Hi all! I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, so please be gentle to move the topic to where it is most suitable.
I am a noob to OpenKore, though I have been tweaking with AI recently, and having found this good library I thought about creating some AI to Ragnarok and experimenting with it. Since my goals are for making research, I'd like to know if there is some server where bots are allowed (or nor prohibited) and if there would be legal issues with the guys from Gravity or any other company. It seems to me that mostly botters who are discovered are at most expelled from the server (is that right?). However, when it comes to publications, legal issues should arise if there were any problem...
<edit> Could any of shed a light upon this issue? <\edit>
(if I happen to implement this AI for Ragnarok, I will of course commit everything - if I am allowed to - once the experiments are finished)

Re: On legal issues with bots and research
You are allowed to bot on Kore RO.
If you are interrested in AI, you might want to check out the AI 2008 project.

You might really, really also want to check out the collection of AI ebooks I uploaded recently.
As for the legal question, that's cute. You should look up bushing and marcan's presentaion on the Homebrew Channel then think long and hard about whether or not you really care what Gravity has to say, then ask yourself where you stand morally in your beliefs on access to information and knowledge. I'm serious. Some things should be above the law, even if only by force.

Is this research for an academic research paper that you have in mind?

Re: On legal issues with bots and research
Connecting to KoreRO with openkore is 100% legal because it doesn't violate any laws whatsoever.
Re: On legal issues with bots and research
Technically not true, since Kore-RO is an unofficial server. OpenKore + eAthena might be legal, but just barely.

Re: On legal issues with bots and research
It doesn't use any copyrighted code. As far as I know, Gravity doesn't own a copyright on the RO protocol, either. Consider all the open source implementations of retail software: OpenOffice.org Suite (doc/docx, Access, etc), Pidgin (most IM protocols), Open-Xchange (Exchange), the list goes on.
