Daybreak Unbanning Cheaters Who Apologize On Youtube


2015-01-16_00028

The first step for a recovering cheater is admitting you have a problem and placing your faith in an almighty benefactor. That benefactor, in this case, is Daybreak Game Company. John Smedley took to Twitter to comment that, after a recent massive ban wave in H1Z1, a large number of players have been emailing him to beg for forgiveness. Instead of asking for Daybreak’s forgiveness, Smedley wants cheaters to ask for the player’s forgiveness. Publicly, via Youtube.

Apologize publicly and you get another chance. Do it again and I hear John Smedley makes you smoke the whole pack of cheats.

With seven thousand ESP hackers banned over the past few days, that’s going to be a lot of Youtube videos.

Jagex Returns to Naming And Shaming Gold Duplicators


In the very old days of RuneScape, back when servers were few and the community was equally tiny, players were banned in a rather public fashion. Not as public as, say, the crucifixions in Roma Victor, but each ban was represented with a system message to warn other potential cheaters. Of course, as the game became more popular, Jagex put a stop on this technique and started simply reporting numbers rather than names.

A bug in RuneScape recently allowed players to gather large amounts of wealth, leading to the ban of many accounts on Jagex’s behalf. Not content with simply banning the accounts, Jagex took to the main page to publicly name some of the offenders.

Jagex COO took the time to remind the community once again to report bugs that are found, and assured players the the economy would not be affected by the bans.

For those of you concerned about the rare objects being removed from the game after the bans and rollbacks – don’t be. We have several clever and fair ways of making sure that the numbers of these rares (like party hats) remain the same.
