I have been roaming the wilds of Nalcott and diving into RaidZone since the early days, so I check every Fair Play Announcement the way other players check patch notes. The latest report from the Once Human Development Team covers December 12 to December 18, 2025, and it lands in 2026 with a clear message: enforcement is not slowing down. During that week, Once Human banned 322 players in total. That number breaks down into 130 players penalized for cheating, 3 accounts suspended for alt-account exploitation and linked violations, and 10 players penalized for malicious interference.

The team also admits that the AI model is still being updated, and backend monitoring data shows a slight chance of false bans. If you believe you were hit unfairly, submit an appeal through the in-game appeal screen. The developers apologized for any inconvenience, and as a player who values clean competition, I appreciate that transparency. It does not erase every bad call, but it gives us a path to correction.

From my own matches, I can confirm the reports Metas keep sending are not imaginary. This week the most frequent cheating types included teleportation, Speed Up, and wall penetration. I have seen players blink across the map, fire faster than any legitimate build allows, and shoot through solid terrain. The team says each report was verified and addressed promptly. That matters in RaidZone, where a single cheater can ruin a whole survival competition.

What comes next is even more important. Once Human plans to enhance real-time data monitoring and retrospective enforcement against groups that engage in malicious in-game behavior. That includes frequent use of hacks, carrying cheaters, and verbal harassment. If suspicious malicious activity or cheating-gained benefits are detected, periodic retrospective penalties will follow. The list of penalized accounts will be published in the corresponding cycle Fair Play Announcement. I repeat the developers' point: RaidZone is a survival competition experience that emphasizes fairness. Any individual or team action that disrupts that fair environment is strictly prohibited. All Metas are encouraged to report incidents and submit evidence through the in-game reporting system or other official feedback channels. Once verified, appropriate action will be taken.

Automated scripts, game exploits, and bugs are also on the chopping block. Any exploitation to gain unfair advantages will result in penalties once confirmed. If you encounter violations, report them through designated channels or official customer service. The team says it will prioritize investigation and eliminate any behavior that undermines fair play. Let us work together to maintain a fair gaming ecosystem and reject malicious actions.

Here is the breakdown from the announcement:

Category Players penalized Details
Total bans 322 December 12 to December 18, 2025
Cheating 130 Teleportation, Speed Up, wall penetration, and other hacks
Alt-account exploitation and linked violations 3 Associated alt accounts also reviewed
Malicious interference 10 Disrupting others through in-game actions

The report also includes language violations. From December 12 to December 18, 2025, a total of 132 players received bans of varying durations for language violations. That includes 30 days for 1 player, 7 days for 8 players, 1 day for 99 players, and 2 hours for 24 players. Due to space limitations, the announcement does not provide the list of players banned for speech violations. I have been paying close attention to feedback about the chat restriction system, and the team has launched a focused optimization effort. Improvements include upgraded smart filtering to reduce false positives and better manual review processes for more accurate judgment. The developers say they will continue refining this system to make communication smoother.

This world is brought to life by our interactions. Whether we are sharing highlights or fighting alongside friends, every sincere exchange brings warmth to the game. I hope everyone uses kind words to build meaningful memories and protect the beauty of the world of Nalcott together.

For cheats and hacks, Once Human identifies the characteristics of newly discovered cheats and uses them for retroactive investigations. After banning an account, the team checks if it has any associated alt accounts and bans those as well. The list of players penalized for using cheats or hacks from December 12 to December 18, 2025, is included in the full announcement.

Malicious exploitation of game mechanics to disrupt others is another focus. Examples include blocking roads with vehicles, intentional interference, and obstructive building placement. The team takes a firm stance against behaviors that disrupt others' gaming experiences. If you come across such behavior, report it via the in-game reporting system or to customer support. Going forward, any verified malicious behavior that disrupts gameplay will result in immediate bans. All Meta-Humans are encouraged to play responsibly and help maintain a fair and enjoyable gaming environment. The list of players penalized for maliciously exploiting game mechanics between December 12 and December 18, 2025, is also included, though due to space limitations only ban records are displayed.

As a player who loves RaidZone, I know no anti-cheat system is perfect. False bans can happen, and appeals matter. But the direction here is right: more monitoring, more retrospective enforcement, more transparency, and more pressure on the groups that carry cheaters or harass others. The Once Human Development Team signs off with a simple request: report violations, submit evidence, and help keep Nalcott fair. I will keep doing my part, and I hope to see you in the wilds, fighting clean.
