Since it was requested that we start a new thread in this forum...

If someone, or a group, is caught cheating on the game, what kind of penalties are assessed if they are not banned?

Inquiring minds want to know.

You meant Game News section? ;)

The last post in that sticky is the reason why I created this thread.

It appears that the violators may not be banned, but penalized somehow. I'm curious to know what kind of penalties.

I want to and I am doing that to limited accounts (inactive / in debt multiple accounts, repeat offenders,  and fake accounts).

Temporary account suspension goes without mentioning. That is the only realistic way to get the players to response to our investigation. Penalties would include a in-game cash penalty and possibly a period of suspension. I am trying to refine my penalty formula so in the future the penalty would by a measurable sum in relative to your networth, instead of a fix amount regardless of your size. What I am thinking is a fixed amount + a percentage of networth + an additional percentage of administrative fee (which unfortunately, I don't get to pocket). The fixed amount would most possibly cover the unfair gain from the violation, which the other two should make up the real penalty. At the moment, it is only 120% of the fixed amount, which sometimes does not even cover all the unfair profit made, although the sum is usually large enough to sound good :roll:

I could say that we are working on make the rules more visible. After all players are informed and aware of the rules, the penalty will be a lot tougher. (maybe delete accounts on second offence).

Then I will get idi..oeerrmm.. players complaining that they can't log into their accounts, and it is rude to delete their accounts even if they violate the game rules. Some people even scream at me for suspending their account to get them to respond. :roll: I would be killed by the mob, if I delete them on first offense. (Why do I get the sense that Jps want to see me killed by the mob? :?  :P )

He does a hell of a lot of work for AM and without him I cannot imagine what state the game would be in.
