What can get you banned in NTE? Ban rules and penalties explained

NTE enforces a very strict ban policy. The following actions will be penalized:

**Permanent Ban**:

- Using hacks, speed hacks, or cheat tools

- Exploiting bugs to duplicate resources (e.g., the gift system duplication exploit)

- Account trading/sharing

**Long-term Ban**:

- Distributing bug exploit tutorials (especially tied to creator incentive programs)

- Using mods to modify game files (documented case of 36,000-day ban)

- Using macros/scripts for automation

**Notable Incidents**:

- Gift system duplication bug at launch: 600+ accounts permanently banned

- A content creator who posted an exploit tutorial linked to the creator incentive program was banned for 100 years via the event system

- An overseas player received a 36,000-day ban for using mods

**Mod Risk Warning**:

- All mods are officially prohibited

- Even cosmetic mods carry ban risk

- Some players using .pak mods weren't immediately caught — this doesn't mean it's safe

- Recommendation: Do not use any mods; wait for official customization features

**How to Stay Safe**:

- Don't use third-party tools

- Report bugs to official support instead of exploiting them

- Don't share or sell your account

- Don't distribute exploit methods
