Overview
Silkroad Origin's economy was being wrecked by gold-farming bots, speed hacks, and teleport exploits — the classic plague of vSRO/JSRO servers. Player trust was collapsing.
The challenge
Client-side detection alone was trivially bypassed, and the team had no visibility into how the cheats operated in production against their emulator core.
Our approach
- Moved authority server-side for movement, targeting, and resource state.
- Built a statistical layer flagging impossible inputs and botting patterns.
- Trained behavioral models on labeled account telemetry.
- Orchestrated coordinated ban-waves with an appeals workflow.
The results
Confirmed cheating dropped 92% within a month, gold-farm accounts collapsed, and the legitimate economy stabilized for the first time in the server's history.
