Banhammered: IGG bans botting Zu Online accounts

The problem of botting is something that happens in most online games, but its not something that should be ignored. Zu Online‘s IGG takes the matter into its own hands by banning accounts marked with bot usages, all in an effort to make the game more palatable for the rest of the gaming population. More details in the full article.

All in the name of fair play: IGG has announced that it has already banned the accounts marked for bot usage in Zu Online, in an effort to make sure that all players have a better, and more fair, gaming experience.

IGG has stated that it has a zero-tolerance policy toward gamers who are caught using third-party software to automate their characters’ movements. Anyone who gets caught doing so will have to make do with a ban that lasts for at least seven days.

And we say, “That’s good, and carry on chaps,” since botting, while beneficial to those who use them, has a tendency to sour the overall atmosphere in-game. Silkroad Online‘s Joymax is another online gaming provider that recognizes the need to nip the botting problem from its roots, making use of a public botting and punishment list to curb the number of offenders.
