Staff's Grievances With the Essos/Valeria Group:

• Knowingly inviting alternate accounts or ban evasion accounts of known banned players
• Creating fake towns populated entirely by alts of leadership (officers) of Valeria
• Repeated general toxicity of group
• Knowingly and consistently lying to staff regarding both themselves and others in their group
• Threats and harassment towards players out of game
• Maliciously attacking server infrastructure resulting in down-time during an advantageous period for themselves in-game

Our Response:

After reviewing the disruptive and rule-violating behavior of the Valeria group's leadership we've concluded that these actions seriously breach our community's trust and standards.

In response, we are compelled to enforce our guidelines firmly and fairly. As a result, we have decided to implement a targeted ban wave against the leadership of the Valeria group. This decision reflects our commitment to maintaining a respectful, secure, and enjoyable environment for all members.

We assure our community that this action is taken with careful consideration of the impact on all members and the necessity of upholding our shared values. We continue to encourage positive and respectful interaction within our community.

To Those Still In The Towns Of Valeria:

In the wake of actions taken against the Valeria group's leadership, we urge remaining members to understand the gravity of the situation and dissociate from the disruptive behaviors that led to the ban. We emphasize the importance of contributing positively and adhering to our community standards.

Key points for remaining members:

1. Reflect On Your Own Behaviour: Understand the seriousness of the actions that led to the bans and recognize the impact such behaviors have on the community.
2. Uphold Civility: Interact respectfully with fellow players and staff, maintaining the integrity and harmony of our community.
3. Respect the Ban Process: Understand that ban decisions are between only the player and staff. Please do not petition for unbans for afflicted players; our processes are thorough and impartial. Players are to make ban appeals via our website.
4. Avoid Harmful Actions: Strictly refrain from doxing, harassment, or any behavior that threatens the safety and well-being of community members.

Your understanding and cooperation are crucial in fostering a respectful and enjoyable environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to these principles and for being a valued member of our community.
