Hundreds of DAoC Accounts Suspended

Mythic has announced that they have suspended “a few hundred” Dark Age of Camelot accounts after catching players using cheat programs with their new anti-hack technology. Here’s the full post from the Camelot Herald:

On one hand, we were happy to see such a healthy drop in the number of people using (radar) programs (compared to what we turned up on our first few test runs of the new anti-hacker technology). On the other hand, we are sad that some people seemed to think we were bluffing when we said we can now detect these programs. As promised earlier here on the Herald, we will extend a short amnesty towards the doubters. We have just sent out a few hundred one day suspensions.

If you receive this email, and you do not use these programs, check the name of the suspended account carefully before you panic. If you sold or traded your account to another player, it’s possible that he didn’t change the contact email information.

If you did not receive this email, but your account has been suspended, you should update the email address on the account ASAP. We will never sell or trade our email database, so please provide a legitimate contact address.

If it’s your account, and you got the email, please uninstall your third party programs immediately. You now have proof it wasn’t a bluff.

Thanks! Enjoy New Frontiers!
