Accounts Banned for Cheating: 3,879

Good thing that Admins (thanks to players help) caught so much multies (hopefully they will catch'em all ), but it's also a bad thing: such significant amount of players have cheated so far (yes, some cheating people have had tens of multies, but there's a big amount of cheaters we can get out of this number, as not all cheaters had 40-100+ multies).

What is the point of this?

Unfortunately it is easy to cheat in this game, and you can gain a large advantage by doing so (or even $$). But it is good that the majority of cheats get caught and banned, keeping the game fairer for us all.

3879 accounts banned for cheating...that's almost like the amount of people having a defence ingame.
That just looked like a big number to me..

Ah ok, well yeah it is big compared with the number of active accounts around.

*wonders what percentage of 3,879 I caught*

Twice as many people have been banned for cheating than there is people earning GnR right now....

Twice as many "accounts" not "people".

Are they all genuine bans, or does that figure go up everytime the auto-ban script kicks in on -naq ?


Thats a lot of bans if they are all real, I wonder who was the biggest multi ? I heard of some guy banned with 12 accounts a while back, have there been any bigger ?

Good and bad ?

Good for the game they got caught and punished, bad for human nature that so many tried to cheat

The figure is manual bans only. Auto-bans do not add to that figure.

You heard wrong.

Several years back I caught over 120 accounts being created as I was reporting them. Must have been a bot.
Here's that thread: viewtopic.php?f=159&t=54358

lets do the math

assuming you caught 200 accounts

200 accounts/3900 accounts*100%

the units cancel out and
5.1282051282051282051282051282051 %

you have caught 5 % of them all..
that is actually not bad.. Good job!!!
