11,000 more bot accounts banned today- 27,000 this week so far!

Knite · 11-25-2009, 11:47 AM

Hey guys-

As was pointed out in this thread from Ayase's twitter, NCsoft has been freely swinging the banhammer like a drunken Thor on a rage fit. With 11,000 accounts banned today and 16,000 obliterated on Monday, a clear message is being given to the cheaters and RMT companies who have been plaguing the game in it's early months of release. A very different message is being delivered to us fans and players- "we hear you."

This week has been one giant gold star for NCsoft. Besides an unfortunate extended maintenance which cost our European friends a night of gameplay (which NC West has compensated them for), we have seen amazing things from NC West in the last 5 days.

The implementation of the 1.5.1 patch which included fortress defense medals, added xp for several mid to high level quests, and a fix for the Crysystem.dll error that had tormented much of the player base.

27,000 bot accounts banned over two sweeps.

And last but certainly not least, the fan-favorite "Visions of the Future" trailer showing many, many things that the community has been asking for since (and before) Western Launch.

Is anything else in store for us in this week of surprises? We can only wait and see. GStar 2009 begins in Korea today and us fans are hoping for any details we can find on the VotF trailer. So keep your eyes open! During a week like this, you never know what's coming next!

Tamat wasn't kidding when he said there might be some big news today.

GeneralMing · 11-25-2009, 12:04 PM

But they missed several of my friends for some reason.

Jazzace · 11-25-2009, 12:07 PM

The bots in front of the temple of gold in pande are gone. The bots in brusthonin are gone, and the bots outside of morheim are gone.

That you, NCsoft!

This is good news keep up the hard work NCWest. There is still time this week for more good news and the bigger news that they said they would bring us.

zeroinfinity2 · 11-25-2009, 12:09 PM

I have to admit their vigilance of letting us know they are banning bots is tenacious.

why don't they ban without telling the community as if "Look mams, look wut i did!"

certainly the absence of bots in game would speak for itself.

Good Job ncsoft!

sunken · 11-25-2009, 12:40 PM
