Hey guys, maybe we need a post that lists any sign of trouble. Please list the date if you had one of your accounts banned and for what reason. Someone in here said as many as 5 people have been banned in the last couple of days. Also if you have been IP banned please let us know, or especially if more than one account has been banned.
I had an account temporarily banned 1 week ago, about 8-23-09 for trying to put too much dil on a lowbie char (2 bil in bank). It was auto-banned somehow and acclaim would not tell me exactly what happend. When I tried to log in it said incorrrect pw when I knew it wasn't. It took about 4 days to get it straightend out. I was paniked for a good while thinking my account was hacked. Acclaim did nothing to confirm or deny my account was hacked, banned or anything.
This experience taught me to use gmail accounts for all. I had made some account with bogus emails that I couldn't log into or had an email account or two that I could no longer access. That makes it very time consuming because they have to ask you all these questions to reset your pw (BANG HEAD HERE!). :rtfm: If you get any of the question incomplete or wrong it will delay your access for sometimes days. My suggestion, if you have an account without a corresponding email, change the email on it before an issue arises.
Anyway please tell us about your ban story as it can help our community by not repeating the mistakes and maybe even entertaining us a bit.
Thanks,
KJ
