We have seen a lot of discussion around account sharing, so we want to be transparent about one of the tools we will use to tackle it:
playstyle profiling.
Every player naturally develops their own unique rhythm and habits in-game. We can measure things like:
- Actions per minute – how quickly you interact with the world
- Attack and spell cadence – the timing between attacks or casts
- Spell mix – the combination of abilities you prefer
- Path entropy – how you move through the map
- Reaction times – how quickly you respond to danger
Over time, the system builds a profile of your typical playstyle. If there is a sudden and significant change such as a completely different movement pattern, skill usage, or reaction speed, it is a strong signal that someone else may be on the account.
The same approach also works against bots. Bots behave very differently to human players, and the system will be able to flag those patterns quickly.
Our aim is not to interfere with normal play. It is to protect fair competition and keep the game free from both unauthorised account sharing and automation.
This is just one of several methods, and I’m sharing this as it is one of the harder ones to fool.
