TGIF! Here’s your development news round-up for the past week! Player Bans February 2 - February 15 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 20 The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New Limited Items! A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs: Lunar New Year Weekday Calendar To celebrate the Year of the Sheep (or Ram) we’re holding a themed Calendar next week! It starts Monday February 23 at 10:00 am PST and wraps up on February 27 at 10:00 pm PST. Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Hey Players! Aardvark here, back from my time away with the tribe. I noticed Mister mi7ch was fielding some questions in relations to last week's ban numbers, so here's a little additional detail for you folks. While I'm not going to go into detail about our systems for identifying and removing problem accounts, I can verify that yes, we do review IP information. However this is by no means the only information we look at and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis after taking a variety of factors into account. Because the privacy of account-related information is kind of a big deal, we don't discuss investigations with anyone other than the account's owner. However here are some common reasons why a reported player might not have been banned: We're still investigating this person A penalty other than a permanent ban has been applied They haven't actually broken any rules Please be aware that this is GENERAL information, NOT directed at any particular person or case! Seriously. We get, like, bajillions of reports, so please don't assume this is about you and start yelling at us. Cheers, Aardvark Who is digging the colour pink right now. Terrible Joke of the Week Here's your lame joke of the week! What do you call dangerous precipitation? Spoiler A rain of terror. That's it for TGIF this week, everybody!
