Here’s your development news round-up for the past week! To see more game-specific news or add comments, check out our TGIF posts on the Forums.

Player Bans for Feb 2 - Feb 8

Note: Numbers represent permanently disabled accounts and do not include suspensions or other penalites.

Total accounts banned: 764

The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate it when players let us know about possible issues.

If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please submit a ticket and avoid posting about them in the Forums or chat as Kano team members will not discuss account-related information in public channels.

Support Report

The folks in Support would like me to convey to you a brief explanation of how chat bans work. Some players have the impression that you are banned for something you have said very recently, say within the last day or so, and are rightly puzzled when they write in with that frame of thinking.

Our chat reports stretch back a couple days, and even though we try to get through them quickly, they do tend to pile up, especially over the weekend. Even if you’ve been totally polite the past couple of days, your messages from the past can still land you in trouble.

However, Support is generally very nice about giving you access back to the World Chat as long as you ask! Of course if you are a “repeat offender” then you might have to ask extra nicely with a cherry on top to get your privilege to post back. ;)
