Its coming to 24 hours and the ban reports have stopped coming in. So lets update on where we are.
1. Not all accounts that used Ryftomate are banned. Our developer accounts survived and we have been running Ryftomate today.
2. Not all accounts have been terminated. Some have had 24 hour suspensions.
3. On suspended accounts, some characters have been rolled back to the point where Trion thinks the botting started. Some characters have been deleted completely as Trion believes that character was botted from level 6 onwards.
4. Many people on 1 day keys seem to have been spared.
5. People with accounts that have never used the bot have seen the "clean" accounts banned and the "bot" account banned.
In short, we do not yet know how Trion has selected accounts for action; nor do we know how they decide what accounts to terminate and what accounts to suspend.
What are we doing?
We have bought more Rift accounts, updated the bot and are running tests to see what it takes to get them banned.
What about warfronts and questing?
We will carry on with development. Black Garden is done and the bot intelligently goes to the Fang holder. But for obvious reasons, its no longer a priority to deliver this on June 19. We are focused on finding the anti-bot algorithms.
How long before Ryftomate is back?
We can't say. The next 48 hours are devoted to fact finding. When we know more, we will post back.
Update June 20:
Keys will have time added to make up for the downtime.
We have found some thing but don't know that we have found the full range of anti-cheat yet. The plan is to do a release by Friday with questing working and that users are advised to restrict use to trial accounts until we have a better handle on things. The shop will stay closed to new buyers for at least 2 weeks.
