No it won't.
However I would submit a support ticket and get your email changed to a legitimate one. Just fill out the proper form and answer all their questions. If the account is yours and you made it then it should be very easy to get it back.
If the account is not yours and you did not make it, then it will be clear that the account has broken our terms and conditions by being shared and/or bought/sold and could become suspended or denied service at our site. -
I know it says that you won't be revealing details of what is and isn't banned, but what will limit players on account creation in terms of breaking forum rules? Is it an infraction, a temp ban, a permanent ban, or a permanent ban + in-game ban that will mean the limitation of account creation?
Haven't read through the other pages so if it has been already answered, feel free to link me the post.
One lone infraction is likely not enough to warrant in-game action.
We very rarely take in game action for forum bans unless the person is promoting hacks, promoting **** or evading previous bans.
That being said, we will now have the ability to stop players from making new accounts, so if you (as an example) decide to get bored and start trolling our forums constantly, we'll find ways to block your accounts, your alternates and then subsequently prevent you from making new accounts.
Once you're out, you are out. We do not want you in our community if you insist on trolling, breaking the rules or doing anything against the Terms of Use.
Again, this is just using you as an example! -
So I'm assuming that means that it is somewhere up higher in terms of punishment, that will cause you to lose to ability to create new accounts.
Great to know. Hope this'll really help with the anti-hacking situation. May not be the worst right now, but I'm sure this will greatly limit the amount of hackers that will be able to play. -
some other way to bu****it the players.what is your real intention?If you really want to get rid of the hackers just restrict Turkey and Egypt ip's.everyone knows who the hackers are in this game.
There is no need to swear.
FYI, there was a great example today of someone running a proxy from America pretending to be in the States.
We've also removed today plenty of players for hacking (already) who will no longer be able to make new accounts. Those players were also from the states.
The real intention here is to continue to reduce the amount of hackers in the game. We also want to reduce the amount of spam accounts being created by those hackers. Our autoban system does a lot of work for us, but when someone is making 10 accounts a day, there isn't much point to a ban.
This puts more value on a ban, and allows us to police the game much better.
Does it give an old hacker a chance at redemption? Perhaps, but at least from now on they will have to play legit, because if they get caught they won't be back. And now you can be more confident in your own playing because you know you are up against more legitimate players right now. Regardless of their past history.
And that above example applies to someone with an account already, a new account obviously has been through the checks and is now legitimate, and if they decide to hack and get banned that user won't be coming back to the game. -

Yes, the scan knows when you're creating an account it from a mobile phone. Yes can tie it to your other devices.
Don't hack. -
Good Improvement need MORE IMPROVEMENT
Verry good news. I knoow i am not very active on forumz but i am very active in Game. In 2 years i am alredy major acc(no farming). Next step and very important step is to GIVE A VALUE to "honorable rebbon". I meen a real value-big rank player with honorable must have some important privilege.This will make a lot of player to keep their rebon when are small acc. bcz when they grow up, will have somethink to winn. For example when u reach "captain rank" to see "congratulation from now you can not be kiked from any room"...but only if u still have your honorable rebbon. this will eliminate "hight rank hakers(viphak)" tho they not risk to lose some privilege for couple kills. Hight rank hakers always are reported, but small rank nobody trouble to report(30days acc unusles to report). Saidin just ask developers if tehnicaly is posible ? please. -

That would be a really cool thing to implement, but I would imagine very hard to do so plus (not saying you will) what if they do start to hack and they cant be kicked, or you need to kick them for other reasons like being idle or typing abuse in the chat. -
well, there is much less hackers recently.
as long as you will make a patch often, there will be less and less hackers(in china they have weekly patch)
i think it will improve it a little bit:)
i hope that your next target it will be to stop the racist people of this game.
i get so many racist comments daily and it always in investigation
There is also much different between cf games.
try to be more kind and make weapons that not only depend on ZP(and worst, on cartes), i got in my clan many little kids that cannot afford buying zp. It's a free game.
It's not a shame to add gp(last one was a pistol long long ago?) and bp(more than a year now?) guns once in a while (and not to the cartes section)
good luck:) -

Targeting racism is hard, but I am guessing they're going to try to crack down on discrimination of all kinds in the future. The only thing you can do is ignore the racist people and just report them, don't let them effect you.
Bringing ZP crates is a priority because Z8Games is a business and need to make profit somewhere, seeing as they're spending all this money on stopping the hack situation, etc.
The last GP weapon they introduced was the KSG and that was in the GP crates, I do agree that GP content isn't added often, but I am sure there are GP weapons planned for the future.
BP content is probably going to happen soon too, just be patient. -

Attention Z8Gamers,
Today we are pleased to announce new measures implemented for creating new Z8Games Accounts.
Our community has spoken, and we have listened. As we had previously discussed, starting today, we will be limiting the number of Z8Games accounts that can be created by a computer to prevent abuse and prevent malicious users from entering our game.
In order to enforce these rules and keep CrossFire clean, free and enjoyable for our legitimate users we will be disabling a computer(s) ability to create accounts on Z8Games if they are found breaking our Terms of Use.
This includes, but is not limited to just hackers. As we enforce our Terms of Use for racism, negative attitude, spam, plus breaking of our Forum Rules and misbehavior on our Social Networks etc.
From now on we will be mapping data from devices that create new Z8Games accounts, this data is anonymous and never includes personal information. This is hardware data obtained at the time of account creation and is only used for investigation of legitimate machines making accounts and will never be shared for commercial or personal use.
If you do not agree with the above new measures then we would ask you to uninstall CrossFire NA and cease the use of your Z8Games account.
To help answer some basic questions here is a simple FAQ.
If I am a legitimate user how does this affect me?
It does not. You have nothing to worry about being a legitimate user of CrossFire.
I can't make an account because I failed to pass the scans. What do I do?
Legitimate computers will never fail a scan. We do not allow new accounts to be created from Proxy's, VPN's, or by using browsers or systems which circumvent or attempt to prevent the hardware scan. If we cannot properly scan the device then we will not allow the creation of an account.
What about accounts currently active in the game?
Hardware scans currently only apply to new accounts. However in the future we will be inviting all CrossFire users to register their accounts. This will then allow us to hand out bigger and better rewards to only our most legitimate players.
What is being scanned?
We will not be listing the full information on the process, this is to maintain legitimacy and to prevent abuse. It scans the anonymous hardware information of your computer. This information is used ONLY for the verification process of making a new account. This information is not shared or distributed.
We expect to see positive outcomes from this over time. While this system doesn't eliminate hackers immediately, it prevents hackers from making new accounts and coming in to the game as we go forward.
As an example, we have already stopped today plenty of hack bots making more than 3 accounts per day, and we have already seen some new accounts been banned for hacking and will have difficult times making new accounts.
We would like to invite you all to share this with your friends and family. This new system is important to remember as creating new accounts on Z8Games now comes with added importance that this may be your only account! If you get banned, you will not be able to make new accounts.
Now this is wat im talking bout! Good job guys! try and roll out the verification for existing users asap! keep up the good work, a lot more has to be done to prevent useless ppl from spoiling cf! -
hello! I am a member of this family since 2009. I do not think I'm an illegal player. And it is also notable because it is a 4-year study are my own clan. Of course, I'd like to prevent hacking or other legal events. To do so, please waiting for your help.
HeLL * s [ZaDDy
HeLL*KingDoM Family.
This is sweet.
