Zu Online IGG - Image 1All in the name of fair play: IGG has announced that it has already banned the accounts marked for bot usage in Zu Online, in an effort to make sure that all players have a better, and more fair, gaming experience.

IGG has stated that it has a zero-tolerance policy toward gamers who are caught using third-party software to automate their characters' movements. Anyone who gets caught doing so will have to make do with a ban that lasts for at least seven days.

And we say, "That's good, and carry on chaps," since botting, while beneficial to those who use them, has a tendency to sour the overall atmosphere in-game. Silkroad Online's Joymax is another online gaming provider that recognizes the need to nip the botting problem from its roots, making use of a public botting and punishment list to curb the number of offenders.
