Hello EZ players! It appears that the EZ Server rules haven't been followed lately or looks like even in recent months. There are a lot of things that EZ Server is already very lenient on, but one of the things that we've always been hard pressed on is the toleration of AFK botting.

117 Accounts and 303 characters are now suspended for a week that were associated with anyone that had been AFK botting. Consider this an extremely FAIR warning - this offense has historically been bannable. There are a lot of things that we allow to macro and bot to make boxing easier, but AFK farming is unfair to everyone and you know who you are.


If you shared an account with anyone who had been doing this your account also falls under this blanket - which is also against the rules.

If you need help reading the rules again, they are posted here: http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=8.0

If you believe this is in error, send me a PM/E-Mail - don't blow up this thread as I've explained everything as to why.

Thanks everyone.

EDIT:

I've gone through and purged Essences and GSOA's from characters that were suspended for AFK botting. Be lucky you weren't permanently banned, and may this serve as warning to anyone else that you won't get away with it. It's unfair to everyone else to AFK bot and plenty of it has gone on. I was nice enough to keep most other items (Ultimate weapons and other ranked items) in-tact at their current rank.

  • Essence of Qvic x 1060
  • Essence of Cazic Thule x 884
  • Essence of Dragons Major x 607
  • Essence of Gods Minor x 584
  • Essence of Dragons Minor x 552
  • Essence of Gods Major x 532
  • Essence of The Abyss x 232
  • Essence of Temple Veeshan x 110
  • Essence of Loping Plains x 46
  • Essence of Norrath x 23
  • Gemstone of the Ages x 20

"When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." R.A. Heinlein

Best note to take from this is that Akkadius is watching and botters will be weeded out

Something more then a weeks suspension cause honestly thats not even punishing them for breaking the rules. Cheaters getting to keep there spoils from cheating is lame.

Oh I never said they were going to keep botted loot.

I have a week to take care of the rest.

Been helping out a relative with cancer and taking care of things, combing through nitty gritty details will wait until I have a little time to sort through.

Next time will be a firm ban on anyone, the suspension serves as a server warning

Im sure the people afk botting commited the acts fulling assuming if they got caught they would get banned. They should all thank akkadius dearly for not banning them all tho i suspect some may just quit on there own.
