When and where did the Knight Online ban wave happen?

The wave started during the day on September 23, 2026, right in front of players on the Zero server. Players recorded it and posted clips the same day, showing the "… is currently blocked for using illegal software." notice scrolling for dozens of characters in a row. That's the game's built-in server message when an account is blocked for prohibited software.

Zero is a USKO server that opened in December 2022. Mass bans were also seen on Agartha, Destan, Pandora and Felis the same day; the breakdown by server is below.

Banned players by server: who got banned where?

The bans weren't limited to Zero. Player recordings of the ban notices show 691 characters on 5 USKO servers, with the most on Zero. The table shows each server's GB price, how many were banned, notable names and the full list.

Banned USKO clans: how many players did each team lose?

Characters whose names start with the same prefix usually belong to the same clan or team. 57 characters from 15 teams stand out in the ban lists; the biggest losses were 6 players each for ILove and Wavex. Team names come from the shared name prefix and may not match the in-game clan name exactly; the counts aren't official.

Who got banned and why?

According to players, the list was full of mage teams, the people who party with them and some assassins; most were well-known PK characters with gear worth millions. The community talked about more than 500 banned players; the per-server count of characters readable in the recordings is in the table above, but no official number has been released.

The tools the banned players allegedly used are TBL editors, koxp, speedhacks and similar programs. Players say TBL editors change the game's data files to cut skill cooldowns, ignore blind, or attack without the arm-raise animation ("half hand"), while programs like koxp fire skills and potions for the player.

What do NTTGame's rules say?

Under NTTGame's rules of conduct, modifying game files, using any third-party program, or making and distributing such programs means permanent account closure. The rules also say that when a closed account is reviewed, accounts sharing its IP address, phone number or computer ID can be punished too, so a second account on the same PC is at risk as well.

There's no getting your items back either: NTTGame's support page says that if an account is blocked for breaking the rules, no refund is given for any NPoints or Power Up Store items, used or unused.

How does the ban wave affect the game?

Players say the server emptied out at once and a lot of mage gear left the game. GB has already moved: one seller's price for 10M Noah went from 44.80 TL to 53.00 TL on Zero and from 34.50 TL to 41.00 TL on Agartha between September 13 and 25. How much of that is down to the bans isn't known; higher mage item prices are still only player speculation. We explain what moves prices in the GB price guide.

One content creator said they reported the source of these tools to NTTGame on August 23 and that the bans came exactly a month later. Players also expect harsher waves to follow.

What should you do if your account was banned?

  • If you get "Your account is currently blocked" when logging in, your account has been closed.
  • Open a ticket on NTTGame's support site to learn the reason and length; swearing or insults in tickets are punishable too.
  • Bans for third-party programs are permanent, and the rules list no amnesty or way to reopen them.

FAQ

When was the Knight Online ban wave?
During the day on September 23, 2026, on USKO's Zero server and also on Destan, Pandora, Agartha and Felis. The banned characters' names were announced in game at the bottom of the screen.
Did everyone using TBL get banned?
Nobody knows. The bans landed all at once, but NTTGame hasn't published a list or a number, and players expect more waves. Who got banned on each server is in the table above.
Can my other accounts on the same PC get banned?
Yes, they can. Under the rules, accounts sharing an IP address, phone number or computer ID with a closed account can be punished too.
Do banned accounts get their cash and items back?
No. Accounts blocked for breaking the rules get no refund for NPoints or Power Up Store items.
I gave my character to a friend and they got it banned. Can the ban be lifted?
Most likely not. Under the rules, a player who knowingly shares their account gives up all support privileges; even if your friend caused the ban, the account is your responsibility. If the ban was for third-party software, it's permanent anyway. You can still open a support ticket and explain; the steps are in the banned account guide.
A friend used my account without permission and got it banned. What do I do?
If you didn't give them your password, it counts as a stolen account: open a ticket in the Stolen Account category on NTTGame's support site and change your password and OTP right away.
