Dear all,
We aim to provide a fun and fair environment for all players to enjoy and experience. We know there are some players trying to gain unfair advantages by using an illegally modified client, addons...etc. That is a headache for us! However, we are and will always be trying to improve our system to prevent hackers from ruining your experience! And here is a recent update we have done to further prevent hackers, including those who are less likely to be detected!
▶ Players will experience a slight "lag" situation while entering a new zone, this is not a normal server lag due to connection issue, instead, it is our system trying to detect any suspicious activity done by players.
▶ We have now improved our report system, players can easily use /report command to report any rules-breaker seen and any member of staff will be notified instantly and take immediate reaction.
▶ We have more precise data logging system to ensure there are no illegal data being installed and used in order to, for example: duping items, amending data related to the amount of currency/item...etc
▶ We will have a periodical review of our anti-cheat system and a random player sample collection on any illegally boosted/duped item existing in their inventory/enderchest/play-vaults/island storages...etc
▶ We have also expanded the range of detection on suspicious player movement/action. For example: originally only players having 12 CPS or above would trigger the alert since we found out that people might be using so-called "blatant cheating", we have lowered the boundary to 10 CPS which would trigger our anti-cheat system, therefore, putting the suspect on our list/alert any member of staff.
▶ Hence we have improvised our system when detected cheaters, including performing automated anti-action (eg: kick, ban), but we know we couldn't rely on the AI system fully, therefore most punishment (like ban) would be performed by a member of staff in order not to perform the wrong/unfair punishment or even the worst-case scenario a false punishment.
▶ Furthermore, besides physical illegal behaviour detection, verbal behaviour is being detected now as well. Performing action such as swearing, spamming would result in a kick/mute if repeat offending. Hence, more words are now being blacklisted from appearing in public chat channels in order to keep it clean.
Here is a review of our latest measurements regarding counter-rules-breaker. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know.
Remember, your help is needed in order for us to improve! Stand against rules-breaker, and let us together make InnotecCraft a better place for all players!
