    Ahoy pirates,

    Attention, Seafight Players Community!

    We have an important announcement to make regarding the issue of unauthorized third-party programs, commonly known as bots, being used within our game. We take fair play and the integrity of Seafight very seriously, and after a thorough investigation, we have taken decisive action against those who have violated our rules.

    To ensure a level playing field and maintain the fairness of the game, we have implemented strict penalties for all users found guilty of utilizing these prohibited programs. Effective immediately, all offending players will experience the following consequences:

    • A reduction of 30% in experience points, elp, and battle points earned during gameplay.
    • A two-week debuff, limiting certain in-game advantages during that period.


    Additionally, as a visible reminder of their actions, all punished players will be marked with a unique identifier known as the FIRST scar debuff (after two-week). This scar will be displayed prominently on their accounts for one month, serving as a reminder of the consequences of unfair play. If player will be caught AGAIN - Scar will be more powerfull.


    1st Scar Debuff - Duration: 1 month

    • Cannon Damage: Reduced by 2%
    • PvP Damage Modifier: Reduced by 2%
    • Cannon Reload Time: Increased by 10%
    • Currency Loot: Reduced by 10%

    2nd Scar Debuff - Duration: 3 months

    • Cannon Damage: Reduced by 5%
    • PvP Damage Modifier: Reduced by 5%
    • Cannon Reload Time: Increased by 20%
    • Currency Loot: Reduced by 20%
    3rd Scar Debuff - Duration: 6 months

    • Cannon Damage: Reduced by 5%
    • PvP Damage Modifier: Reduced by 5%
    • Cannon Reload Time: Increased by 20%
    • Currency Loot: Reduced by 30%

    We want to express our gratitude to all the loyal and fair players who have upheld the spirit of fair competition within Seafight. As a token of appreciation, we are offering exclusive packages on the black market, which can be purchased using in-game currency.

    Remember, the Seafight community thrives on the values of sportsmanship and integrity. Let us continue to sail these virtual seas with honor and respect for one another. Fair play is not just a rule; it's a commitment we make to ensure an enjoyable and fair environment for all.

    Thank you for your understanding, support, and dedication to Seafight. Together, we will keep the waves of fair play rolling!


    May the winds guide you to victory!

    We believe that by implementing more significant long-term penalties, we can deter unfair gameplay practices and foster a community built on integrity and sportsmanship.

    We appreciate the feedback provided by our players, as it plays a vital role in shaping the future of Seafight.

    Together, let us continue to sail the high seas with honor, respect, and a shared dedication to fair play.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    We have been monitoring your feedback regarding the Scar debuffs.

    Firstly, to clarify, players will still receive the Gotcha Debuff every time they are caught using a third-party program, that has not changed.

    Once the Gotcha debuff expires, then the same players will receive the Scar Debuff, giving them a slight reduction in different attributes and decreased loot gain.

    With the new update we are announcing today, the Scar debuffs will also disable different aspects of the game.

    Scar 1+ will disable the Aura of Protection item, Scar 2+ will disable the League of Captains, and Scar 3 will disable the Bonus Maps and Raid Map too.
