Relic Online Exploitation and Harassment Policy
Posted in Relic, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes by ÜberJumper on January 12th, 2007
Allie’s posted up Relic’s Online Exploitation and Harassment Policy… or ROEAHP (sounds like an Anti-tank round. Rocket Operated Explosive Armament - High Powered).
Relic Entertainment is now taking appropriate action against players involved in activities that may create an uneven playing field for others or have significant negative impact on the enjoyment of Company of Heroes for all players. This may involve (but is not limited to) activities such as “drop-hacking”, in-game aggravation, or verbal harassment…

Company of Heroes cheaters, beware!

Buggo has confirmed that she is now banning accounts from Relic Online for cheating. From the sounds of it, this includes people exploiting the drop bug/exploit/hack.
Accounts have been banned already, with more to come. I’m personally doing it.
If you cheat, that’s your fault.

Relic Wins Three Six Of IGNs Best Of 2006 Awards
Posted in Relic, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes by Moe on January 3rd, 2007
IGN has published their Best of 2006 awards, and Relic managed to snag three (EDIT: Make that SIX of them- UberJumper): Best Expansion Pack, Best Strategy Game, and finally Best Developer (add PC Game of the Year, Best Use of Sound and Best Online Game . It was also Runner up in as Most Innovative Design and Best Graphics Technology. - UberJumper) .
Relic Studios has been making excellent games for years and it’s about time they were given the credit they so richly deserve. This studio has consistently developed top of the line products from the time they released Homeworld to this year’s superb Company of Heroes that seems to keep getting better with time. Company of Heroes was only one of the reasons that Relic earned the award this year. Not only did they develop that amazingly thorough look at real-time strategy set in World War II, but also continued their excellent Dawn of War series set in the bleak future universe of Warhammer 40,000. Dark Crusade not only expanded the universe but managed to change the way the game worked with a new type of campaign and the Necron faction which functions quite a bit differently than the other six. This year just cements the fact that Relic has become one of the premiere developers of real-time strategy games. We can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
You can discuss this here. Thanks to Nazuel for pointing this out.
