A possible way for CIPsoft to find botters?

[Masse136]

Heya! I just recently started to play again and bought the bot again, ofcourse. I was botting my 2 account on the same time, both same world and at the time almost the same place on the map. During 3 min the knight had massive lag, coulnd't move getting warning box from tibia that server wasn't working ect, ended with a kick and relog and it was all fine. During these 3 minutes, about 500 squares away the other account ran flawless...

I hope u understand what I mean and that u see the shady part aswell, all done on the same computer with MC.

So, u think their smart plan is to randomly kick ppl? I don't get it? No reconnect - ban, Reconnect - no ban, lol

May be the way the do it, tho, a little bit more advanced.

No it's more like they do something with that ONE account that did lag, the other one, on the same computer and same world didn't lag for shit. Something made ONE char on the server lag and I was sure my sorc was dead with all that lag, but he went on flawless, on the same world and the same computer... Something messed with the knight and it sure as hell must be from the inside :p

Yee, me too, I setup my Dice Char, and I got ~6 kicks and frezees, but on others char I don't got this shit.

There are all sorts of far more obvious reasons that this could happen. When you connect to the Tibia servers, you send a request over the internet and it gets back to you with the best path to establish a connection by. That is not always the lowest latency, nor is it the shortest physical distance, or anything like that, it is the path that a data management center decides on your behalf. On top of that, when you log in to two clients you open up two connections to Tibia individually, they do not share the same connection. These things considered, there is every possibility that one of your clients connected via a "good" route, the other by a "bad" route. It's unlikely for this to happen when you login both clients at very similar times, but far from impossible. If you log in the clients a few hours apart, the chances are much higher that the route will differ.

If you want to try it, run a tracert to the Tibia website, and see what path it takes at various times of day. Sometimes if your connection goes via a big city, you'll notice it will avoid that during peak working hours (probably around lunch time, when all the city folk are playing farmville or downloading porn ready for their evening of bondage). You might also notice (if you live in Sweden) that overnight your route differs drastically due to power saving measures and torrent users downloading in downtime.

tl;dr: Unlikely.

Probably the best answer I've got to any question what so ever on the internet, thanks! Usualy my internet is flawless, pretty much always even when downloading. Living in Sweden, Stockholm having Fiber so I guess I pretty much live next to north Europe highway (?) Remeber playing American servers was a living hell for me:p

It has always been a superstition of mine. Like maybe CIP does randomly kick people that have been online for longer than a certain period of time, or gotten a certain number of bot reports.
We wouldn't know the difference between it, bad connection or the damn DDoS.
