Captains, trade in-game items only with players you trust.
Think twice before hitting accept button.
Unfortunately there is no effective way to 100% prevent scamming by design and in the same time scamming is very hard to prove in general.
The case is closed.
Investigation complete, captain Herr Nilsson is warned as intentional and sustained blocking of friendly ships without permission of the captain of a blocked vessel is not allowed.
Investigation of potential farming complete as well. Appropriate actions were taken.
Indeed there was a drop of players (more than a half of all players) on our graphs. Since the server did not drop all players, the issue must be related to side ISPs, online is stable at the moment, we will monitor the situation.
Captains,
It seems that:
Clan have not interfered with other clans port battles, and have not griefed anyone in instances (by blocking or green on green damage). Clan have just silently betrayed the nation. Which is allowed by rules.
If you have evidence of active trolling or griefing of your nation in national chat by alts please report it in tribunal. They will be chat banned.
Alt has to openly admit to being an enemy and act as an enemy - for example - call your nation a nation of losers and invite everyone to join his nation.
if he was just talking about the tutorial that does not count as griefing or trolling even if you know he is an enemy "ambassador"
Captains, once you experience the issue with lag spikes and such, please right away run connection test report via Steam Launcher and let me know via in-game or forum pm.
