Close this windowNCsoft Bans 16,000 Aion Accounts with Today's Surprise Server Reboot
Posted November 23rd, 2009 by Savanja
CM Tamat shares that steps are being taken to get the problem under control
Another mass ban has come down the pipes in Aion, this time 16,000 accounts have been booted from game for suspect botting, gold selling, gold buying, or any client modifications. NCsoft Rep CM Tamat shares the news and details exactly what happened.
As you probably noticed, we've completed a server wide reboot without much notice on a day that we typically don't perform maintenance. It's only fair that we keep you in the loop and make sure you know what's going on. Over the last week we've been working on a list, we've been checking it twice, and today we found out who was naughty or nice. Ban Hammer Claus just came to town. When the servers come back online, nearly 16,000 accounts will have been removed from the game. If your account was banned, please read the following FAQ.
We'd like to reiterate that we've been listening to your concerns. We've been constantly adding to our Customer Service and Game Surveillance Unit. As we continue to move forward, you'll see more and more of these efforts. Thanks for your patience everyone, and have fun playing Aion!
Inevitably, innocent players may have been caught in the crossfire. If this has happened to you, Tamat provided a FAQ that may answer your questions. You can find the full FAQ here.
