Announcement on Crackdown Against Unofficial Trading and Recovery of Illegal Items
Dear Wanderers:
Recently, we have found that some rule-breaking players use gimmicks such as "low-price discounted gifts" to lure others into unofficial trades, and then engage in fraudulent activities through malicious black-market tactics. Such actions not only severely undermine the fair environment of the game, but also cause unsuspecting players to suffer actual losses — after paying money offline, their game items are reclaimed by the system due to the sellers' violations.
To protect everyone's property and crack down on these black-market scams at the source, we will implement the following measures:
1. Immediate Bans on Fraudulent Accounts
Accounts identified as the source of these violations, including those that initiate malicious chargebacks or lure others into offline transactions, will be subject to long-term or permanent bans upon confirmation. We also reserve the right to pursue legal action against such accounts.
2. Recovery of Illegal Items
We will fully recover items obtained through illegitimate means, such as "unauthorized top-ups" and "gifts with malicious chargebacks" (including derivative items like dye products).
If the illegal items have already been consumed, the system will directly deduct an equivalent value in Echo Beads. Note: After deduction, your Echo Bead balance may become negative! Until the balance is restored to a positive number, certain game functions and gameplay modes will be restricted.
Accounts that repeatedly violate rules, intentionally engage in black-market activities, or involve large sums of money will face long-term or even permanent bans.
3. Security Upgrade for the Gift System
To prevent such black-market trades, we will soon implement a security upgrade to the Gift System, adding a cooldown period for sending gifts after adding a friend. Please stay tuned to future announcements for specific details.
4. Reject Third-Party Trading and Beware of Scams
WWM team has never authorized any third-party platform for top-ups or discounted sales. Please ensure you top up only through official channels. The official team assumes no responsibility for property loss, account theft, or other issues arising from unofficial transactions, and cannot provide compensation or assistance.
We urge all players: Do not be tempted by small gains or blindly trust any third-party top-up or low-price gift services. Otherwise, you may become an accomplice to black-market activities and end up losing both your money and your account!
Account Suspension Notice
Dear Wanderers,
We have been closely monitoring unauthorized third-party tools and abnormal in-game behavior.
Violations include cheating, speed hacks, macros, and other actions that disrupt fair play. Penalties are applied case by case and may include leaderboard removal, gameplay restrictions, or temporary/permanent bans.
We have identified an issue where accounts created using unauthorized third-party software may fail to complete character creation. In such cases, the account is flagged and suspended before the character is successfully created, and the username is automatically reset to "江**".
Please continue to report any misconduct via the in-game system. Thank you for helping maintain a fair Jianghu.
Below is a list of accounts suspended for violations between May 11 and May 18:
