I don't know if it is or not. If it isn't, it should be.

~did someone tell you it was?

Any behaviour your character performs while you're not present at your keyboard is illegal.

Good old times where you could auto-pickup all items on the screen at once :)

Yes. but if you are at your keyboard playing normally, and you happen to have an autopickup "ability".... according to the rules. This is not illegal.

There is no way we can control that, so yes.

people have been using this one for botting to its why we have so many lvl 99 players around now.
They have TMW in one corner botting and surfing the web at the same time. If someone talks to them they reply while the bot does its work.

That is going to change with the next version of TMW. From what I've heard TMW server will require you to hit at the right time, and will require a lot more work and effort, not just holding down two keys to autotarget and attack.

So in time bots could be made just about impossible, at least not unless you are a really good coder.

Correction: the first version of TMW.

Yes, what you are playing now is IMO not TMW, just something we put up to attract testers for our client technology.

You're basically playing an ass-backwards Ragnarok Online Permanovice game. (Sure, there is more to it, but on the basic level.)

I'd like for people to finally start to get this right. We're not abandoning this platform as long as it has players, though.

However, I'm wondering (and I know you don't like me, Rotonen, but I'm going to suggest this anyway) whether 'The Mana World' is attractive enough to ... well, attract players. I would probably recommend, not that it's anything to do with me and all that, that you think of a more... catchy name for the game when it is released.
Just an opinion! I'm not telling you what to do!

~anyway, I'm sure we would all rather you didn't use auto-pickup.

Of course it is. It has "Mana" in it. Like "Secret of Mana". That attracts the important players.

We don't need a "catchy" name like Lazzzloffl, MenarsMMORPG or EnchiladosGame.

Well, I actually like the sound of that last one.
Ahem.
Seriously, though, I suppose now that I think about it The Mana World is a lot better than, say Runescape or AdventureQuest... only, the world that the Mana World is set in has nothing to do with Mana, as far as I know, and you don't have to be a mage (ManaSmith?) if you don't want to. I confess I've never played SoM, but is it really that similar to TMW, even if TMW is based off it?
But I take back what I said there. The Mana World is its name and, even if the Devs did call it Enchilado'sGame, I think I'd still refer to it as The Mana World.
