Jagex you have renewed my faith in you. I hope these other projects can help keep bots away for good. I thought you had abandoned your faithful players to make a quick buck I now see I was wrong. This video really helped me to understand the bot update. Hopefully i can make it up to Runefest next year, living in Australia makes it hard but i plan to come if i can make it. <3

[RcNStudios]

At which minute i can see the old rs playing guy. The video is a lil bit to long ;)

[IShad0wII]

It's like a room full of squeaky mouse

[IvoryAngel6]

8:48 for the old guy \m/

[natey10101]

Hooray! Gold farmers are no longer screwing up the economy!

[YkLionheart]

Badass old man such a baws :p

[TheSurreyman]

The old guy thats me, my I do look old, anyhow the bots are done ( for now ) but like the rest I will keep going to rid the game of the BOTS, OH YEAH COM`ON

[lPEACEOUTl]

Hello to you too at 13:05 :D!

[ImTheonidas]

Another way to stop botting is maybe increase the exp rate and have more double exp weekends. I don't know about you guys but I don't want to click on the same thing for 10 hours just to get a level.

[TheSurreyman]

Im the old guy on the video at runefest, god do i look old or what, anyhow the bots

have been smashed, AT LAST,

[woo216]

cool

[TheSurreyman]

Hi all Im the old guy asking the question, bloody hell I do look old,anyhow we smashed the bots, now I can get around easier, try to help all runescapers if I can. OH YEAH COM`ON

[Acico73]

When im that old im gunna play runescape too! and btw i bet that the old man is like a pro

[Up4Idea]

nothing against botting but sweatshops 4 goldfarming is sad... gj jagex

[d33pblue888]

Get rid of those bots all of em!

[paggy95]

amazing

[guthixXXL]

7.7 million??? What kind of numbers are that? I thought we were talking a few thousand <.<

[323kiki323]

i dont get it. How do they breake the bots?

[sk8rdman]

@323kiki323 If you know next to nothing about programming, or even if you have some experience with it, it's quite likely that you don't understand the complex methods behind the bot nuke. They made a made some huge changes to the game engine and the way the game works fundamentally, such that it's more difficult to develop programs that can automate game-play, and also such that it's easier for them to detect when such programs are being used.

[HopeRegen]

@323kiki323 breaK*

[M3aaaqHD]

@323kiki323 change the java code

[boomyxx]

@323kiki323 bots recognize pieces of the game thru recognizing code . they changed the code of the game.

[Maltonite]

6:05 lol

[Ceielo]

I have been gone from RS for over a month, but seeing this is pretty great. (Was gone due to family problems)

[RuneScapeVz]

guy at the front who asks a question.

Oldest man playing runescape?

Respect =D

[l0rd0f0blivi0n]

@RuneScapeVz nah lol, got some older people in my clan

[MrYotsuki2]

@RuneScapeVz I think that old man IS part of Runescape. He looks too much like the Old Man from Draynor...coincidence?

[Mcbarrage]

woot, i love jagex! 7,7million gold farmers banned.

[Orangesoda65]

That old guy plays RS? What a boss.

[epikreaper]

@Orangesoda65

extreme boss!!!

[necrohero0]

@Orangesoda65 he's maxed :P

[wahidi660044]

@Orangesoda65 that might be zezima bro

[AizenHasCandy]

lol those old people. i wish my grandparents were cool like that :(

[brickfilmproduction1]

Nice, Runescape is so much more fun!

[guiltyhalo]

moar rf vids please, can't fly halfway around the world to be there.

[mlan93]

I've got more respect for jagex after seeing this

[TheGameBank]

I think I love Mark Gerhard.... O_o

[Avadakedavra989]

Love you, now I can play f2p without having 30 bots on my iron rock I'm trying to mine.

[TnRgamingVideos]

@Avadakedavra989 So true :) Must love it!

[JRamezanzancool]

This is great that they are doing this.

[arowhead9]

yeay everyrhing makes money now even

[TheJediMafia]

Are we still going to have to endure random events now? As their original purpose was to stop bots... With bots being gone... Why should we have to put up with the old, out-dated anti-bot random events?

[purpamunky]

Very enticing.

[yuorep62]

Played some nice runescape while I played this in the background. :)

[madhoude74dude]

JAGEX, you are my true internet Hero!!! XD

[yuorep62]

I'm playing Runescape again. :)

[brillohead89]

Botting has always plagued me, I really hope this helps your servers out, and maybe not lag as much.

[LtdBaws]

Just going to make 100 accounts member to make you money jagex

[pr0sc1my]

loved this :D

[AntiqueMageFtw]

Finally things are returning to what I've missed from rs.

[iwatchfunnayvid]

Encouraging me too start playing again thanks jagex

[zachman2340]

I could hear crickets and Frost Dragons!! It was great!

[Redgar67]

I went from having 50+ friends online every time i log in during the time period of 03-06, ever since mid 06, i only have 2 at the most, i miss our old community, now-a-days, you cant' make friends anymore due to 80% of them being a Bot, or the other 19% now being stubborn immature players, I myself am among that 1% group. All in all, I am grateful, to the steps you, Jagex, are taking to restore our community to our former glory,

-Redgar

[wisetell1]

if only i could have gone to see the awesomeness.

[Slyguy185]

When are you coming over to the United States for Runefest?

[MultiThunderblade]

Finally there doing something about these bots.

[SkyHawk024]

FINALLY BOTTING IS COMING TO AN END IN RUNESCAPE! im tired of trying to recruit for my clan and everyone i find ends up being a bot!

[0pokemata0]

Thanks Alot! awwsome speech

[redfred8999]

thanks jagex keep up the good work

[lollylylols]

Thanks, Jagex!

[yok170]

Botters must die we shall throw them in the pits of zamorak hell!

[MrTehproworld]

I agree 100% with what MuziakFilms said although I will start playing again for 1 month and if see that there aren't as much bots as usual or if things have improved in other ways I will definetly come back as a serious player for sure! and thanks for the great work!

[wattachald0]

That's good that your breaking the bots. but are you guys gona give all the banned accounts one more chance ? im not talking about the level 3 bot accounts... the level 100+ accounts ! get bak to me. If not then there its not worth waitingg. been waiting 2 years now !

[SummerIceVideos]

I hope the economy restores itself ! with this amazing update!

[AliAbidization]

Omg thank you jagex. No more bots disturbing me and dont talk back. This is cool. I live in America and can't come to runefest :(. Add me please:Game Time101.

[Makutarulz4]

Jagex is sooooooooo cool!

[TheECORICA]

hmm, well that's very nice now then when are u lot going to get round to dicers?

[rsmvhistory]

All of the dislikes have to be from botters because how could you dislike an informational video about the game?

[turtleshells118]

i am considering coming back now, you guys are great!

[TinyGaz]

98 people were bots who got banned, KO!
