Dear Runes of Magic Community,
the great success of Runes of Magic not only manifests itself in the fact that we have a large and truly great community but also the in a growing number of cheaters, botters and spammers.
Thanks to our Customer Support Team, our voluntary helpers and your vigilance we have managed to keep these offenses at bay. This vigilance enabled us to permanently close more than ten thousand accounts.
In the course of our efforts of removing cheaters and bug-exploiters from the game, last Friday we initiated another wave of account suspensions. We were investigating a bug-exploit that allowed users to illicitly gain a large amount of in-game gold.
On some servers this caused the game's economy to tip over and several items that were traded in the Auction House - like Diamonds, our Item Shop currency - were way overpriced. Of course this in turn meant that players who did not use the exploit were at a disadvantage.
In the course of our investigation we had to temporarily close several hundred accounts to examine how the users holding these accounts were involved, to remove the gold from these accounts and to stop the cheaters from obfuscating their actions.
The first findings indicated that most of the suspended users indirectly profited from the exploit because they had an unusually large amount of gold on their accounts because they took gold from the actual exploiters. After the end of the initial 7-day suspension period and after removing the gold, these accounts have now been unblocked.
The actual exploiters (i.e. players that actively used the exploit) will remained banned from the game.
We would like to point out that users whose accounts have been suspended temporarily and who acquired Diamonds via the Yusho system, will find that the Diamonds have correctly been credited to their accounts. Should there be additional need for clarification on certain questions, our customer support will gladly be of service.
We will continue our rigorous efforts against players who think they have to use cheats, external software or other tools to gain unfair advantages over other Runes of Magic players who are playing the game as it is supposed to, now and in the future. Additionally we continue to ban gold farmers and spammers from the game.
We hope this statement will calm the commotion of the last few days and that you understand that we had to take action quickly. Please understand that during the time of that investigation we could not divulge more information about this.
Finally, we would like to thank our players that helped us during our investigation.
With best regards
Your
Runes of Magic Team
