Credit System

A per-server economy you control

Each server has its own isolated credit balance per player. Admins give, take, and audit credits directly from Discord. Players check their own balance and history any time.

  • ✓ Per-server isolated balances — never bleeds between servers
  • ✓ Full transaction history visible to players and admins
  • ✓ /credits give · take · check · history
  • ✓ All purchases tracked with full transaction history
Detection Systems

Automatic alerts for rule-breaking behaviour

Seven independent detection engines run 24/7. When something suspicious happens, you get an immediate Discord alert with full player details — no manual log-diving needed.

  • ✓ Alt account detection — flags ban evaders automatically
  • ✓ Spoof detection — catches players using mismatched in-game names
  • ✓ Admin command detection — catches unauthorised cheat usage
  • ✓ Explorer note anomaly detection (stat boost exploit)
  • ✓ Illegal name detection — partial match, case insensitive
  • ✓ Chat keyword filter — monitor in-game chat in real time
  • ✓ Dupe detection — catches players online on multiple servers at once

👥 Alt Detection

Identifies alternate accounts of banned players using IP matching and session correlation.

🎭 Spoof Detection

Detects when a player's in-game name doesn't match their account — a common tactic to evade bans or impersonate others.

🛡️ Admin Detection

Alerts when any non-whitelisted player uses admin commands in-game.

💬 Chat Filter

Monitor all in-game chat for banned keywords. Alerts include full message and player context.

🔴 Dupe Detection

Detects players online on multiple servers at the same time — confirmed across two checks 2.5 minutes apart to eliminate false positives.
