Cheating Ban

A Safer Game for Everyone

Ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone in our community is our top priority. That’s why we’re moving forward with a zero-tolerance policy toward unauthorized modifications or tools that give players an unfair advantage. Good news—using Reshade is still perfectly fine!

For parents and guardians, this is especially important for protecting our younger players, who are more vulnerable to those trying to sell or distribute game modifications. These activities not only violate our terms of service, but also pose serious risks to players and their accounts, which we take very seriously.

What’s Happening Next?

Starting within the next few weeks, we will begin enforcing bans on accounts using unauthorized tools or modifications. This zero-tolerance approach will help create a more secure and enjoyable experience for everyone in the game. If you are affected by this ban, you will be notified by email.

We’re so grateful for the passion and dedication of our community as we work together to make SSO better. Thank you for your understanding as we take this important step toward ensuring fairness, safety, and fun for everyone!

FAQ

Will this affect those who have acquired unreleased items, pets, and/or horses?

Yes, using third-party cheat engines to modify our files in any shape or form is against our terms and conditions and can potentially put your device and personal information at risk. Therefore, proof that an account has used unauthorized third-party tools to obtain unreleased items will result in a ban. This also applies to horses acquired after their retirement.

There is a big community of people who offer services to give you unreleased items, horses, and pets. How will this affect those people who purchase it or are selling it?

Yes, this applies to accounts that use these services, as they use unauthorized external tools to do so. 

What if you used cheats prior to the zero tolerance, will your account be banned? 

Yes, if there is evidence of doing so, the account will be banned. 

Are you IP banning affected accounts?

We realize that players are able to make new accounts and new IP’s. Rather than IP ban, we will continue to ban offending accounts.

Why are these tools harmful?

• Account Security: Some tools require sharing sensitive account information, putting players at risk of account theft or loss.

• Safety Concerns: Downloading unauthorized programs can lead to unsafe software that compromises your security.

• Game Stability: These modifications can break the game—not just for the cheater but for everyone they interact with—ruining the experience for all players.
