Sony Online Entertainment has suspended 700 accounts in its long-running MMO EverQuest since last week.

This follows their recent announcement that the firm would begin to rid the game of cheating players.

“Remember that these suspensions are merely the first wave, and further action is on the horizon,” wrote community manager Piestro on the official forums. “We will not rest, but will instead continue to gather data and take action as necessary on behalf of the entire player base. Don’t cheat – it’s not worth it.”

Earlier in the week SOE promised it has invested in a behind-the-scenes effort to find cheating users.

EverQuest was originally released in 1999. Its 18th expansion, EverQuest: Veil of Alaris, was released in November 2011.
