    New bot detection system

    Ahoy Pirates,

    For over a month our new bot detection system has been tracking each and every player on the Seafight seas and, for the next two weeks starting from yesterday, those players who have been caught using an external program to help them gain an advantage in the game will be given a two week ban as a warning.

    In the future there will no longer be any warning shots fired! Whether you have previously been warned or not, from now on any player found using an exploit or an automated program to gain an advantage in the game will be permanently banned!

    This rule will apply to all players, no matter if it’s the first time you have used such a program and regardless of how many years you have had your game account for or how much money you have invested in the game.

    Please note that we are fully aware that we have not caught every single cheater currently in the game. Our bot detection system is becoming more sophisticated and soon we will catch all exploiting players. As written above, if we catch you from now on there will be NO warning, simply a permanent ban.

    Following this link to the discussion thread.

    Ahoy Pirates,



    Our bot detection system has just banned a number of players who have used an external program to help them gain an advantage in the game. These players have been banned permanently from the game. Please be aware that the ban-time indicated on the server selection is still currently incorrectly displayed but is still planned for one of the next regular syncs. The team are now working on writing the scripts for those players who exploited the bonus maps and the market cove items.


    Your Seafight team
