Curse

I lost the ~500 tickets I started with over about four hours. Did not get banned.

Thorinfire · Jul 05, 2006, 09:09 PM // 21:09

How many of you that were banned ,had been logged in for a long period of time, like all day or overnight?

MSecorsky · Jul 05, 2006, 09:09 PM // 21:09

It sounds like the bans happened in a batch process based on certain criteria, which probably is based on data gathered over time. So is there a common thread with everyone banned over the past week, or even over the past event?

I'm afraid to go home and look at my account now. I got the "charmed" title, and fear that I may not be.

I've afked in the rings for about 2-3 whole nights, and havn't been banned

Rebirther · Jul 05, 2006, 09:11 PM // 21:11

ouch, i'm so glad i logged of the night before, but if this is true it would explain some of the inactivity in my guild as there are normally alot of players on, but today... very empty, and has been like that all day.

good luck getting it sorted.

My money is on a disgruntled former employee.

Just logged to make sure I wasn't banned, not touching it again until I'm sure I can play without getting banned.

It's the Grasps! This is all part of the Dragon Festival! THIS is the true finale!

...sorry, just trying to lighten the mood.

Hmm well, I had AFK gambled all night. But I had an ERR7 and logged back in. Went AFK again for 20 minutes and got booted and then got banned.

Priss · Jul 05, 2006, 09:13 PM // 21:13

Thank God me and my friends are not he only ones. I was questiong and all of the sudded I am kicked out. When I tried to Log back in it said Permanent BAN".

Me, someone from my guild, 2 of my allience, and I also heard that the leader of Keys was also banned.

...and yes.. I have the unlucky tittle. But my friend fromt he guild doesn't so it cant be that.

My acRED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO is too valuable to just be waisted like that. I spent to much time and money on it. I have 6 characters and over 1,500 hours on it.

I was about half way through raisu palace and I was kicked off and banned at about 2:30pm cst. I have about 2300 hours spent in game, and I have never broken any rules that I am aware of. It's nice to know this is not an isolated incident. I have filed a support ticket and I'm awaiting further news.

This sounds like a major glitch, anet had better move on this fast before it hurts their buisness. I hope to have my account back soon, I'm not about to buy another.

bobert_monduvia · Jul 05, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

i hit 9 hours just before i got banned...

bobert_monduvia · Jul 05, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

Edit: double post

i also had unlucky title...

Feng Leung · Jul 05, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

So i'm guessing there's going to be a rollback, since there's too many accounts to sort out i think.

This happened to me around 4 PM Eastern time.

I had numerous connection errors throughout the event, especially last evening. I did do several things between being afk.
I was afk for maybe 25hours, and am still afk while at work. I checked at lunch and im still on the rings.

Obviously something is going on with the system.

It's funny seeing the "omg, plz unban my good samaritan friend A-Net!" posts.

I have seen people posting about being banned and how innocent they were, but suddenly when a moderator came with evidence it all turned around. Online games should have moderators to talk with the members. You'll see that more and more "innocent" people are less innocent than they make us think to believe. I personally believe that you are innocent but making emotional posts here doesn't help. Sending angry letters and spamming their mailboxes doesn't help either. Give them the information they need and let them sort it out. The festival has been a giant bugfest, so maybe the problem lies there.

I wouldn't know all the names of the characters on my account. Not right now, without looking.
