question about banned accounts - Guild Wars Forums

solstar · Apr 02, 2008, 11:42 PM // 23:42

I my self am a guild leader an i recently lost an officer who i'm fairly certain wouldn't get up an leave with out at least telling me. so i tried to add him to friends under two different character names of his. both gave me a message that said no such character name. i suspect that he might have been banned. is this correct? is there any way i could contact him if hes not banned?

Thx for you help.

Did you guys have a forum? Maybe through there. If not all you can do is wait for him to PM you some how.

Commander Ryker · Apr 03, 2008, 12:27 AM // 00:27

Maybe you're typing it in wrong? Double check and make sure.

solstar · Apr 03, 2008, 12:44 AM // 00:44

i'll check the forum

i've double checked and everything. would this be happening was banned?

Neo Nugget · Apr 03, 2008, 12:46 AM // 00:46

I'm not sure if banned characters get deleted, i'm thinking that they don't but.........just an assumption.

farmerfez · Apr 03, 2008, 01:08 AM // 01:08

did it say he left the guild in your guild status?

solstar · Apr 03, 2008, 01:21 AM // 01:21

it did say that he left the guild

Hott Bill · Apr 03, 2008, 01:27 AM // 01:27

Hacked maybe? It would account for why he does not have any chars.

Kerwyn Nasilan · Apr 03, 2008, 01:28 AM // 01:28

Well they do not delete your account upon banning so I would asume if his chars are gone but he is still isted under guild roster he was hacked and perhaps had his chars deleted. My best guess

solstar · Apr 03, 2008, 01:33 AM // 01:33

ok. so all i can do is wait and see if he contacts me?

GaaaaaH · Apr 03, 2008, 01:36 AM // 01:36

maybe the character has been deleted (bythe player)

o you nkow other characters on the account?

Commander Kanen · Apr 03, 2008, 03:29 AM // 03:29

I Dont think Anet has the right to delete an account as the infomantion on said account would belong to you as you paid for it. but then can stop you from using it...

might want to read the EULA again. Anet owns everything and anything on their servers. When we bought the game, we basically just bought the right to be able to use their software and their server.

It's not whether they have the right to. It's that they choose not to. If they delete an account and then end up researching the ban and finding that it was an error, there is probably no reasonable way to undo the deletion.

I have friends that was banned and they still in my friends list but they are no longer online hope this helps

Prof Of Black · Apr 03, 2008, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Could be hacked yeah.
Because, when you're banned, you can still be added to other people's friend lists.

maybe he deleted that character? try adding his other ign's.

solstar · Apr 03, 2008, 11:59 PM // 23:59

i've tried two of his login names and can't remeber the others. any way i could find them out in game?

I.E. is there any way i can check all the people who i've whispered?

Lykan · Apr 04, 2008, 03:07 AM // 03:07

Banned characters do not get removed from guilds nor deleted, and can still be added to f-list. Guess he left and deleted his chars imo.

Look in guild status, where it says ".......... left the guild."

If the name there dont work it means he deleted the char.

solstar · Apr 05, 2008, 02:06 AM // 02:06

yeah. the name there dosn't work.

any thing else i can do?
