A Community Success Story

A blow to iligitimate accounts by the hand of the people.
On March 28th Superman0X posted a bulletin about fraud and exploitations. We are happy to announce that due to the diligent work of the GM and development teams, and to a massive amount of player participation, the crooked machine has taken a dramatic blow.



What this means for you:



1) The in-game sales of exploited and ill-gotten items have fallen drastically. In other words, it is now safe to buy/sell at market and below market prices as you previously have, using the same and normal precautionary measure against scamming.



2) Most accounts were reinstated, but players who are still unable to access their accounts during this crackdown should use the contact us form to get the issue resolved.



Over the past two weeks we have seen a massive resistance from our players concerning the purchase of ill-gotten items. At the same time, Aeria Team has created several new methods to protect players making purchases and trading items in game.



Without the communities help, the speed with which this change took place would not have been possible. This is just one example of how Last Chaos thrives because of the joint effort between the community and the game masters.



Thank you for your support and dedication in helping to eradicate this issue from our game.



Last Chaos Aeria Team

Anything you can share in this regard or is all top-secret, behind-the-scenes type stuff? In other words, how can I truly be confident in making ingame purchases that I won't suffer the week+ ban that many did?[/b]

Thanks SeeYouInTea for yet another a great Sig!

While I would love to share the information, I can't since that would pretty much destroy the effectiveness of the measures themselves.
