I don't think it's dead...
The problem is, they haven't released any kind of updates.... I also think, they are not handeling the ban system right...
A perm ban for a bot is just stupid... I mean when you bank for thr game and bot you still get banned, and you loose the fun, and waste yout money...
If you look at games like wow, they don' really search for botters, and if they ban, not forever
I think bigpoint lost the attention of the game too much, and it got f****d up!
