Back in April, the Darkfall Online team banned 213 players for using third-party programs to cheat. Well, according to a post by Tasos, the banhammer is continuing to fall as the team issues permanent bans for use of third-party programs. "Use of these programs has dropped significantly and to the point where there are very few players resorting to their use," Tasos said.

Yesterday, a 24-hour ban was issued to 185 players for using auto-loot scripts. Temporary bans have also been issued for "exploiting the terrain and structures in the world." Tasos warns these temporary bans can lead to permanent bans for repeat offenders.

In the midst of the bannings, a small patch was implemented to fix some bugs. You can read the notes after the jump.
