For those of you unaware Funcom has over the last two weeks banned 14% of it's player accounts!!
What has led to such drastic action you may say? well read on....
Since release of Rise of the Godslayer expansion Funcom has has numerous issues with game glitches in the new land of Khitai. Most of these glitches have been in the plentiful 6 person dungeons scattered around the expansion and these programming errors have been siezed upon by enterprising players looking to get ahead in the game.
This has resulted in a constant race between the exploiters and programmers with every week new ways of completing instances being found only to be patched up half heartedly by the programmers.
However this has all changed as Funcom has taken a new drastic approach to the enterprising players and introduced the 'Ban Bot'
For those of you unaware at how this works the bot is set to scan instances for reduced sized playing groups and groups the programmers consider inappropriate to complete the instance. Once these groups are found then all accounts involved are suspended.
So for those of you exploiting Coppice hard mode by running in circles or firing from a distance in the Abyss of Kun Whu to glitch the boss you better beware as the bot may be out to get you!!!
The bot however has had some unforseen actions however and many genuine players have now been banned for experimenting with new tactics. This has resulted in so many players being banned that most guilds have had to cancel weekly raids due to lack of numbers of players. Further to this enraged players are cancelling accounts at record numbers sending the already financially vunerable Funcom into a downward spiral.
What will happen over the next two weeks no one knows, but one thing is for sure the world of Hyboria sure did get a lot more interesting..........at least for those of us watching anyway.
