Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I’m one of the regular players on your server, and I truly appreciate your efforts in managing it and providing an enjoyable gaming experience for all of us. However, I’d like to share my opinion regarding the presence of bots in the server and how they affect the players. I hope we can discuss this topic openly.
Why I Believe Bots Are a Negative Addition
Impact on Real Players’ Experience:
When new players join the server, they expect to face real players for a true challenge. Having bots in the server makes the game less exciting because the interaction and challenge with bots are often limited and lack the depth of playing against real humans.
Unrealistic Feel:
Playing against bots can create a false impression that the server is full of players. However, once new players realize that most of the “players” are just bots, they might feel disappointed and leave the server to search for one with only real players.
Long-Term Boredom:
Players are drawn to human interaction, new strategies, and unexpected reactions. Bots provide a repetitive experience, which can lead to boredom over time and push players to look for other servers.
Server Reputation:
The reputation of any server is built on real player interactions. A server full of real players leaves a good impression and encourages more people to join, whereas bots might make the server seem “empty” and unable to attract actual players.
Suggestion: Make the Server for Real Players Only
Instead of relying on bots to fill empty slots, the focus could shift toward strategies to attract more real players, such as:
Hosting fun events (e.g., tournaments or special rounds).
Improving ranking and challenges to engage players more deeply.
Promoting the server on social media and gaming communities to increase the active player base.
I’m confident that real players will appreciate this change, and over time, the server will become more active and popular.
Your Opinions Matter
I understand that some of you may feel that bots are necessary to fill gaps, but I believe human interaction is the core of enjoyment in multiplayer games. I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
Best regards,

Re: My Opinion on Bots in the Server and Their Impact on Players
Hello)
All sounds good, and cool, but there's one nuance, and if you were a regular player on the server, you'd know it)
1) Very few people who play for a long time on the server.
Open any player from the first 20, and look at the average time online on the server. I'll give you a hint, it's 20-25 minutes.
(Lucky Luke does not count, if he has a day off, he sits on the server 24 hours )
2) No bots on the server is good, the idea is right, but when the server is full of people. That doesn't happen very often. On weekdays around lunchtime there are live players on the server. 5-7. At the peak can be even 8 people. But there is one more nuance, such an online does not last long. If you take the average number of players per day on the server, they are about 4. (At night or no one, or 1-2 people).
In other words you want to play 2:2, or 3:3, but with live people? How interesting is that?
I'll tell you.
When we introduced this experiment a couple days ago, all players started to disperse to other servers, #2, #3, to fun server, even to gg servers. Those players who never played on those servers.
But you didn't see that because you weren't in the game.
PS: what kind of reputation can a server have when there are 5 people playing on it?
At the time of writing the comment, there are 4 live players on the server. And if there were no bots in the game, then these 4 would not be there.
By the way, you yourself quit after 40 minutes of play.
Thanks for your comment and suggestion, but we have more to lose than gain here.
All times are in UTC+1.
UPD:
Are you yourself interested in playing 2:2 or 3:3? Honestly)
