Nearly 22,000 ArcheAge Exploiter Accounts Banned, Zodiac Festival Now In Full Swing
Since Kakao Games took over publishing ArcheAge and ArcheAge Unchained last month, the studio has been cracking down on RMT and alt account exploiters. According to Kakao, they’ve permanently banned over 21,000 alt accounts and over 600 main accounts to date. More than 400 more have been locked as the devs conduct their investigation with the possibility of more accounts being added as the investigation runs its course.
“We are fully aware that many of you have been locked for a full week and are waiting for news, however those locks will remain in place until we’ve fully handled all aspects of the exploit,” said Kakao. “We also strongly advise you to do your utmost to avoid interacting with any item that may have been gained through exploitation. It may lead to your account being caught up in the investigation and also locked.”
“We want to reiterate our stance on exploitation and remind people that any unintended use of mechanics, both in-game and through our web inventory system can and will be considered a violation of our ToU,” warned the studio.
In more festive ArcheAge news, the Zodiac Festival has begun turning the Sozreed Peninsula into a peaceful event zone for the time being. The in-game festival will run until January 13th with exclusive items up for grabs, including the Duskglow Waistcoat Ensemble, decorative items, charms, and more. These rewards can be purchased using festival coins that can be earned by completing daily Lunar New Year-themed quests.
Event details can be found on the ArcheAge official site.
