Chapter 1282 (1/2)

Chapter 1282: 414. Don’t be afraid of causing a big scene

Every game has its rule breakers, and every game settles scores after the harvest, pursuing and banning those violators.

Often, just because you haven’t been banned for cheating now doesn’t mean you won’t be banned in the future; it’s simply that the officials haven’t got around to it yet.

However, the vast majority of players who were banned would claim they were banned by mistake. A few even loudly complain on forums, ranting about the random bans, and then they flame wars with players who respond to their posts.

This situation was particularly noticeable on Day One of the new expansion.

Just on this day alone, the game officials announced nearly 50 permanently banned player accounts on the homepage.

The reason for the bans was uniform: modifying the game helmet on their own, violating the Player Conduct Rules that every player must agree to upon entering the game.

Those whose accounts had been banned re-registered new ones and started flame wars on the game forums.

Some took photos of their game helmets and posted them in the forum thread, swearing an oath that if they ever modified their game helmet, their entire family would drop dead.

Others went all out and live-streamed themselves smashing their game helmets to vent their anger.

A small group shared screenshots of their requests to the Company for paper invoices, urging other falsely banned players to exert pressure on the game officials like they did.

In any case, not a single person admitted to modifying their game helmet; they all believed they had been wrongly banned.

Mason Gray thought the same.

He was casually strolling through the Magic Academy when he was unexpectedly prompted by the game that he had been disconnected.

After several attempts, he could not log back in.

Just when he thought it was due to server overload following today’s expansion update, a message about his account being banned popped up on his phone.

This sent Mason Gray into a panic!

If he couldn’t infiltrate the Magic Academy and cause havoc, how would he complete the Dark Divine Cult’s deadly task?

If the task failed, wouldn’t his life be on the line?

Mason Gray was plunged into fear.

But what he hadn’t expected was that even though his account was banned, he was still receiving task messages.

When the game’s task interface appeared before him, Mason Gray was dumbfounded!

What did he see?!

He saw line after line of System Text and the concise task interface.

With his account gone, how could he still be receiving messages from within the game?

Upon further examining the content on the task interface, Mason Gray’s pupils dilated and a hopeful light flashed in his eyes.
