Hey Space Pilots,
We know that a lot of you are concerned over the general theme of „bot use“; this is of course a concern of ours also. At the end of February our detection method was working well, and we had a reasonably low number of bot users in the game at that time. Since roughly April, however, we too saw a rise in the numbers.
Whilst many of you have raised concerns that we were not doing anything to combat this, we were. This was done behind the scenes. One of our problems is that the creators of bots are very resourceful, also changing and updating their bots.
We have spent the last couple of months refining our detection methods greatly, so that we can detect all bot users in the game. This has led to a massive increase in the number of users detected.
In the last week we detected over 16,000 users; and we are sure that as we permanently run the bot detection system that the number of users will steadily start to decrease again.
We want to assure you that bot use is not tolerated; and we will do everything and anything we can to eliminate such activity on our game.
Regards
Your DarkOrbit Team
