SOE has announced that they have banned over seven-hundred accounts as a result of cheating observed in their hit MMORPG EverQuest II. The announcement comes with promises that they will continue to fight to ensure that all players are on an even playing field.
| Over 700 Exploiters? No Thanks. Sony Online has continued efforts since launch to keep the EverQuest II game world free of players who use exploits to gain an unfair advantage, especially with bots and macros. Over 700 accounts were banned for various forms of cheating and exploiting during the past 2 weeks alone. It is our goal to continue investigations into suspicious in-game activity and ban accounts with violations. “We'd like to thank our EverQuest II customers for all of their reports in rounding up these crews, and helping us show them they're not welcome in Norrath,” said EverQuest II Senior Producer Scott Hartsman. “A few hundred 'bot subscriptions just aren't worth the money when compared to keeping the game fun for hundreds of thousands of people.” |
