An investigation into an IP address that was known to be associated with cheating and abuse revealed a player had been obscuring their multiplay. They were logged on simultaneously with both a LS character and a DS character, repeatedly across multiple alts, which was presumably used to scout out DS activity to allow for risk-free gameplay.

As a result, a player's recently played characters will be:
  • zapped
  • in lieu of a time consuming investigation to determine how many qps were gained illegally, we are docking all their qps and putting them at the appropriate rank for their qps
  • no bonus applied for a period of 6 months
As a side note, the investigation, reporting and follow up took a good chunk out of a Staff member's limited available time, which directly impacted the amount of stuff that could be done for other players. As long as individuals opt to be selfish, it will harm the game, to the point that I personally suspect that cheaters and abusers are eventually going to be the death of immortal involvement in the game.
