We've recently receivedfeedback that in RaidZone Mode, some groups are forming teams that far exceedthe Hive size limit to cooperate in combat. This breaks match fairness and ruinsthe experience for players in normal Hives. After thoroughly checking the data,we've decided to officially treat "illegal teaming" as a violation.The rules are as follows:
Illegal teaming isdefined as bypassing the in-game Team function to form groups that exceed theHive limit, privately communicating via out-of-game channels or other means,and cooperating in-game to fight against other players to undermine faircompetition. In Once Human's RaidZone Mode, player confrontations should bebased on the premise of not exceeding the Hive limit. Illegal teaming directlybreaches the fairness baseline of RaidZone Mode and damages the gameplayexperience of normal Hive players.
All Metas are requiredto strictly follow the system's limits on team size. Any player detectedengaging in suspected illegal teaming will receive a warning or penalty inaccordance with the rules.
We have enabledmonitoring for illegal teaming in the RaidZone and will conduct daily dataretroactive reviews on live server data. In addition, we have opened acorresponding "Illegal Teaming" report entry in-game. We welcome allMetas to report such behavior. Once our data review is complete, we willprovide the results and add them to the "Fair OperationsAnnouncement" for public notice.
Penalty Tier 1:Accounts confirmed to have violated the rules will face an in-game mail warningand a character ban ranging from 3 hours to 7 days, depending on the cumulativenumber of violations and the severity of the offense.
Penalty Tier 2: Foraccounts with multiple violations or particularly severe offenses, an accountban of up to 30 days will be added on top of the aforementioned penalties. Theexact duration will be applied according to the penalty tier corresponding tothe account's cumulative number of violations.
All penalty recordswill be synced to the account's penalty history. Cumulative violation recordswill serve as the basis for determining subsequent penalty tiers and will notbe reset upon season changes.
We sincerely invite allMetas to join us in maintaining a fair and competitive environment on the onNalcott.
