New World permanently bans accounts for duping exploits

A few days ago, after discovering multiple duping glitches, New World had to shut down the in-game economy temporarily. Players can basically create multiple extremely valuable items, such as trophies and even in-game New World Coins. Now the economy is back, but Amazon Games has not dealt with those who exploited this or earlier loopholes.

According to a developer blog, terrible actors discovered an error that allows players to copy New World Coins and resources in the game through data packet manipulation. Similar attacks against different game systems have also been used in the house recently. For these loopholes, they together permanently ban over 1,200 players, remove their items from the economy, and cancel their trading post list.

The post continues to apologize to the vast majority of non-repeated participants who have been affected by the downtime and massive influx of the economy. They stated they took some time to unlock and find the items and New World Gold, but they have permanently banned 460 additional players from participating in the original transaction or updated housing development activities. By doing so, they can remove 98% of the remaining cheated items and RPG New World Coins in the game. The remaining few deceived items result from players who accidentally discovered the deceived problem but did not take any exploitative actions, and will Buy New World Coins.

Amazon Games also investigated how deep the impact of the exploits are and believes that advanced equipment has not “significantly increased.” The developer stated it is still studying the list of items involved in housing development and is preparing to use a permanent hammer in due course. They stated they will not tolerate exploits, and punishments can and will include permanent bans on players who use them. But players can also buy New World Coins to buy some equipment.
