We want to reiterate our stance on exploitation and remind people that any unintended use of mechanics, both in-game and through our web inventory system can and will be considered a violation of our ToU. As our work against the exploit continues we want to share the latest numbers and progress of the investigation.
 
Today, we have permanently banned the following accounts:

*Exploiter alt accounts: 21648

*Exploiter main accounts: 629

In addition, a further 426 accounts have been locked as part of the investigation and more locks may happen throughout its course.

We are fully aware that many of you have been locked for a full week and are waiting for news, however those locks will remain in place until we’ve fully handled all aspects of the exploit. We also strongly advise you to do your utmost to avoid interacting with any item that may have been gained through exploitation. It may lead to your account being caught up in the investigation and also locked.

We hope to conclude this matter as quickly as possible.


Out of the locked accounts, the following actions have been taken:

• 102 accounts have been unlocked within the first 24 hours with no further action taken
  
• 70 accounts have had the affected item(s) removed and were unlocked

Investigations are still ongoing for the remaining locked accounts, and actions will be taken depending on how severely the account was involved with any exploit.

In continuation of our promise to crack down on the more nefarious activities demonstrated by some players, we’ve been continuing our work against RMT and abusers. 

Additionally, we know that this week has brought several controversies in regards to exploits and the impact they have on the game. These issues are the current priority and we have been able to permanently ban the following accounts today:

* RMT: 323
* Exploiter alt accounts: 10706
* Exploiter main accounts: 75

Please note that the above list is incomplete, as our investigations are still ongoing. Additional bans / suspensions will be given in the coming week(s) as we complete these investigations. We ask for your patience as we work on this though as the investigations can be complex and we must ensure accuracy.

We are taking a tough stance on exploitation and wish to remind you that if something feels unintended, it’s safer not to get involved if you wish to protect your account.

There is work ahead, but our aim is to create a fairer ArcheAge for all of you.

Greetings inheritors!

We will be conducting emergency maintenance today, at the following times, for an estimated duration of 3 hours:



Maintenance is being conducted to resolve several store issues.

Please note that the game will shut down before maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

UPDATE:

The servers are now live!

Thank you for your patience.

The Land Rush will start on December 18th at 11:00 AM UTC for the EU servers and at 01:00 PM PST for the NA ones. Please note that this is a week later than initially communicated. The reason for this are several player issues found after ArcheAge's server launch on December 3.

Important information about Land Rush

Q. How will Kakao Games prevent hackers from claiming land once the transfer is completed and servers are open?
A. We will be monitoring servers closely. Anyone who abuses an exploit or uses a “land hack” will find their house swiftly demolished, and their account will receive a punishment determined by the Customer Service team.

Q. During the Land Rush, will the housing areas be put into Peace?
A. No, the housing areas will not be put into Peace during the Land Rush.

Q. Will the Auroria Land Rush be at the same time as the East/West Land Rush, or will it be staggered?
A. The Auroria Land Rush will not be staggered and will happen at the same time as the normal Land Rush.

Q. Will Beanstalks be disabled for the Land Rush?
A. No, it is not possible to disable the placement of a single type of design, including Beanstalks Mansions.
