Thanks Morphis. The potential for the autotalker with the V4 core is much, much greater than previous versions. I have logs of everything every player has ever said to the bot since late V2, if I go through every one and code the bot to understand and respond to each type of statement, question, etc, ever asked to it, the sky is the limit. It has already been successful the past few months with V3, but the talker has the potential to become outstanding. I'm going to add an option on the site so you can see the last few conversations your bot had, as well as other features, soon.
The way I look at it, the only thing any bot has to compete with is Jagex. Jagex are a multi million dollar company, and it's hard, you have to show them that respect, RID has invested every cent back into the business to improve the technology we use. Nobody knows Jagex's detection processes, but RID has been monitering people's use of the bot in RuneScape for a long time now, in detail, giving a unique insight into that process. The average RID member uses about 150 hours a month, which is only about $15 per month. The people who use most used to use around 200-400 a month, but there will be a cap of 42 hours a week in V4, meaning at most RID V4 will cost $20 a month. The cap is to keep our people's accounts safe, 1 in 5 of our members have 99 magic, there are several 120+ characters, and a real player can hardly play 24 hours a day, it removes the unfair advantage of being able to play 24 hours a day. RID doesn't want to ruin the game, I'd even stop selling the MTA bot if too many people were using it. We simply want to make our experience of the game better, without giving any unfair advantages or ruining things for anyone else (coming from a guy who alched 1.8M mage xp in 24 hours straight back with V1 - but you can get away with it now and again, just not if you do that every day). If left unchecked RID could cause imbalance in the price of infinity, but with the hour cap, only allowing people to use one at a time and limiting the number sold, it won't affect the economy more than the much larger number of real players who train there.
RID will be $15-20 a month to use, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression Exa with Nexus was about twice that price?
If you miss out on the MTA bot, the PC bot will be coming soon, which will be more scaleable. I probably wouldn't place a limit on the number of hours sold for it. It will be designed to get you 99 magic, and 99s in all the other combat skills, plus earn a little money on the way. There will still be a cap on hours per day though.
