AoMAoM & AoT Stats Error

The installation of Internet Explorer 7 has resulted in a large number of Age of Mythology and Titans players seeing the Error connecting to ESO stats server message when they logged in. Until now, the only fix for this has been uninstalling IE7. Today we have released an updated DLL file that will resolve this error. See this forum post for more information: AOM and AOT Stats Error

Age of Empires III and WarChiefs players have not experienced this problem so do not need this file.

itburnsusESO Bannings

With the end of the ladder season coming up, we will be paying special attention to point traders over the next couple of weeks. Quite a number of players were banned in the last ladder season for this form of cheating and we will continue to have a zero tolerance policy toward point traders.

We will also be doing a round of bannings for players who attempt to extort ESO account passwords from other players, or otherwise attempt to gain control of another player's account, as well as anyone who uses hacks or cheats.
