Adding offline merchant is already in every turkish server. Also offline minning, its just a matter of time when Offline PK will be available.
Just bots to make server looks like having more players than in reality.
Can u post more info?? What csw rewards, what armor, new beginner items??? Left out a lot of details lol..
Offline Merchant data is probably being stored in seperate table, so once the data is added there system can summon a character to game if ordered so.
It's so much easier for 21xx, really everyone spawning bots all around server, i don't want to look about that because 21xx have it as default when you buy ACME for example..
But yeah even for 1299.. It's poor example, but with a bit of modification it would work perfect and automated for 1299 also.

People didn't use a lot for 1299... YourKO did a lot though and some other turkish servers.. They dont share their systems.
USKO however is doing this like a machine.. You know all the buying merchants for fragments? Even on day 1 there are buying merchants for fragments like unlimited, it's made by server admins.
So while I do understand this argument (but hey, they're marked pretty clearly ingame so you can take from that what you will), the main reason we added it was actually to promote more real activity in CZ (don't need to worry about having to sit ingame merchanting items anymore instead of actually playing, you can do both!) and solve the only real legitimate use of multiclienting (which is blocked).
Also: we never said we came up with it. Yes, some random Turkish server had it at some point (edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_dL2l1z3Qc -- that's the video that was provided to us. I said they were dead but only because I couldn't access anything, maybe it's Turkish only. IDK.). I don't know who was first or if any others used it.
Someone made the suggestion based on that server, we took a look and found the way they went about it wasn't all that clumsy (often custom features are, since there's no real official client support behind them) so we implemented it. I don't know how close to their implementation ours really is, since the idea and what I saw of it boiled down to basically "use emblem to denote use of offline merchant", but hey. ^_^
Really, just because it's been done before doesn't detract from the usefulness of the feature. I concur with Manhattan -- congratulations to them for coming up with the idea of using emblems for that.
Whoever you are, you solved that problem in a reasonably elegant way.
If he knew anything he wouldn’t of said “buy” ACME, as someone who has dealt with ACME it isn’t anywhere near that simple.
I've answered those who asked through PMs ingame and in our forums but I believe that I should start checking this forum more often. So I'll start doing that.
But yes, like Aesteris said and adding onto that, the reason we're not giving the details regarding these topics is to arouse player's curiosity making them check for themselves and also not to alter the server's market prematurely.
Best regards!
Is there any El Morad (english speaking) clan looking for new members? I might be joining this server, it looks good.
