    Default Botany Bay

    So Jagex just released BTS for September... And noticed this...

    Botany Bay (free and members)

    As you have no doubt read, we're almost ready to reveal our latest and greatest blow against the evil botters that pollute the game. While the Engine and System teams have been fixing, testing and improving the system, we thought it would be great if all players were able to get involved in punishing these clockwork menaces...so we’ve created Botany Bay.


    After a cheating, rule-breaking, botting account has been caught in the act, they will be teleported to Botany Bay: a new location, hidden on a dark, foreboding island and run by the Botfinder General. Here, real players will be invited to listen to a fully voiced speech from the General, while pelting the offender with rotten tomatoes. You'll then be invited to choose one of three game-ending punishments for the offender, resulting in a brutal set of animations and a permanent ban. You’ll be able to hear about ongoing trials via the announcers that sit near several busy in-game locations. They will also offer a handy teleport to anyone nearby

    Interesting concept, but I think it will be dead most of the time. A deserted island.

    Sounds nice. I thought they were against naming and shaming.

    Just another gimmick to amplify banning of bots and play down the increment of bots should the nuke fail.

    Was just about to make a thread about this lol.

    Anyways, I wonder how this will affect botting as a whole. If it's just like it is now and instead of Jagex perm banning you, they let the players do it, then I don't think it will change botting much.

    Do you guys think they will release better bot-detection methods along with this update? If so, then I might take a break from botting on my main lol. Also, it looks like once your sent to this island, there's no way of getting out and avoiding a perm ban =/

    But then again, Jagex will definitely make sure that the account is being botted on before sending them here and embarrassing them in front of the RS community.. so will they actually ban less people than before?

    Anyways, I'm going to bot hardcore on my main until this thing comes out lol, then maybe take a break for a bit to see how things turn out.

    I'm going to pretend to bot while playing legit, on a char named "I r bot (random number here)" and then when I get ported there start crying

    they damn well better add better bot detection

    I might make a Botany Bay script that does things with a ridiculous high banrate :P The problem is that your other accounts might get flagged aswell so I'll run it on a VPS :P

    Yea that's one thing I've never understood about them, their IP watching seems to be nonexistent yet... networking is my field so it baffles me when I think they don't monitor IP... and I believe it to be unreal. I'm not sure what you have to do to get all of accounts banned on an IP but I've ran hundreds of them on this IP from other people & myself, so.. idk

    Sounds similar to the old black hole! Hope they get rid of injection with this update, at least for a few months.

    So now rather than getting a random event, you get banned?
    This is going to need some epic anti ban to get out of Botany Bay if you even can.

    Yeah, I know, it makes me wonder if they are keeping track of botting IPs and just waiting till the botnuke is announced to ban them all, just to make it seem more impressive.

    Not quite.

    You still get randoms and all that stuff, but now, instead of not being able to log in after being banned, you get sent to botany bay. Once you are there, there's no getting out, like the old black hole.

    Is this out yet? I had an account standing on a seeming less deserted island, next to water, and thought it was just a mis-walk into Relleka. So I just tabbed back to the scripts running area and restarted. Hmm.. Think I'll cool off that one account asap. O.O

    Edit: Read on the article/homepage that you become perm banned after achieving Botany Bay status? So perhaps I was mistaken.

    They used to do that. In fact, I don't see any reason why they would stop

    Just another way to get players scared about one of their updates. I'm on my last 99 before I take a break, 9 more Lvls.
