NCSOFT said on the 20th it has launched a second round of legal action against seven AION2 users who used illegal programs.
NCSOFT that day filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul against seven AION2 users who used illegal macro programs. This is the second legal measure following the first criminal complaint on Dec. 12 last year against five users of illegal programs.
NCSOFT said it confirmed indications that the accused repeatedly used illegal programs not allowed in AION2 and were involved in account sales and the distribution of in-game currency, damaging normal game service operations and the in-game economic system. The company determined the conduct disrupts normal users' gameplay and service operations.
To build a healthy game ecosystem, NCSOFT has imposed sanctions on 727,748 accounts for 65 violations of operating policies since AION2 launched. It has also shared the results of its response to illegal macro programs and plans for additional measures through live broadcasts and notices, consistently signaling a tough response policy.
After the second round of legal action, NCSOFT will continue monitoring and analyzing accounts suspected of using illegal programs and plans to take immediate legal measures if violations are confirmed.
NCSOFT plans to continue strong legal action and strict application of operating policies to eradicate illegal programs such as macros.
