by editor@pcgamesn.com

If there's one thing everyone hates, it's cheaters. Whether it's FPS players with head-popping aimbots, or ones that abuse in-game bugs for their own gain, cheaters are a genuine scourge. Amazon's flashy action MMO Lost Ark is no stranger to bad actors - over one million bans have been handed out since its release, and there are ongoing issues with botting. Over the past few days, there's been yet another bug which, in turn, has led to players exploiting the Stronghold on Ignite servers. Amazon has been quick to act, however, bringing down a pretty nasty ban hammer. Read the rest of the story...

Team Update: Addressing the Reward Exploit

by HardcoreHenry

Heroes of Arkesia, A bug was identified with Ignite reward chests, which some players were able to repeatedly exploit. Our team has been investigating the extent of the issue, and wanted to communicate our decision on the penalty for those who abused the exploit. As a reminder, a key tenet of the Amazon Games Code of Conduct is to “Play Fair”. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes unfair play and to take corrective action we deem appropriate, and the abuse of this exploit will have corrective action taken, with suspensions and bans already sent out. General Policy Slightly over 2,300 players received rewards chests from the Ignite Stronghold reward issue. Within this group, over 1,200 did not open any of the reward chests. The group that did not open any reward chests will not have any action taken against their accounts apart from removing the unopened chests from their inventory. For the remaining 1,000 players who opened the reward chests, the severity of the penalty wi...
