Well today I was met with the 1 client limit AND the 3 hour limit while developing so i guess im going to release a half finished piece of shit script , or spread out my time over the next few weeks. I feel like there's gotta be a different way about this, restricting development time seems a terrible approach.

I mean, as long as the admins don't mind that my script is released in a Alpha 0.1 stage so that will explain all the issues.

I was going to do the same thing, just make an easy script, something you wouldn't mind releasing as Open-Source so others can learn off of. Like a Fletcher, Vial Filler, or Tanner. My soft clay script literally only took me 5 hours to make at most, and I haven't received any notifications about issues with it.

You should only have a 2 client-limit by default, for each dollar donated your client limit goes up by one. So if you donate 1$, your instance limit should be at 3.

Hmm i think maybe I had a "phantom" client running in the background then if the limit is supposed to be two. Thanks for replying, I feel a little calmer knowing I only need to release one script successfully to get the bot author title. I know we were warned previously about the upcoming change but i think the original post needs to be more explicit about the changes and conditions.

Not sure what requires further clarification. Would be happy to elaborate when pointed out.

I had no idea i'd be restricted to 3 hours per day botting on my private script, im somewhat disappointed. From what was explained to me elsewhere on the forums yesterday I thought that I would be able to run my bot for unlimited time on one client. Now I either have to pay $1 a month for it or release a tonne of scripts for author status? Can I instead just release one of my bots so that I can continue running my favourite bot for free? ... someone explained it as a kind of 1 for 1 system?

Uh, it's not 3 hours a day, it's 3 hours per session... Just restart the bot. This is to prevent developers from selling private bots without going through our system, basically to increase the safety for both parties. And to encourage developers to give back to the community with free bots.

I was running my private bot for 3 months because it wasn't pushed correctly or I dont know whats going on? I see the bot in my bots list but is not working. I PMed @Arbiter and he doesnt respond. The author of my private bot @Qosmiof2 doesnt respond either. Now i have to deal with the 3 hr limit. Lol. What am I paying for?

He does respond. Imagine how many messages he gets each day. If he doesn't reply try joining slack and talking to him there

What if I want to keep a script private to me and my friends? I don't want to publish my scripts at all, since I would have to compete with people using my own scripts.

edit: And I do not want to charge anyone anything.

To rephrase your query in a pragmatic manner, you are asking how you can exploit our platform to profit privately for you and your friends without contributing anything back to the platform that does 99% of the work. The short answer is you can't (or rather we won't make it easy to do so). We offer almost all of our services for free and all we ask in return is a small amount of contribution.

In order to do what you are asking, to give X amount of people private access to a bot you made, you will need to publish X free bots, publish your private bot privately, and then grant each of the users access to the private bot.
