When NCSoft swing the hammer, they do so with gleeful abandon: earlier today, as Aionâs servers came back to life after an unscheduled reboot, over 16,000 players found themselves banned from the popular MMO.
And thatâs not even 16,000 globally. Itâs just from the gameâs American and European servers. Causes for the bannings range from the use of bots to gold farming to spamming advertisements to other players. NCSoftâs Community Manager, Andrew Beegle, says âWe are taking a very hard stance on this issueâ, and if anyone tries to cry âinnocentâ, adds they âhave sophisticated processes and procedures in place that help us keep unwarranted banning to a minimumâ.
Oh, if only the internet let us see literal rivers of blood.
