Mortal Online 2 Bans Hundreds Of Accounts For Bypassing Full-Loot Mechanics

With Mortal Online 2 being a hardcore PvP sandbox game, players should be prepared to lose all their gear when they die. Some crafty players however have resorted to abusing an exploit to prevent that from happening which caused them to lose not only their items but their entire account when Star Vault slapped them with permanent bans.

Star Vault reports that they’ve banned hundreds of accounts caught using the exploit to bypass one of the game’s core mechanics. “These bans are permanent, and apply not to individual accounts but to the players themselves,” the studio said. “Along with their characters, all permanently banned accounts will also have any player houses or strongholds they own deleted from the world along with anything inside them. These bans are also being applied retroactively to players in the past who may have received an incorrect action on their account instead of a permanent ban.”

The studio will be releasing the exact number of accounts banned in a developer stream scheduled for later today. They also warned players against engaging in other illicit activities such as duping items which will also warrant a permanent ban.

“We are very committed to battling exploiting and cheating in our game, and we hope our most recent policy updates and actions reflect that,” Star Vault said. “We know how important it is for the health of the game and community to combat bad actors and ensure a fair field of play, and we are always working to improve our systems and processes to do so.”

Players who want to appeal a ban are asked to submit a ticket through the help center on the official site.
