Monster Hunter 3 Cheater Banned Until 9999

Capcom takes cheating very, very seriously. How seriously, you ask? Serious enough to ban an offender in Monster Hunter 3 for the next eight millennia.

The lesson here, clearly, is "don't piss Capcom off," because their moderators will strike you with a vengeance. A screencap posted on Livedoor.jp [http://blog.livedoor.jp/jin115/archives/51560767.html] reveals the following message sent to a player accused of cheating in the Wii's Monster Hunter 3:

[blockquote]Dear Customer

You are presently banned for using modded data to connect online. The ban will be lifted at 22:49 on 12/12/9999. The next time you violate the terms of use, you will never again be able to connect.[/blockquote]

"You will never again be able to connect," Capcom? A tad unnecessary, don't you think? Well, let's look on the bright side - one day in the far future, the distant descendants of this cheater will once again be able to play Monster Hunter 3. Unless they've inherited their ancestor's tendencies to be a cheating douchebag, that is.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. oh, that made my day.

 

[SachielOne]

That has to be the best use of the banhammer I have ever seen.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

*gasps*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ohhh fuck man that's just awesome!

Can you say

 

[Random Argument Man]

Wow... This is...AWESOME!!

 

[Smudge91]

hahaha gutted for that user hehe. A tad bit extreme but hillarious non the less.

 

[hansari]

Do they really have to say "modded data"...some mods are good! Why not just be blunt and say "you tool, you cheated"?

 

[Torque669]

Thats genius. How exactly did he get it. Did he give himself Cloud's Final Weapon online or something? What was so bad they had to ban him that long? Very funny though.

 

[mikecoulter]

Pow!

The power of the hammer.

 

[Legion]

I wish every game company would do that if they catch a proven cheater...

 

[CloudKiller]

At least he's not been perma-banned

 

[Magnatek]

This banhammer moment was brought to you by the Nintendo Wii. However, upon reading the text of the ban statement, it looks like he can still play the game. He just can't use modded data.

EDIT: Oh, wait. It says "for", not "from".

EDIT: I should have said Banmjollnir when I had the chance.

I like the fact it says "The next time you violate the terms of use, you will never again be able to connect."

That made me laugh.

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

I understand the 7990 year ban, but the 4 months and one minute is just salt in the wounds. So funny.

 

[GamerLuck]

Oh wow.... What are they fueking thier bann hammer with? Plutonium?

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

That is some hardcore banning. Fuck a banhammer, that'a baNuke.

And I shouldn't even be surprised. You know the director of the development team and a few colleagues have already struck up over 40 hours on this thing? Considering they made the game, that's a lot.

Monster Hunter: Serious business (in Japan).

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Capcoms banhammer is 8 sizes to large.

 

[Wheeeee]

Note to self: Read the terms of use and agreement from now on!

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

now that's swiftly delivered game justice.
1 down, all the others to go.
