Love this game, I quit back in the day w/ BDO when they first implemented xigncode, and after years many years, they finally made the smart decision and removed the stupid anti-cheat.

Thus, I got back on the moment they took it off, and played it with friends. Been putting in tons of hours, even in a Guild I like and love, however I quit again...Why?

They re-implemented Xigncode again. Why again? I have absolutely no idea but only with myself being left with the feeling of complete idiocy on their part. I uninstalled the game as soon as I could and guess what? Xigncode is STILL in my PC after uninstalling the game just like how it was back a few years ago when they game had it.

Of course I had to go in, search for, and manually uninstall/delete this "anti-cheat" once more, for why in the world would it continue to linger on even after the game that it was implemented for is no longer in my pc anymore?

It scans your ENTIRE PC, going through all of your folders, data, info (remember that an Anti-cheat should NOT be doing this in the first place) and sends them to who knows where, and considering that this anti-cheat is made by a Chinese company with connections to the CCP, well, let's just say I'm not stupid, and I couldn't hit the uninstall fast enough.

Sad really, since I love BDO (my hours prove it!) but not enough for me to keep xigncode running around in my PC.

Goodbye BDO, since this will be my last run with the game until they either remove xigncode once again, or more than likely, transitioning to another game that will not be using such an invasive "anti-cheat."

I spent 500hrs trying to find my way in this game. And I did, it was trading with my horses and collecting contribution points to create the best trade routes possible. But once they took trading out the game I lost a purpose in playing this game and I feel like my time was wasted.

I was so hyped to jump back into BDO after years away. I quit back in the day when they slapped Xigncode into the game—it was a dealbreaker for me. But when they finally ditched that garbage anti-cheat? I was back on board in a heartbeat.

Got hooked again, grinding hours, chilling with friends, even joined a guild I actually vibed with. Everything was golden... until they pulled a why-are-you-like-this move and re-added Xigncode. Seriously, why? No clue what they were thinking, but I was out.

Uninstalled the game immediately, but guess what? Xigncode decided to hang out on my PC even after BDO was gone. Just like before. So, I had to dig through my system, hunt it down, and manually delete it. Why does this thing even stick around after uninstalling the game? It's invasive as hell, scanning your entire PC and snooping through your files. And it’s tied to a Chinese company with CCP connections? Yeah, no thanks.

my hours prove how I loved the game — but there’s no way I’m keeping Xigncode lurking on my system. It sucks because the game is great, but I value my privacy more than my grind. Until they wise up and drop Xigncode again (if ever), I’m moving on.

Goodbye, BDO. It’s been real, but I’m not signing up for another round of this nonsense.
