This server is known for having 500+ players, but in the last 5 minutes, 3 Players was on, then 19, then 4, now 12.

If you look at the reviews, some of them say how their population is fake, which makes me question the 180+ reviews they have, are they real reviews?

Tom~

I can answer this question.
50% of the "players" are bots. Most of them are REALLY obvious. 30% are vendors, people with chat rooms, etc.

ZetaRO is one of the WORST servers I have ever played. So yeah, I guess those reviews are fake. At least for me.

Review
QuoteNot a really good server. It crashes a lot. Its a little bit laggy too. Community sucks. Barely anyone speaks english, and if they do, they are rude. Haven't seen many events, just some auto events... they are good, but boring. Game masters are friendly, but unrecheable. No @request command, and they never show themself ingame. Economy is totally messed up. Class balance? HAHA. You must be joking. No class balance; at all. Also, OP donators. Overall review: Not as good as it seems to be.

I forgot to talk about the bots... lol.

And so you killed yourself,
but you killed everyone else around you too.

It's not really your place to go run out on a limb and judge a server's reviews solely based on how many people are online.

For all we know, maybe the server crashed and only a few hardcore-die hard players logged in, while everyone else is waiting for it to boot back up.

Although, I wouldn't be suprised if any server's population is fake. It's so very simple to do...

And what's the point of your post? To suggest that the reviews are fake? One would think yC would've caught on by now.

@Tom:

Oh, I was also assuming it had anti-bot protection...my bad rofl

I can tell you for sure, it doesn't. A shame, because the server itself is pretty good.

GMs need to be more active, and they NEED a bot protection system.

Edit: I forgot something. Their community sucks.

How old is Zeta? 2 Months?

Tom~

Lolno. I think it has been online since... April?

Then how do they get so many hits on topsites? /hmm

Tom~

Vote 4 points :B

They use bots mainly to level up their chars. .-.

Obviously, but most servers have that now.
Yet, they get thousands of votes while there are only a few people on? o_O

On this one: http://ragnatop.com/ - it has around 4400 votes, while my own server has 1200. We usually have around 125 online. How would a server get that many votes if only like 10-20 players are on? :o Couldn't be due to voting bots at least, since there's ReCaptcha on it. Unless they manually vote through a lot of proxies.

On http://www.rotop100.com/ they even have 9400 votes. Now, that site is very vulnerable to voting bots (which a lot of sites use there), but still...

They usually have 600+ people online, but most of them are bots/vendors...  >:(

That's right.  If you have a report to make, I am willing to listen and take action but at the report section please.  Otherwise continue discussion with the population and leave the review part alone.  Obviously up to now we don't have anything to base on to take any action again certain listing.

I was actually going to try this server out once but never got around to it and i'm glad I didn't try it :P

I don't believe in those topsites they are easily rigged.. I only really trust RMS these days.

It's a shame the top SHR server is actually pretty much ruined due to bots and careless GM's.

ZetaRO, administrators are a bunch of cunts who stole players from another server that they tried to take over.
My friend was the owner of the server and they tried to ban him from the server, but he got ahold of me and I just hacked their site and server to make myself the root admin, ban the two admins, Jeric and Jhake, and then unban my friend.
Before I could ban them in game, they had dropped lots of items and other s***.
Then, once they were banned, and here's the really stupid part.
Because the patcher was set up on a freewebs site, and they set it up, they made a patch to redirect to their new server.

A true bunch of cunts, I'd love to bludgeon them both in the head with a baseball bat.
I wish I still had proof, because I'd put them in the hall of shame for that s***.
