On 1st September it will have been two months the bot's been offline.
I'm very much focussed on the bigger picture, making a bot that's going to be safe from the risk of being banned for years to come, possibly indefinitely, more than short term inconvenience of being offline, which is inconvenient for me as well.
There isn't a contract regarding updates, except that they are free, you will certainly get the hours of training you buy, but it's just unfortunate the bot is in a transitional phase right now and if I do make decisions you disagree with regarding the evolution of the program, remember I've been quite successful botting in RuneScape I've made 100's of mils, 99 mage twice over, and put my money where my mouth is by showing people this on YouTube and sharing my program, without picking up a black mark, and only started about a year ago - many players have got to 99 magic with the help of the bot and no player was banned in the last month V3 was in operation, it may be a transitional phase but there may well be some wisdom in the decisions I make about where to go next. I know it's unproffessional but I don't work to deadlines, I work towards a final goal, but I think that's actually more appropriate regarding the nature of the software. The software I write is very complex and intricate, it's designed not as a bot but as a simulation of a human player. I don't know in advance every detail I will be programming in, some ideas I get on-the-fly, and because it's so complex debugging can often be required and pushes back your schedule further. And if anything was to be overlooked, or rushed, it would be an easier job for J-Mods to learn about the bot and eventually tell the difference between who's using the bot, and who are genuine players at the MTA.
It's not easy to make a bot that will always be undetectable, but that's the ambition for V4. Two months really isn't that long, when you think in 6 years or however long RuneScape has been around, there has never been a bot made that was actually undetectable, so far.
