Dear sir,

This is a new account and I have just started playing for not very long. My hunter character is only Level 14. I do not share account password with anyone else and I am the sole and only person using this account. And can you please investigate as to why my account has been closed?

Oh shit, the coming of an end?

This can't be right Sendi Mutiara is a legal distributer of Blizzard games in our country, and they're distributing WoW. Don't tell me we're not "allowed" to play WoW in the first place?

So what happens to the money we paid?

Before that mind telling us what kind of information did you put in when registering for WoW?

Sorry folks. Its Asiasoft, not Sendi Mutiara any more.
Well, they banned me and giving me a GOOD READSON for it. read it. hope you guys understand that paragraph.

but why is this bann permenately ??????

cause Blizzard are fags? GG

I don't know how did they manage to find and catch you so fast. I've been playing for over a year and I've known alot of guildsmate which never encountered this issue.

Did you put in your REAL NAME and ADDRESS and selected your REAL country in your account info AFTER you activated it?

I believe it is only apply to new accounts.
Yeah. I use all true identity in the registration, no fakes. I have immediately created another account on Mar 02 after the closure. BANNED again on Mar 05. same explaination from acc admin too. too lazy to post it again. Got both email reply from blizz on Mar 07.

err.. only for wow or include other blizzard games as well..

sc, diablo, w3 ?

friend, this is a WoW thread.

lol.. come ocenic la..

I think you might have to be more aggressive (but be diplomatic about it). They say that you are in violation of their Terms of Usage.

If you answer yes to any of these, they will ban that account :

1. Access to your account e.g. sharing passwords. Blizzard doesn't like this at all, even if you are sharing passwords with family.
2. Sell Gold
3. Buy Gold. If they catch a gold farmer, they will trace all transactions back to the customer who bought the gold and ban gold buyers too.
4. Selling a lot of stuff for RL money. They can't prove that the financial transaction has taken place but if there's a lot of transferring between different characters, they will ban first and wait for answers later. If transferring between alts or accounts that are under the same name, they shouldn't be banning you.

This seems to be the explaination from them. How did you create the account and did you use the WoW Launcher or bypass that? If you bypass the Launcher, they will suspect that you are hacking, etc. and would ban you.

If you did not violate the Terms of Usage, go and defend your case but make it a strong one. Not offensive or rude as that will get you nowhere. But state your case clearly and reitierate it. Also, ask them for specific details pertaining to the ban.

Oceanic servers are still located in US, and you're using the same cd-key and account information.

lol Singapore can play while we can't

awesomeness. Or should I say...

THIS IS BLASPHEMY, THIS IS MADNESS

For everyone else, don't panic lah. The ToU states down the location because it's to indicate where Blizzard have their legal attorneys to handle disputes. Not sure whether their official distributors can represent.

The Blues have already clarified in the forum that the ToU is to cover Blizzard's IP (Intellectual Property) and not to ban legit players from countries not mentioned there. Only if you are hacking, selling gold, buying gold, sharing passwords, and other stuff mentioned in the ToU, you will be banned.

Of course, there are always one or more innocent parties out there that get caught. Just get back to them but don't say that you're going to commit suicide. They will call the police. True story.

Maybe its because you used a guestpass -> upgrade instead of buying an original version? That's the only thing I can think of...

My account created on the 8th, this is my fifth day playing.
I registered under Malaysia too and paid with credit card ( Malaysia Master Card ).
Will i get ban too?
I lvled to 20 with trial before activating it though.

If this is true i wont be lvling my account now.
How did they track us? With credit card? or ip address?

Do we need to buy the starter kit and get the cd key from there and use montly prepaid to play? or only credit card ban.
pls advise

That is EXACTLY what the guest pass is for, and you need the retail cd-key to upgrade it after 10-days.

I just sold my mount gold i earn for USD 20 after hearing this news. at least i don lose anything

ZOMG... just came back to wow last friday and I paid 3 month CC... if they ban me will they refund my $$??? no... I just bought BC too... ZOMG... I'm gonna sue...

(Edit: Btw did you play 24hrs??? if you play more than 'normal' you'll be suspected as gold farmer and kena ban. )

Im changing my WoW contact address to SG now.

Don't do that... they track IP address as well, unless you can change S'pore IP too...

Because if you were caught using unreasonable IP address (today USA tomorrow China). They will suspect you used powerleveling and Bamm.... BAmm Bamm... Bammm BANNNNNN...

No change confirm ban, so i now change still got some hope though im leveling at quite a fast pace; lvl 35 now in 5 days.

So now how, address also cannot put Malaysia. Need to move to Singapore to play or what.

This country sux, no WoW and no paypal access.
