NCSoft Files Lawsuit Against Five Illegal Macro Users in Aion 2

Obstruction of Business Charges
"Undermining the In-Game Economic System for Account Sales and Currency Distribution"

NCSoft announced on December 12 that it has filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul against five users of illegal programs (macros) on charges of obstruction of business.

These individuals are accused of repeatedly using illegal macro programs in "Aion 2," a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released by NCSoft last month, thereby damaging the in-game economic system and disrupting the gameplay of legitimate users.

NCSoft stated, "We have confirmed that the accused not only used illegal macro programs, but also engaged in account sales and in-game currency distribution for personal gain, thereby undermining the fairness and economic system of the game," adding, "We determined that these actions constitute interference with normal game service and operations."

NCSoft also revealed that, in order to protect regular users, it has imposed usage restrictions on 72,621 accounts that violated operational policies in a total of 23 rounds since the launch of "Aion 2." On December 9, through a live broadcast by the development team, the company reviewed additional measures based on the severity of macro abuse and announced its intention to take strong legal action.

NCSoft emphasized, "Following this legal action, we will continue to respond with strong measures," and added, "We are currently monitoring and analyzing accounts suspected of using illegal programs, and if confirmed, we plan to take further strong legal action."

The company further stated, "Legal action against the abuse of illegal programs such as macros is an essential measure to prevent harm to the vast majority of regular game users and to maintain a healthy and safe gaming ecosystem."

An NCSoft representative said, "The use of illegal programs must be eradicated," and added, "We will continue to strive to protect our users and create a stable gaming service environment."
