In the next update of MMORPG Lost Ark, Smilegate will restrict access to some in-game functionality to accounts that have not passed special verification.

This check will be spending the minimum amount of 5 US dollars spent on any purchase in the game itself. If this amount is not spent, the user will not be able to trade with other players, send them gifts by mail, or exchange crystals for Lost Ark gold. This condition has long been established on the digital platform, and now it has become the next step in the struggle of developers with thousands of bots.
