Roleplays and Cheat Reports

Post by Koi-Wish »

Fellow players,

This could have gone in announcements or player chat or roleplay chat but I will simply post it here for now.

This is a generic statement but one that really should have never had to have been brought up.

If your going to send in cheat reports, please don't elaborate or make things worse then they appeared.

I won't say whom, and I don't want to start an argument of he said/she said/I saw it too - so please don't start pointing, hooting and hollering, just be more accurate.

We get cheat reports quite often but some of them have no or "little" merit. And not just yesterday, but throughout the life of our Project - we investigate quite a few thru logs, video footage or whatever means possible.

ie: Yesterday we got two regarding the Darkmare Maxtra Ztatha. One said the Darkmare had his back against the wall. Video footage of the fight showed Maxtra stand still for never longer then 2-4 seconds at any given moment with nearly constant encircling of the spiked columns. Yes his back hit the wall a few times in the heat of battle but never intentionally backed up to it for invulnerability sakes. Inevitably a back will end up against a wall, it happens. Cheating would be backing up to the wall, and evoking Razorwind/Firestorm in a God-Mode invulnerable-like state.... Not for any moment did the video suggest any form of cheating using the walls. We got another cheat report later suggesting he woke at near diss intentionally. Again this was inaccurate, there were storms in and around the City at that time as reported by various players and GMs. The DM stormed at 80% max DreamSoul - perhaps a near diss had been seen shortly before at some other interval of the battle, but at the point of storm the report was inaccurate.

It was also stated that Maxtra used Abjure, Razorwind, Firestorm and Chaotic Vortex infused weapon, even against a small group (which oddly as a side note did not lead to all of their demise even though a complaint was submitted referring to a possible OP attack, which could be argued more effectively if everyone had collapsed but the logs showed only one contender in that particular battle to have floated(albeit multiple times)) This attack did occur and those arts and/or items may have been used as Maxtra Ztatha is supposed to be growing and extremely powerful, dangerous Darkmare within the City whom actually has a backstory developing within the City. Feel free to role-play with the GM and PCs regarding the threat.

Please take into consideration that when a player submits any type of reports, be it a roleplay, cheat, or bug reports, it is sent off their respective destinations for the attention of the GMs. We, as a team, take these reports seriously and queue them for attention. We expect our community to utilize each function with detailed accuracy.

For example, let us say you witness some form of player harassment, we would expect our players to reach out to us in our absence. Please open your dialog/text bug and select the "CHEAT" report function and report to us pertinent details of the situation. "Dreamer A just collapsed Dreamer B and said ((#!!@$% you!)) and then emoted some inappropriate content" We will pursue the matter further on a case by case basis.

However, when someone attempts to utilize the tools in place for childish means or someone's fleeting amusement, it creates unnecessary drain in resources that could be devoted towards the game and not spent on reviewing through logs and/or other methods. Any misuse and/or abuse of these tools will not be tolerated and subject to case-by-case penalties and possible suspension along with loss of other game-wide/server-wide privileges including but not limited to termination (on repeated instances).

Furthermore, this type of behavior is not isolated to our in-game report functions. Certain individuals have chosen to be 'creative' through IRC and emails. We ask that this behavior ceases immediately.

Thank you in advance for your continued support, prompt attention, and unrivaled courtesy as we work together to keep our little corner of the gaming world running and providing an environment for all to share.
