Account Banned?

[Gronkus]

Hi, Me my wife and my roommate all played here back in 2014, but we stopped playing as real life happened. One of my accounts Egerha8815k is banned on the server for some reason, and on top of all that, our characters on all 3 accounts are gone. They were not too high level, maybe level 12 or 13, but my warrior had a full set of Crafted armor, and my wife had a Ghoulbane on her paladin. Were accounts deleted since 4 years ago? Also, why would one of my 3 accounts be banned?

Hi. Submit a thread in the petition forum.

As for reasons you could have been banned, the most likely reasons are...

RMT - buying/selling goods with irl cash
2boxing - one person playing multiple accounts.

Odds are its the second imho because ive heard stories of ppl boxing their wife or kids character for a "quick transfer" and got caught. Not saying you did or didnt 2box but it seems like based on multiple IP exemptions id guess its along those lines.

Good Luck getting it resolved! Welcome back!

Thank You, is there a way to fix this? I remember the IP issue at the time, so we all used hot spots so we would not violate the IP rules or multi-boxing rules, and we also submitted an exemption request at that time too but never heard back. Would a GM see this post and take a look?

Also, what about characters? Was there a character deletion since 2014? We had 3 level 14 or 15 characters with gear.

No they never delete characters. I do know that if you dont have the patcher updated and try to log in, it will show all characters gone/deleted. Perhaps this is what is happening to you?

There's been a few RMT banwaves since 2014, and completely innocent people have got caught in it. Accounts were banned but can be reinstated after a hands-on check, if innocence can be ascertained.

What you need to do is put a petition in https://www.project1999.com/forums/f...splay.php?f=25 (the forum petiton setion)

Also you sure it was on this server and not another of the emu servers?

OP: This ^

If you haven't played in a while, make sure you have updated patch files. You'll load to an empty character select screen otherwise.

As for your banned account, good luck.

Sometimes the 'fake deleted characters' bug happens even when you are up to date. Reboot eq, choose the server again and hope for the best.

What's the point of putting an IP exemption in if you're going to try and "play around" the reason that you have to put one in?

I don't know what happened to those accounts but you're playing with fire using hotspots on 3 accounts...should have just waited it out. If there was an occasion where the 3rd person couldn't play I'm willing to bet one of the two active players logged the third account in to buff or something and logged it back out.

Definitely put a petition in, but your impatience on the exemption might have played a role in this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
