Sexual Harassment is NEVER Okay
Unfortunately, we had a case where a group of players coordinated a team effort of harassment against one of our players which involved a series of sexual harassment incidents in game, threats of violence against the person, posting vulgar and frankly disgusting videos online. These videos have been taken down by YouTube. This was reported to us and action was taken against six accounts.
This kind of behavior is never appropriate no matter the context. This active group was trying to push a player out of the game in a way which was not inductive to the rules of the game. Both in game actions and the greater context of outside game actions were considered. Any reports of similar behavior will be investigated and action will be taken if warranted.
This is also a reminder that if you feel threatened due to the actions of someone on the internet is to contact your local authorities and the platform holder’s support team (Ex. Discord app).
Editing Game Files WILL put your Account at Risk
There has been an increased number of questions surrounding this topic. We wanted to be clear;
Editing and modifying the game files of MO2 will put your account at risk of bans or strikes.
All reports sent to the GM/Support team will be investigated and confirmed.
