Monster Hunter 3 cheaters receive a ban sentence

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Below is a message that a Monster Hunter 3 player received for cheating…

“Because you used modified data to connect online, you’re now banned. The ban will be lifted at 22:49 on 12/12/9999. In the future, if you violate the terms of service, it is possible that you will be banned for good.”

Cheating/hacking is something that has plagued a number of Wii titles, but it looks as though Capcom is looking to take care of any potential issue right away. Although, the year 9999 seems to be quite far away…
