Actions Against Illegal Silver Acquisition and Market Abuse

Dear, Saviors.

First of all, thank you for your utmost patience and we at IMC would like to sincerely apologize for having kept our players waiting all these hours. We would like to make a couple of announcements regarding the actions taken on the issues of illegal silver acquisition and the subsequent abusive market usage.


During the extended maintenance, we have banned 46 accounts for direct involvement in the illegal acquisition of silver and market abuse and also banned an addition of 259 accounts on the basis of the IP's the directly involved accounts have connected from:

Additionally, we have performed the following tasks during our extended maintenance:
- All market transactions involving the banned accounts have been revoked.
- All items sold in the transactions involving the banned accounts have been returned to the respective sellers and all silver earned through such market transactions have been reclaimed.
- All returned items are retrievable from the players' market retrieve tab.
- Some players' silver may have been moved from the market retrieve tab to the players' inventory in order for us to deduct the silver earned from a possible market abuse case.

- For accounts where items to be retrieved are no longer present, we have retrieved the silver of amount equal to the item's value as the first step. All affected accounts will either have their item restored or silver returned to them after further investigation.
- For accounts that no longer possess the items to be retrieved and also do not have enough silver for us to retrieve, we have left such accounts untouched provided that the items had been listed on the market at a fair price.
- All players who have deliberately listed items at a high price on the market for the purpose of profit or transferring silver between accounts have been and will continue to be banned as the investigation progresses.


Most of the illegally acquired silver spent on the market have been successfully retrieved through the process detailed above and we are currently doing our best to examine the cases where further investigation is required. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
IMC Staff
