5. 1-1. MAU and Community
• Conducted the "Keeping Nine Chronicles Safe" campaign to enhance the integrity of the ecosystem. Collaborated with the CST to
detect and block bots for a period of one month
• Created a smooth gaming environment by continuously blocking bots that cause network overload and intercepting benefits from
genuine players.
MAU Community
Intensive focus was put on blocking the continuous influx of bots into Nine Chronicles
with the help of 9C Community and CST team to strengthen the sustainability of the
Nine Chronicles ecosystem. Approximately 20K unhealthy accounts were detected
and banned over one month.
Instances of multi-account usage or abnormal repetitive behaviors were classified
as targets. Additionally, efforts are made to improve the overall BOT identification
algorithms, including advancing the detection cycles to swiftly block continuously
reoccurring BOTs.
During the intensive blocking campaign, a significant decrease in the influx was
observed. This, along with a reduction in network congestion, resulted in a pleasant
gaming environment.

• Initially, there have been temporary index declines due to the extensive BOT blocking efforts. However, a shift towards an
upward trend in metrics centered around Organic Players was observed after Phase 3, as the BOTs were eliminated.

temporary decrease in difficulty in certain stages, there was an activation of equipment crafting and recipe unlocking, resulting in

consumption through events and the impact of preparation for the World 7 update.
