Exploitation

You will not exploit any bug in Age of Conan and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (the definition of bugs like this is: a bug that grants the user unnatural or unintended benefits in game), either directly or through public posting, to any other user of Age of Conan. You will promptly report any such exploit via exploits@ageofconan.com address and never use it again.

An exploit in the game is a bug or design error that makes it possible for characters to fight monsters, solve quests, earn money or gain an unfair advantage in pvp situations that normally should be out of that character's reach. Funcom is actively working to remove exploits from the game.

An exploit is regarded as a bug that we have to fix. We expect players to inform us about exploits, not tell other players about their discovery and to not use the exploit after they have found it. Exploits could lead to suspension of your account or banning. This has happened to some accounts already.

The investigating of exploits in Age of Conan is based on two sources of information: Reports from players and reading through logs. All reports received through mail and petition is used to get exploits out of the game.

In addition, we are able to find detailed information about characters. This is used to find characters that have disproportionate amounts of credits or are augmenting in level faster than we would expect.

It is important not to spread information about exploits after they have been discovered, as the team needs time to solve the problem. It is dangerous to tell you that we are working on a fix, because this information could lead to more people learning about the exploit and using it. While the team is working on it, please don't tell anybody about the exploit.
