Thanks to the quick work of our development team, we were recently able to investigate and nullify a new illegal third-party program before it had the opportunity to cause harm to the game world, as well as institute logging that recorded all attempts to use the program. After extensive research of those logs, we have successfully identified and permanently suspended over 100 accounts that were attempting to gain an unfair advantage in UO through the use of this program.
Although the results of our anti-exploit efforts are often not publicized, we are consistent in our enforcement of the Terms of Service and the Rules of Conduct. We do have the ability to track the use of exploits, and because our goal is to ensure a quality game for all our players, we take full advantage of that ability, as we have today.
Please keep in mind that using illegal third party programs is not only a violation of UO rules, but these programs may also be used to place Trojans on your PC that may cause your computer harm or pass your private personal information to others. In some cases, people that claim to have the newest "cheat" program may actually be trying to claim your personal information for malicious reasons. In other cases, those that distribute these programs may simply be trying to get your account status in trouble. You should never download anything from individuals over the Internet if you don't know them personally!
Ultimately, the best advice is to not use unapproved third-party programs at all if you value your computer or your Ultima Online game account. Don't assume that we will take no action simply because you've heard of someone else using an exploit and getting away with it. If you are unsure as to whether something is considered illegal in Ultima Online, we encourage you to send us a question through our RightNow Web support database at http://support.uo.com, or page a GM in-game if it is an urgent matter.
We are committed to removing those players that choose to interfere with the Ultima Online service, and will continue to work towards maintaining an enjoyable experience for all of our players.
