   Updates - 07JUN10

Account Suspensions
We've tweaked some of the algorithms that identify players with 
"more than 2 accounts", and a further 247 accounts have cropped up.
  These accounts have been suspended.

We should add that some players Petitioned us to delete unwanted 
accounts on their behalf, so there is not necessarily any stigma 
attached to a player with (Suspended) after their playername.

Where we have suspended accounts, we have left the players' oldest 2 
active accounts live.  We think this is very generous of us, and 
requests from players who were breaking the rules to "close this account
 instead of that account" will be met with steely silence and foreboding
 glances.

As per the Terms & Conditions of Service, Suspended or deleted 
account will *not* be eligible for Prestige refunds or transfers if they
 had prestige on the account.

If you believe your account has been incorrectly suspended, then please 
open a Petition.  Suspended accounts will remain suspended until the 
weekend, whereupon they will be turned into compost for the Illyriad 
fields.

Thank you for your attention.

	Would be interesting to see if they have boosted their 1st 2 accounts with the 3rd, surely there should be some form of punishment handed out if they have and not just an account taken off them.

	In some cases, more than the extra accounts have been removed from the game. In a few cases, comprehensive, complete, all account bans have been applied. However, let me set a general rule here: we won't discuss specific ingame moderation - including bannings, suspension, penalties, and even (on rare occasions) reimbursements - either in global chat or in the forums. If people have issues they wish to discuss about moderation of any kind they are urged to open a Petition ingame (click on Support under the options menu). If ingame access has entirely been revoked, instead send a forum Private Message to GM Stormcrow (click on my name in the forum and choose "Send private message"). Locking this thread. SC
