More than 5000 cheaters in Riders of Icarus have been banned for using bots and hacks or flooding the chat with spam.
More Game Masters for Faster Bans
In recent weeks and months, the operators of most games have been taking stringent action against cheaters who ruin the gaming experience for honest players. Now, many players of Riders of Icarus have also been affected.
The game has been plagued by a significant number of botters, cheaters, and especially spammers since its launch. More than 5,000 accounts have now been closed.
Moreover, the developers are working on new systems to automatically detect botters, cheaters, and spammers, so that bans and penalties can be issued on their own. But that’s not all: The number of Game Masters will be increased, who will monitor the game servers and provide players with a reporting feature, so that those cheaters who slip through the automated system can be held accountable.
As a “sign of transparency,” Han Sol Junger, the game’s producer, announced in a letter to the community that there will be a published list of all banned characters on the forum, which will be regularly updated. So if a particular character has disturbed you for a long time, they might soon appear in these lists. This is mainly to show the players that something is indeed being done.
