[p]We, the B.D.C security team, are committed to maintaining a safe and stable environment for all of our players. From this day forwards, the B.D.C security team is officially launching our list of Ten "Don'ts" in Arena Breakout: Infinite. To ensure a smooth gaming experience, please read the following rules before playing the game.[/p][p][/p][p]
1. Don't Use Hacks[/p][p]A hack is any third-party software or hardware which adds features which hurt the fair gaming environment, including automatic aiming, ESP, or speed-ups. Whenever there is high suspicion of cheating, penalties of between 1 and 365 days suspension will be applied. We have a zero-tolerance approach to cheating. As soon as cheating has been verified, a severe penalty of a ten-year account and device ban will be imposed.[/p][p]Furthermore, we have also created an exclusive compensation plan, including raid losses, an entrance fee, and bonus compensation:[/p][p]

2. Don't Use Rule-breaking Scripts or Incompatible Tools[/p][p]Using in-game scripts to automate the "Knifer" item farming strategy, stealing supplies, or using any other illegitimate measures to take part in the game; as well as obtaining in-game rewards by any other unfair means, including using software or hardware which the game has banned or does not recommend using, will all result in penalties. Penalties include, but are not limited to, claiming back earnings, partial restrictions on in-game features, and account bans. (Account bans differ depending on the situation, up to 10 years.)[/p][p]

3. Don't Create, Sell, or Distribute Hacks[/p][p]Creating, selling, or distributing hacks or illegal scripts is an illegal act and may violate the laws and regulations of your current country or region. Ten "Don'ts" in Infinite will continue to support and co-operate with various local authorities to crack down on this behavior. Promoting hacks in-game will also result in a 10-year account ban.[/p][p][/p][p]
4. Don't Deliberately Form Teams with Cheating Players[/p][p]We will crack down hard on anyone deliberately forming teams with cheating players (matching with a cheating player by turning on auto-match during matchmaking will not be penalized). This behavior has a serious impact on in-game fairness and prevents a large number of players from enjoying the game normally. We will take the following penalty measures against these kinds of violations, including but not limited to: Reclaiming raid earnings, increasing the proportion of illegitimate earnings reclaimed, restricting certain functions, deducting Merit Score, and implementing a tiered account ban up to ten years for serious offenders.[/p][p]

5. Don't Team up Illegally[/p][p]We will closely monitor and review illegitimate behavior, such as deliberately matchmaking and entering the same game multiple times during the same period, and "malicious cooperation" between two or more teams (such as jointly attacking other players, notifying others of in-game information offline, etc.). Once verified, penalties such as Merit Score deductions and short-term bans will be imposed depending on the circumstances.[/p][p][/p][p]
6. Don't Abuse In-Game Bugs[/p][p]Some players have been abusing in-game bugs in the Kamona region. This behavior seriously impacts in-game fairness and the ordinary gameplay experience of a wide range of players. In order to uphold the in-game environment and keep the game fair, we will be issuing penalties based on the severity of the offense, including but not limited to: Merit Score deductions, reclaiming illegitimate earnings, tiered account bans, and more. Serious offenders may have their accounts banned for up to ten years.[/p][p] [/p][p]
7. Don't Engage in Real-World Trading[/p][p]A small number of players have been conducting real-world trades that break the rules, including targeted transfers of supplies within raids. These actions seriously harm the economic balance of the game and encourage the growth of script sellers and hacks on the black market. To ensure a fair gaming experience for a wide range of players, we will issue penalties to both parties engaged in real-world trading: These include, but are not limited to, trade bans, reclaiming supplies (or their value in Koen), and short-term account bans. Serious offenders may have their accounts banned for up to ten years.[/p][p]

8. Don't Engage in Negative In-Game Behavior[/p][p]In game, some players have been deliberately hurting their teammates, stealing supplies, going AFK or engaging in other negative in-game behaviors in special modes like Team Deathmatch. This has seriously impacted other players' gaming experience. In an effort to maintain a fair and healthy in-game environment, we will strictly deal with such behaviors:[/p][p]● Once verified, those who deliberately hurt their teammates will receive account bans up to 30 days.[/p][p]● Players who deliberately steal resources multiple times will have their Merit Score deducted according to the severity of the situation, and short-term bans will be implemented accordingly. Serious offenders will have their accounts banned for up to 30 days.[/p][p]● For players who go AFK in other game modes, apart from deducting Merit Score, warnings will be sent out via mail. Those who repeatedly fail to correct their behavior will be restricted from participating in some game modes.[/p][p]

9. Don't Post Inappropriate Messages or Harass Other Players[/p][p]Those who disseminate illegal, sensitive, or rude content or advertisements in the game, as well as use nicknames, chats, voice, or other functions to insult, mock, harass or make discriminatory remarks towards other players will be punished. Minor offenders will be muted or be forced to change their nicknames, etc. Serious offenders will receive account bans up to 10 years.[/p][p][/p][p]
10. Don't Share Accounts[/p][p]It is forbidden to share or rent out accounts to other players, or have others play on your account on your behalf, and it is not recommended to lend out your main gaming device to other players to take part in Arena Breakout: Infinite. Due to the nature of lending out game accounts or devices, any violation of the above regulations will be regarded as the act of the account or device owner themselves. Therefore, lifting bans on accounts or devices will not be possible.[/p][p]In addition, in response to the potential risk of theft for players, we have also introduced a Class II Password security mechanism for in-game accounts. We suggest that all players enable the Class II Password function to safeguard their accounts.[/p][p]
