Hello Realmers,
After PT
Many thanks for participating in the public testing session this weekend! Trying out the new features and balance changes and communicating your feedback to us is very valuable to the team. We have been reading the ongoing discussions (yes, all of them) on different platforms. In addition to that, in order to give the PT feedback some organization, we ask you to fill this form and provide us with a summary of your PT experience. Your voice is being heard, so please be civil and try to give us your objective and unbiased opinion in the best structure possible!
Ban Wave
As we mentioned in the last Discord Q&A session, we never have and never will tolerate cheating. With the upgrade of Realm of the Mad God to Realm Exalt, our ways of tracking cheaters also advanced.
That being said, we want to give you a little more detail on what’s happened in the past few weeks. We now have ways to track which accounts have been using a hacked client to play the newly released Oryx 3 on Flash instead of on Realm Exalt. After an in-depth investigation, we found more than 2000 who took advantage of an external party/hacked client to get access to the Mad God 3.
Each of those accounts was banned, and approximately 150 of those bans were permanent. The difference in our actions depends on a thorough investigation for each of the accounts individually! The results were based, as they have always been, on an account’s history (if you have been banned and for what in the past). That also determines the duration of the ban. Since the amount of accounts is pretty big, it took some time to review each of the said accounts and take the appropriate action.
On the subject of permanent bans, we want to again emphasize that our tracking for cheat detection on Exalt is superior to that of Flash. While we want to continue taking a very firm stance on cheating, we would also like to stress that non-permanent bans do not mean the cheaters are essentially scott-free. Should these accounts have a second violation (which will be noticed very quickly now), more extreme action will be taken since they have already received their warning.
Cheating is a violation of our ToS and we won’t tolerate it. Breaking those terms will get you banned!
