Jailing Stats

Thought I would share this-

As of the 5th November 2016 there are 2,368 people in jail on Era.

Here is a breakdown by reason - due to rounding the %'s won't add up to 100~ all the time;
GLITCH ABUSE: Volume-18 (0%) (Identified: 22%, Not Identified: 77%)
HACKING: Volume-1605 (67%) (Identified: 21%, Not Identified: 78%)
HARASSMENT: Volume-6 (0%) (Identified: 33%, Not Identified: 66%)
OTHER: Volume-27 (1%) (Identified: 25%, Not Identified: 74%)
RACISM: Volume-151 (6%) (Identified: 29%, Not Identified: 70%)
SEXUAL HARASSMENT: Volume-242 (10%) (Identified: 13%, Not Identified: 86%)
SPAMMING: Volume-3 (0%) (Identified: 66%, Not Identified: 33%)
USD: Volume-191 (8%) (Identified: 34%, Not Identified: 65%)
VULGARITY: Volume-125 (5%) (Identified: 31%, Not Identified: 68%)

Whats alarming is that the non identified players are the ones causing the issues. What do we plan on doing about this? We'll extend the tutorial and make it so they can't skip it. They won't be able to access Era main map unless they've been online for x3 or more hours.

As you can see Hacking is the main jail type with 1,605 people in jail. Of that, 21% are identified hackers (21% * 1,605 = roughly 337 players). The 78% which aren't identified equate to roughly 1250 players.

This is why we have the IP system in place... even though they use a VPN it's still annoying for them.

(These stats are a rolling 30 day log, so this is the stats of the last 30 days)

Thats a nice breakdown. I am surprised that vulgarity wasn't a higher percentage. I guess gagging helps get the job done.

i am one of these people, ah isn't it fun having a 15 hour jail for racism o=

2368 is a huge number, but I guess that's including all the dummy accounts.
Nice statistics, though.

i see a pattern, do you see it too? yes hacking is the biggest but the others are made by players that don't say anything on their main but say it in unidentified accounts. how can this be solve? aside from ip system

Nice idea :)
There will be less hackers

Would be a problem for non english speakers.
Especially for us Arabs, Arabic translation is so bad
I barely knew how to identify my acc. Funny thing is I accidentally identified my acc lol
I wouldn't wait 3 hours especially if I'm stuck somewhere not knowing what to do
I'd have deleted era if that existed when I first started

So if they can't access the main map then where the hell would they be lmao

How about identifying first before being able to start/enter the game and upon entering the game roll out the all the rules.

We can't make people identify. the Tutorial will be extended to allow players to learn about Era

Great solution !

That sounds really cool, you could cover using trade tables, digging for shells, mining, mushroom/trash picking, car missions, pizza making, getting married/divorce maybe even explain how to join events and stuff.

Yeah - but there should also be an option for already identified players to skip the tutorial.
So that when you get a new phone or when you re-install the application, you don't have to do the tutorial again.

If I was forced to complete a long tutorial and then wait hours just to be able to play I would have just deleted the game right away. Some people are more hands on and like to learn things by themselves (I personally think that's part of the fun in playing a new game) I think tutorials should be brief and show you only the basics, then maybe an in-depth guide that players could read if they wish. Graal targets a younger audience and some kids would want to get right into playing the game, not sit through a long tutorial on how to do so

Totally Agree. It would be a free roam tutorial on a map roughly 25 levels

So new players will have to be online in the tutorial for 3 hours before they can access the map??

What kind of micromanaging is that? No one is going to want to play.


You do realize that in Cheatengine as a hacker you can search the string text 'tutorial' and if you change its value to 0 and log into Graal you can skip it.

3 hours is just plain too long for one to even turn online for 3h or more.

Yeah it's a good idea and this is a hard topic. The only problem is of course the hackers would just make an e-mail which takes less than a minute and identify. So making a long tutorial would end up being a waste of time.

Maybe when you identify in Era you would also need to enter a phone number and have it send a verification to the phone rather than just an e-mail verification. I noticed making multiple e-mail's they would also ask for phone number verification before creating it. In this case it would be much harder for a hacker to identify multiple accounts if you can only verify 1 account per phone number.

From a hacker's perspective, what's stopping me from getting a new number using a free text me app?

Cheat engine is the reason why there are 1300 hackers in jail. I've tried to talk to snk about it.

Yeah I forgot about those phone number calling apps. A knowledgeable person can do so much with cheat engine =x

I would just hate to see time wasted creating a long tutorial if it can easily be avoided by a hacker anyway.

How about not make it a huge tutorial but a starter mission? Though not for 3 hours, might aswell add in the rules of the games and consequences

You've not shown me anything helpful other than what you can hack. if you tell me the variables you're searching I'll patch it

I've made multiple tutorials on what I'm doing. You never replied!

I'll resend.

I think the tutorial could be improved. Instead of walking from point a to point b taking tons of your time maybe get the basics down for peole to try but then things like marriage/events/trading/sparring/jobs could just be shown and explained? also maybe there could be a quiz on the rules so people understand them? idk

If you fail the quiz the punishment will be to sit through the tutorial again!

The top #1 in the leaderboard is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 flips...Even this game has hacker problems xD

- - - Updated - - -

This number is nine quintillion, two hundred twenty three quadrillion, three hundred seventy two trillion, thirty six billion, eight hundred fifty four million, seven hundred seventy five thousand, eight hundred and seven.

- - - Updated - - -

If I calculated correctly, if he did a successful flip every second, it would have taken 4,874,516,138 years to accomplish this. (without a hack) xD

Well I can see that a ton of noob accounts have been jailed haha

Yeah, and mostly likely its only a small group of people getting jailed over and over again on alternate unidentified accounts using different IPs. I hope SNK can figure out a way to prevent this from happening.

3 Hours is far too long.
I would make the range about 30 minutes to 1 Hour.

No one wants to have to purchase a game and wait an hour.

Goodluck with the game reviews and the 1 star.

The time it takes someone to complete the tutorial doesn't matter, as long as the player can learn from it. It's been many times when I had tried to introduce this game to my friends, and they always get confused. And most of the confusion is caused because of the tutorial.

The tutorial is not very helpful since it doesn't cover the basics. The last time I did the tutorial, it taught you to move and shoot, which were some common things, but it didn't taught you about jobs, sparring, guns, etc.

The problem of the current tutorial we have, is that the one who made it tried to add a storyline into it. I prefer having a tutorial that teach about the game basics rather than a tutorial that lacks of teaching but has a cool storyline.

From a micromanagement standpoint, if someone were to get the game I would not want to be spending 3 hours of the tutorial on a game.

Should be optional, there are many other ways to stop hackers then extending a tutorial that no one really likes.

^^^

new players wouldn't know it's a tutorial as it will be a map with other players on it.
If anything, it'll be more interactive than the existing map which has zero player interaction...

That is very smart.

Yeah that is a good idea.
