How do you overnight botters do?

[Ranzo]

Those who bots overnight, do you put your computer in sleepmode and be connected to internet or standby mode. Or is there any way to make your computer less energy while staying connected to internet or botting, please help

When you enter sleep mode your computer effectively shutsdown but remains in a sort of quick launch mode so that when you hit a key it comes back to life, its by no means online, so no applications will work. You just have to leave your computer on.

Forget who told me this in the past, but it seemed a little effective. When your logged into CO open up the window and login. Begin botting and change your actual desktop screen resolution. That'll make bring up a black screen, but you can still hear effects. It'll actually lighten up your gfx usage. Whenever you wanna play again swap back the resolution. Did that when I played CO in those days.

Minimize turns the fps from cap 40 to 12, so this is actually the best idea to do it.

It also transfers memory usage to the page file and not ram.

Screensaver... One with a black background should save more energy.
