Steam imposes account restrictions and security locks for AION 2

Verified · 7/7 supported1 cited · 1 min read

Steam announced account restrictions for AION 2 on 20 Oct (PDT) / 21 Oct (CEST) . The restrictions target accounts involved in botting, gold farming, use of macros, bots, unauthorized programs, organized play patterns, and real‑money trading . Economy abuse, defined as abnormal trading patterns that disrupt the game economy, is also a reason for the action . Restrictions are applied only after a thorough review in line with the Operation Policy, and normal play is not affected . A small number of accounts were temporarily locked as a security precaution because access was detected from a risky device or connection, and these locks are not penalties .

Why it matters. The temporary security locks protect accounts that may have been compromised, helping to safeguard player data . The enforcement actions aim to keep the game fair and the in‑game economy stable for all players .
