Soul Society RO Has over 100 Autotrade characters that never log in

[Lukeh]

Hello, I want to report Soul Society RO: http://www.society-ro.net
For having over 100 ''Auto-trade'' Players that haven't moved in 15 days.
The admin is obviously trying to illegally raise his server's player count.
I'd like to have this server removed from the Super High Rate Server List.
Thank you for reading

There is nothing RMS could do.  First, it is not against our terms of services of having a server listing.  Second, a server with 500 players can equally have 100 auto-trade players.  So it could be easily arguable that removing one will lead to removal of the other which makes the matter complicated if we act on your report.

If I were you I'll take some screenshots to support the report.  Then when evidently we see this server is conducting such shameful practice we'll move your report to the hall of shame.

Actually, http://home.society-ro.net/?module=character&action=online&p=1 I can't see a single merchant left alone very few whitesmith and creator.  Unless they switched the job array in the cp I don't see the 100 people being merchant.  Show us some ss then we can bring this further.

They're using @autotrade and @afk so there's more than just merchs.
And, their population is not 500, it's 111, 130 tops. Wich means they have around 10-30 players on at the time and they pretend they have 110, I dont see how that's fair. Besides I've seen and heard of servers being de-listed from RMS Top SHR list for this.
I can give you screens but youll only see lots of players sitting in every town.
However if you stay for 2-3 hours everyday, and you keep coming back, you'll always see them in the same position. Some are Novices, some aren't. The fact is that they dont log in, and when you message them the system tells you they're on Auto-trade mode and they wont reply.

I see what you mean.  I'll move this to rant, there is nothing we can do about this unfortunately.

Your attempt to hurt the reputation of society-ro.net is amusing. With your two post count with only the intent to de-list my server to make daredevilro look better? You are a joke... Find better things to do in life my friend.

two post count? whats hes is saying is true, even before in their old server SeireteiRO and now Soul Society RO they manipulate their population with @afk and @autotrade. my IGN in SeireteiRO was "Fiddler" and in Soul Society "B U L L" and its also true that in Soul Society there are 30 people online or even less.

I know this is an old post and there is nothing to be done with manipulating the server population but. saying its 110 online when theres only 30 or less? to some people it feels like they were scammed or something.

to those who wants to know more about Soul Society RO and what OP said is all true and non of it is a JOKE and i hope this can help other people when choosing their servers. you can also pm me about Soul Society RO you can ask anything, i was donor in this server and for a time was loyal to the server.

Players can ask the admin directly if they need to know any information about the server. Not a player who has logged in a handful of times on the server. You bring back an old server SeireiteiRO which is irrelevant in regards to this topic. Do not bring another server's experience that had a different owner and compare that with mine. That is just down right disrespectful and not needed on these forums. Seireitei RO and Soul society RO are two different servers and are unrelated to each other.

I saw some servers that has 300-500+ vendors and only 10 to 20 online lols .

I honestly don't understand why people do this in the first place its not the quantity of the players but the quality that really matters.
For all you server owners out there who think @afk/@autotrade boosting your player population is going to get your server anywhere then your wrong and should seriously reconsider starting a server in the first place,
Also starting your server off like this based on lies,fakeness,deceit and your doomed to fail right off the getgo.

[pr3zs]

i think thats their only way to get players lolz

You guys said it yourself, no matter how many the players shown are, it doesn't matter if the server is no good.

Let's say a certain player started in a server with 1000 players online. He found it no good, so he'll quit right? Having a server with real 1000 players online at the moment or @afk/@autotrade people really doesn't matter. But in those number of players are real people who love the server and are willing to play in it despite its certain downsides.

There is really nothing more to say here.

Im a player of SSRO , how can you say that we have only 130 players and 100 of them is afk, logout, you should visit our server first. how can a server w/ an average of 20-30 players per guild and competing against 3-5 guilds at woe have only 130 players and 30 active player only? :p

This was since september. I believe you guys have more or less now? o_O. I would hope more since September of 2011.

I apologize if I necroed this, just a suggestion tho, remove @afk that way wouldnt be an issue right? or at least nothing concrete to complain of. yes I played SSRo was some nice players, I met  friendly staffs, just in the end wasnt for me, but its still a good server imo.
Just remove @afk and that would solve the OPs grief and you will be laughing.
