The Aion 2 team has announced another round of account restrictions. This one went out on October 28 at 20:00 PDT / October 29 at 04:00 CET and hit 4,651 accounts found to be breaking the game’s Operation Policy.
According to the official announcement, the developers keep a constant eye on in-game activity and the wider state of the service. This wave followed a review of accounts showing suspicious behaviour.
Who got banned and why
The restrictions fall into two broad categories:
- Botting and gold farming: using macros, bots or other unauthorized programs, plus organized play patterns that point to gold farming or real-money trading (RMT).
- Economy abuse: unusual trading activity that disrupts the in-game economy.
In the Operation Policy’s sanctions table, the listed reasons are Gold Farming / Bot Operations, Use of Unauthorized Programs and Real-Money Trading.
For players worried about getting caught up by mistake, the team says restrictions are only handed out after a review. It also says that ordinary play, including long grinding sessions, is not affected. That should reassure anyone who spends hours farming the same spot by hand.
Temporary security locks are not bans
The announcement also covers a smaller group of accounts that were temporarily locked as a precaution. These are separate from the bans above. A lock happens when the system detects a login from a device or connection that could be a security risk, such as a possible account compromise.
The developers stress that a security lock is not a penalty. It is meant to protect your account and items until the situation can be checked. If your account has been locked this way, the team asks you to contact Customer Support to get access back.
The same applies if you think your account was restricted by mistake. Players can file a ticket through plaync’s Customer Support, and the team says every request is reviewed individually. Links to the Operation Policy and the support page are included in the original post.
Bots, gold sellers and RMT tend to flood any new MMORPG in its first months. Regular ban waves like this one are one of the main ways studios try to keep the economy stable and the open world playable. The Aion 2 team says it will keep working to make sure all Daevas can play in a fair and secure environment, so more rounds of restrictions are likely.
