We collected a total of 19 game traces at the client side. Totally 4 human plaers and two game bots (Kore and DreamRO) are traced. Among the four players, Gino and Kiya were experienced--both of them had played Ragnarok Online for more than one year--and their characters were with level > 60, well-equipped, and highly-skilled. On the other hand, Kuan-Ta and Jhih-Wei were newcomers to Ragnarok Online, and their characters were low- to middle-level (level 5 and level 40 respectively) without advanced skills or powerful weapons.
The scripts we used for the two bots are commonly available among the Ragnarok Online community. Their actions are set to the most common ``kill, loot, and trade'' cycles. As in the human player case, we purposely ran the bots with characters of different levels of proficiency and professions.
For more details about the trace, and the results we obtained, please refer to our paper Identifying MMORPG Bots: A Traffic Analysis Approach published on EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing. Any problem please direct to Kuan-Ta Chen at ktchen@iis.sinica.edu.tw.
