16,000 Aion Accounts Banned Across EU and NA Servers

About one month ago, the accuse case between Asia players and Aion publisher had attracted much attention. Many people worried that account banned might also appear in North America sooner. Now it actually became true. NCsoft just posted an announcement and FAQ on the official forum for explanation this mass ban across all NA/EU servers. This time, nearly 16000 players found that their accounts have been banned after a unscheduled server reboot.

As you probably noticed, we've completed a server wide reboot without much notice on a day that we typically don't perform maintenance. It's only fair that we keep you in the loop and make sure you know what's going on. Over the last week we've been working on a list, we've been checking it twice, and today we found out who was naughty or nice. Ban Hammer Claus just came to town. When the servers come back online, nearly 16,000 accounts will have been removed from the game. If your account was banned, please read the following FAQ.

We'd like to reiterate that we've been listening to your concerns. We've been constantly adding to our Customer Service and Game Surveillance Unit. As we continue to move forward, you'll see more and more of these efforts. Thanks for your patience everyone, and have fun playing Aion!
