Account safety

Greetings Adventurers,It’s been rather quiet on our side lately, however, silence does not mean inaction. In fact, we have been working on a new way to catch those choosing to cheat in Black Desert Online. Today, we can share the results of a long investigation and process that has led to one of our strongest banwaves in some time.Our primary goal here at KakaoGames is for all of our players to be able to enjoy the game and have fun. Sadly, some players fall into the temptation to use illegitimate software to cheat and exploit, which ruins the fun of other players. We want to clarify though, that thisturns out in favour for the player using this software.Our stance is and has always been the same:Even if you don’t always see immediate action sometimes against abusing players, we’re constantly working behind the scenes to identify the abusers and the programs they use. No matter how much time it takes, we will continue investigating and persist. Being detected is inevitable.Today, we have bannedaccounts from Black Desert Online with the following breakdown:Over the past few months, the focus of our investigation has been to find a reliable detection for the software that had so far eluded our grasp. As always, we spend a very large amount of time to ensure there are no false positives. All accounts in our banwaves are dual verified and double-checked before the ban is executed, so we can be fully confident that the accounts in our banwave are guilty of breaking the Terms of Use and are rightfully banned.Remember to always keep your account safe. Do not share your account details with anyone, and activate Two Step Authentication If an account has been detected for third party software, that account will be banned, regardless of who used the software on it. Even if it was your friend, your family, or your cat that used your account, the responsibility lies with you and we will not unban an account after it has violated the Terms of Use.Resist the temptation to purchase “services” from advertisers you may see online or occasionally in-game. These services are fraudulent and will either use illegitimate third party software - even if they claim not to - to achieve whatever they advertise, or they will simply scam you from your account or money.Remember, play fair and play safe!- BDO Team
