A game in which honesty doesn't pay: Too many bots and script-runners ruin the atmosphere of a once rewarding game for those who performed well. Competition now completely reduces to who can write the better plugins, scripts, and whatever else one can think of to automate gameplay. This overall development into a fully automated game is supported by recent changes,as there are now huge gold/qps/train sinks with potentials, instincts and masteries. The punishment of bots and automated players on the other hand is very intransparent and probably based on whether you know the MUD-owner or whether you donated a fairly amount to Aardwolf (pay-per-play by choice). If you enjoy playing with people who mysteriously manage to quest, campaign, level, pup 24h/7d a week, you'll certainly have found your place within the bottish community of this MUD.
