Cheat at Monster Hunter 3, get banned for 7,000 years photo

If you love Monster Hunter games and think cheating is brilliant, Capcom's here to make your life difficult. Unless you're immortal, that is. According to the above image, anybody caught cheating at Monster Hunter 3 will face a 7,000 year ban, able to play again in the last month of 9999.

Hilariously, however, that's just strike one of the ban. In 7,000 years, Capcom intends to make good on its promise to let you play again, promising a lifetime ban on the second strike, not the first. The best part about this is that Capcom warns players as if a lifetime ban is somehow worse than a 7,000 year ban. I mean, it technically is, but you'd have to be Thor himself for it to have any effect.

"Because you used modified data to connect online, you're now banned. The ban will be lifted at 22:49 on 12/12/9999," explains the message to cheaters. "In the future, if you violate the terms of service, it is possible that you will be banned for good."

Don't say you haven't been warned.

That's pretty funny, but sheesh, the ban will outlive the servers themselves.

Pretty unique way to basically give you a lifetime ban in the first place.

The WII is just that AWESOME!

In 7000 years it is still the #1 seller with games such as "Alpha Centauri Spaceport Sports Resort", "Morbo's Fitness X", and "Nintendo Vs. Capcom".

SUCK IT SONY and MS!

5607 years from now, when super scientists have managed to gaze into the past and revive everyone who ever existed, from all generations at peek health, and have an infinite number of planets in the universe for them to live on, you will still be banned.

Won't this just encourage some demented genius superhacker to modify the server's time so that their ban is expired?

That pretty hardcore ban, but at least it's not lifetime.

Good on them. There needs to be more of the "one strike and you're out" approach to cheaters in online games. Even if this is technically two strikes.

They probably take your first born as well if you get the lifetime ban.

Monster Hunter is a pretty hardcore game... I guess CAPCOM don't want to seem a soft touch about it!
