In ArcheAge, a player was banned for alleged criticism of Trion Worlds, but the matter was not as it seemed.
Pitchforks Out – Trion Worlds Back on Scandal Tour!
On reddit, a user posted a link to a screenshot of an email he received. From the screenshot: The poor innocent player was banned for a completely normal remark that Trion Worlds can’t get it together. He had played Trion Worlds games long enough to know that.
To be banned for that – an outrageous affront. This once again shows how bad Trion Worlds is. Or?
Not so fast
The new community manager of ArcheAge then spoke up, having discovered the thread and investigated. Indeed, the user was banned, but not for the harmless sentence. The screenshot was fake.
The user was banned because he was swearing like a trooper in Trove, a game rated for ages 10 and up, using homophobic terms and describing “sexual acts”. Again: Trove is rated for ages 10.
He had behaved in such a way on over ten occasions that a ban was warranted.
The mood in the thread shifted from “Typical Trino!” to schadenfreude towards the poster.
My MMO thinks: To be fair, it must be said that it is also a sign of the problems with ArcheAge that people attribute all sorts of things to Trion Worlds without seeing it. But how easily screenshots of emails can be forged and that one should be skeptical about such outrageous stories is shown once again by this incident.
Also, Trion Worlds is not the devil.
