Garena Bans Maphack Users

20 Oct 2009 – We are banning the accounts that have been discovered to be violating our Terms of Service, by using maphacks on Garena. The bans on the accounts will be effective immediately. This is to continue to safeguard the platform against abusive gamers and create a better environment for the rest of the Garena community.

You can download the list of banned users' UID in the attachment. This round we have banned over 7000 accounts.

Here are some helpful tips you can take to avoid getting banned.

1) Practice caution in letting other people use or borrow your account. They might be using a cracked version on the game. If they logged in your account using a cracked version, your account will get banned as well.

2) Check out the Garena version being used in cyber or LAN cafes. If it's a cracked version, DO NOT LOG IN with your account. You can help other gamers by informing the cafe owners to uninstall the cracked version and use the official Garena platform.

3) Avoid visiting Garena crack websites. As it's in the nature of their website to defraud and attack other programs, they might be aiming for your account as well.

4) Never try any maphacks.

Always remember to download the official Garena version from website, www.garena.com. Do not accept any files sent to you claiming to be official versions. This might compromise your account and lead to a ban. If you are unsure of your version, you can uninstall and re-download the Garena client on the website.

Take note that the Time on the ban info page is only the time when we do the manual banning. This is not the time using the cracks.
