Soulmask News

Dear Chieftain：

Soulmask is very concerned about the fairness of the game and is fully committed to creating a favorable playing environment. Our operations team will review violations and take necessary measures.If any player is found to have violated the rules, we will take actions such as issuing warnings, imposing speech bans, or even banning accounts.

If you encounter any violations in the game, we strongly recommend that you report the offending player in the game or inform our administrators through the community, so that we can address the violations as soon as possible. We hope you have a pleasant experience in the game!

Recently, a total of 158 players who violated the rules have been banned (including but not limited to behaviors such as cheating, which seriously undermines the fairness of the game, and promoting cheat information in chat channels, etc.). The list includes those who have received either permanent bans or short-term suspension warnings:

Fresh Meats changed to recovering Satiety instantly from recovering Satiety over several seconds

The tribesmen cap that can be recorded in Solo and Private Server has been raised to 10

Ironblood Guard - Muscle Revival new effect: Charges the healing energy every 180 seconds in duration. Once entering the Near-death status, releases energy immediately to heal injuries

Optimized the clipping-check rule in placing Brewing Stand

In PVP Mode, you can plunder supplies from all kinds of tables directly after 20% of their durability is destroyed. We've added a reminder when it could be plundered
