Dear Metas,
With the official launch on mobile platforms, the development team has optimized the definitions and penalties for various in-game violations. We will continue to refine the fair play rules alongside game updates.
Thank you for your continued support of Once Human. We are committed to providing a fair and healthy gaming environment to ensure a pleasant experience for all players.

Confirmed violations will result in non-appealable account bans and the list of offenders will be announced regularly on our official website and other platforms.

Method 2: Send an email to oncehuman@global.netease.com and provide the banned account's information.
Q: Where can I report misconduct by other players?
A:
Method 1: In the game, go to the offending player's namecard, select More, and make a report.

Method 3: Send an email to oncehuman@global.netease.com and provide the information and violations of the account you're reporting.

A: After making a report, you will receive updates on it via in-game mail. We also regularly publish lists of penalized players.
Q: What if the player I reported wasn't penalized?
A: If you're unsatisfied with the outcome, gather more detailed evidence and resubmit your report. We will review the case based on the available evidence.
Q: If I lend my account to someone else and their actions lead to a ban, can the ban be lifted?

A: Once Human has a strict zero-tolerance policy against cheating. Downloading, installing, or attempting to use third-party tools with illicit functions will result in a permanent ban.

A: Logging in from unauthorized devices or under suspicious circumstances may result in a ban.
To keep Once Human fair and secure, cooperation between developers and players is essential. We do not tolerate any behavior that undermines the game's balance. Confirmed violations will be penalized, and the list of penalized players will be announced on our website. We are committed to maintaining a positive gaming environment for our players.
Thank you for your support and understanding!
