by

Where Winds Meet initially released in China last December and became available worldwide on November 14, 2025. Since its launch, the game has attracted hundreds of thousands of players on PC and PlayStation, and that number is expected to grow with the upcoming mobile release. While it appears to be a typical free-to-play multiplayer RPG, Where Winds Meet stands out by incorporating an AI chatbot system for its non-player characters. The developers are also dedicated to maintaining a fair gaming environment and are actively combating cheating.

Where Winds Meet banned 5,000 players

Since the release of Where Winds Meet, the development team has been actively monitoring for cheating and unfair play. Players who violate our rules may face consequences, including removal from leaderboards, restrictions in game modes like Arena, and temporary or permanent account bans.

Using cheats, speed hacks, macros, or any other software that gives players an unfair advantage isn’t allowed. Penalties will vary depending on the offense. The game developers are committed to keeping the game fair and safe for all players, and they ask that you report anyone you suspect of cheating through the in-game reporting tools.

The team behind Where Winds Meet announced that approximately 5,000 accounts were banned for cheating between November 15th and December 5th, 2025. They also published a list identifying some of the players who were penalized.

Where Winds Meet is a game filled with interesting and unusual things. Players have discovered all sorts of fun activities, like playfully throwing spoiled food at prisoners! As with many games of this type, certain items can be incredibly expensive – one ship, for example, recently sold for $70,000. Naturally, some players are trying to cheat, but the game developers are actively working to address the issue.
