- Otherwise inappropriate.
If we believe that the account was created to mislead, confuse or annoy other players with the spelling of the name, the administrator will limit the account/game access and request for the player to delete the game character.

| Multiple Failed Login Attempts |
| CabalSEA’s game login credential is built in such a way that when a player tries to login after the first attempt, there is an authentication code required to be keyed-in. The player will only be able to enter the game upon successful authentication.
Player will have 5 tries to key-in the correct authentication code. Upon the failure of the 5th attempt, the screen will automatically return to the login page.
The cycle will repeat for 6 times meaning that there will be 30 chances to key in the correct authentication code. If player is still unable to login, the game account will be automatically suspended by the system.
An Identity Verification is required in order to re-activate the game account. Upon a successful Identity Verification, the game account will be released in 3 working days.
Accounts which are not verified will remain permanently suspended for suspicion of usage of illegal tools.
