Hello everyone,

As some of you may have noticed, the use of certain third-party tools—particularly debuff detection tools—has become increasingly common among players. Some have even reported that their own friends are using these tools.

We want to make it absolutely clear: We now have a detection system in place.

For over 20 years, Archlord has remained a game of skill and strategy. However, third-party tools remove even the minimal skill required, turning the experience into something robotic and unfair. To ensure a level playing field for everyone, we have taken decisive action:

1) Our detection system is now operational, and improving it will be our top priority.

2) Players caught using detected tools will receive a permanent IP/HWID ban—NO EXCEPTIONS. If an account is shared, everyone who accessed it will also be banned. Additionally, offenders will be permanently banned from Discord, with no chance to appeal.

3) If any tools manage to bypass detection, we will adjust game mechanics to counteract them. Potential changes include:

a. Adjusting cooldowns and cast times of key debuffs to render tools ineffective.
b. Implementing further limits on global cooldowns and casts.
c. If necessary, removing the debuff cancellation system entirely.

While these measures aren’t ideal, allowing cheating to continue is not an option.

What we need from the community:

1) Report any third-party tools you encounter.
2) Report players you are certain are using these tools. They will be closely monitored using both software and manual observation.
3) Players who provide helpful information will remain anonymous and will be rewarded.
4) Banned players will be publicly listed.

This is your final warning. If you are using these tools, stop now. We are fully committed to keeping Archonia fair for all players, and we will not hesitate to take action.

Note: Regular macros to cast skills, and tools for item switching are allowed.
