The Black Desert Online site has been updated with the news that another 301 botters have been thrown out of the game. This time, 85 accounts were banned for speedhacks and 216 were banned for using fishbots. Banned accounts will not have a chance to appeal and the team has plans to perform smaller ban waves, though more frequently.

MapleStory 2 is off to a fast start thanks to over a million registered accounts. Servers are being added around the world, but in Oceania in particular. To celebrate the big numbers, Nexon will be unleashing a pair of in-game events that should net players some nice bonuses and nifty in-game treats.

Dauntless players are invited to check into the game to experience the first-ever Dark Harvest Halloween event and to take on the game's newest behemoth, the Riftstalker.

ArcheAge players have an opportunity to have their epic stories immortalized in the game thanks to a new contest offered by Trion. Players can submit their stories of their battle prowess or perhaps a tale of a heartbreaking loss or even yarns about epic exploration or political intrigue while building their nations. Submissions have a chance to be placed as an in-game tome "for future generations of adventurers to read" and players will earn a special title for their efforts.

Elder Scrolls Online devs are inviting players to participate in the latest #OurElderScrolls event from now through the end of the year. Players can earn all kinds of in-game and real world goodies as well as become eligible for an all-expense-paid trip to E3 2019 by entering the sweepstakes. Players are also encouraged to celebrate by sharing their stories and memories with the team.

Vendetta Online devs have published a brand new letter to let the community know what is in the pipeline for the game going forward. Most notably, fans can look forward to a "major new game expansion in 2019" that includes big changes to the galaxy with new types of hazards. "This includes a plan to massively increase the density of sectors, in terms of asteroid fields and debris" the letter informs readers.

From now through November 1st, fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic can play the game's first two expansions for free by entering the code "REVANSFATE" on the official site. This unlocks both the Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan expansions that will allow players to try out the game from levels 1-60 for free over the next two weeks.
