Lame, was going to start doing that myself. Ah well, they screwed over a majority of legit players as well.

Shame for legit players, but it was an insane money making method with no real requirements for bots. They should have just changed some mechanics to be honest.

I probably made the most money abusing MA, over the half of the accounts on MA hiscores front page are mine. :f: :confused: Gained 150k ranks and ~50 billion gp on ~80 accounts :angrybirds:

Problem is, they never designed it to make this much money, when you ghot 26,666 cactus seeds it was only supposed to be worth an avg of 26,666. Instead of totally removing the item from the minigame they changed it so you get 918(ish) cactus seeds which are worth around 26k gp. (The way they designed it to be)

On my computer, I run 1 simba account of 512mb of RAM with 40GB HD (My bare minimum testing computer for scripts)… times that by at least 40 and thats the bare minimum you could
that's 20480mb of RAM on a 160GB HD.
I don't know if this is an ideal equation, but that would be about right. The only computers on the market that you can get that are iMacs on highest specs (something like $11000?)… or overclocking your board- which would probably malfunction.
Somewhere around the 80 accounts having membership, 50b GP, and 1/2 highscores page I smell a little BS… am I wrong?
PS 80 x 5 = $400 spent on memberships at the very least.

Fuck it ,it was only reason I bought membership for this stupid game. But I made about 150M+ in few days ,it was worth that.

Cactus seeds still sold in shop for 29 gp

One of my goldfarmer friends has a few VPS's where he runes 30 + accounts on.

Dont need more IP's

I doubt he made 50Bil, I only made 1b in 3 days.

If he did, he wouldnt go bragging. Im sure he was in the area of 500m. Lol.

More Computers, 4x log on each one. GF

Macs are slow computers. No one would use a mac for that. Also no doubt that it is possible. I just don't see any proof this guy really did that.

So you can multilog 8 accounts with same IP to one world ?

Well macs use the same chips as everyone else…

Anyways desktop or server?

Server: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117261

No but really, a farm would just be a bunch of i5-2500k's or i7-2600k's.

I'm aware but you can't buy a mac with hardware you chose. Unless I'm wrong, you can't upgrade your mac with a new faster CPU. Also you pay triple for anything you buy. If your budget is x and you need to get the maximum speed, it is not advisable to go for mac.

It's not really triple. More like double. And you're paying for the close integration of the software and hardware. You're not going to get that anywhere else.

Hey I didn't mention about purchasing power, you just made a blanket statement that they were slow. I don't have one and wouldn't buy one.

You're paying for the brand and exclusivity from the sole manufacturer. Not sure what 'close integration' of software and hardware means, but sounds like a marketing shtick.

Somehow this has turned into a mac debate from one comment. Nevertheless, you don't need a server rack to operate a small botfarm. It's quite simple really.

I agree with smurg. To me they are overpriced. If your saying macs are more reliable then your wrong. .. and its too restrictive, you cant upgrade anything.

but then again iam a computer enthusiast; overclocking, water cooling, $700 graphics cards in sli :) lets see you do that with a mac..

Deus

2012-05-12 11:47:25

Ah, I was wondering why it was so dead when I went there earlier.

Was bound to happen, was being abused quite badly by the gold farmers.
