Recently GOA had banned tonycheese and Whoopsy (two great Pangya players)

Hello everyone,

As many of you have noticed (going by the number of threads regarding this topic), a bunch of Albatross18 players have recently migrated to GOA due to being unhappy with the situation on Albatross18.

While GOA seemed like a great new home with a decent community and good support at first, it is now apparent it was too good to be true.

Today two of my friends who “migrated” have been banned. Namely tonycheese and RookieF/Whoopsy (who has been active on GOA since season1). Both have been banned for “confirmed usage of third party tools”.

What is going on? In another topic GMs here had previously stated that players who do not cheat have nothing to fear, no matter what country they are from (at least for now).

Tonycheese had even previously posted videos of him playing and setting -35+ records, clearly showing that there are no cheats or tools involved.

Meanwhile me and another friend with similar records and stats to tonycheese and whoopsy have not been banned. We are both German, while tony and whoopsy were both playing from overseas. Could that be the reason for the bans after all? If that is not the reason, then what is? Are players who are not new to the game not allowed to play at their full potential just to avoid getting banned?

I would like to get a response from the support/gms regarding matter. If all my friends end up getting banned, then there is no reason left to keep playing the game at all.

I hope the staff will look over this and perhaps review the bans again, hopefully proving I was not mistaken about my first good impressions of this server.

Thank you.

We are confident GOA will quickly resolve the issue. They are currently the best group of GMs for the last few years.

How many Albatross18 players has “moved” to new servers?

Update: tonycheese and Whoopsy both have their account unbanned. Thanks GOA!
