Sigil / Vanguard Thanks the community for their anti-gold farming help

submitted by lifebane on Mar 27th, 2007

Greetings!

We would like to take a moment to thank our players for their assistance in helping us combat the RMT (real market trades), i.e. the gold selling and powerleveling organizations. Your assistance through reports and petitions has been invaluable to us in identifying these individuals and removing them from our game. Please continue to report individuals you suspect are involved in the transactions involving in-game items, money or services. With your help we have already banned more than 7 00 gold selling, powerleveling and solicitation accounts used by various organizations.

Some of these accounts were trial accounts and have resulted in our adjustment to the access a trial account has to some game mechanics. Moving forward trial accounts will not be able to be used in the delivery or advertisement of gold selling and powerleveling services.

Further, we would like to reiterate how important it is that players not participate in RMT or have any association with companies that offer these services. Please be advised that we consider supporting these organizations a serious policy violation, and grounds for action against the offending account, up to and including the termination of the account.

We remain very dedicated to the preservation and health of our economy and the integrity of our industry, and we hope that you, as players, expect nothing less.

The Vanguard Customer Support Team!
