Bug Exploitation

Nevertheless, some bugs can never be resolved in a complex gaming system played by thousands of players. As a result, some bugs can be observed during your gameplay experience. Some of these bugs are minor ones and would not really affect your gameplay experience. However, these bugs can sometimes be used as an unfair advantage to some players. Penalty is exercised based on the ff. factors:

  • Bug Exploitation is performed maliciously, repeatedly, and intentionally
  • Bug Exploitation cause damage to another player, character, gameplay, and the economy
  • Whether or not there was an attempt in concealing the exploitation

The following sanctions are given to players who were proved to have the violations:

  • If the act is unintentional, only a verbal warning is given
  • Suspension from the game
  • Account termination in extreme cases

To define extreme cases with regards to bug exploitation:

  • Exploitation that has sever impact on the economy, or individual
  • Destruction and disruption of service, with the intention of crashing a server/gameplay

Abuse of Game Mechanics
