Account banned, no idea why
 
I started playing P99 on Friday and played til late Saturday night where I camped outside Kurn's Tower on my level 9 Shaman.

Get up on Sunday to log in and it says my account has been banned. No message, no idea why it was banned.

Can a mod/GM please let me know whats the deal here?

You'll want to post your question in the following forum, which is only viewable by server staff:

Be sure to include any pertinent details such as your login name.

As mentioned, make a post in the petition section (and select the bans/suspensions tag).
As for possible reasons for the ban, the following are all bannable/suspendable offenses as far as I know:
*Real-money trading (a.k.a. RMT), or exchanging any form of currency outside of the game for platinum/items/etc in-game.
*Multi-boxing, or playing on more than one account simultaneously on the same server (one character on blue and one on red is fine, last I heard).
*Using 3rd-party programs etc that either automate gameplay or add additional functionality beyond what is possible by simply reading the log file (some log-reader programs have been allowed so far, but they're probably reviewed on a case-by-case basis).
*Not sure on the exact criteria, but I believe bad behavior can result in at least a temporary ban as well (griefing other players via repeatedly training or kill-stealing would probably at least get you suspended, for example).

In short, after posting your petition I would go read through the server rules again incase you missed something.

At that level it's going to be faster to reroll. Don't do the above mentioned banable offenses.

Yes, if you broke a rule leading to a ban you can make a new account and have no issues as long as you don't break the rules again on the new account. At level 9 I'd just reroll on a new account.

Pretty much this.

Getting to level 9 in EQ takes a lot longer than most games. I'm not really willing to invest a ton of hours into P99 if the GMs are just going to ban for no apparent reason. If they don't unban me, I can certainly free up some hard drive space.

good luck greenA03....

Just submit a petition on the forums like people have suggested and find out what is going on. They are very reasonable, even when they may not have a good reason to be. If you are confident that there is nothing you've done that is a bannable offence I'm sure you'll get your account back - maybe in the mean time you can work on a second character on a new account? The game can always use more Druids!

I was once banned for no reason. Posted in the forum and it was quickly resolved.
