One other thing, just in case somebody starts getting really mad. I can understand why, but CAPS LOCK is not cruise control for cool. It is, however, cruise control for "delete my post please." Thanks.

Everyone that got accidentally banned should get a Gaile Grey minipet!

Tuesg · Jul 05, 2006, 09:16 PM // 21:16

I'm not banned but I'm kind of scared to log on now just incase.

8 hours and i cant see any bann(on my guild too) - ANet say somthing about that banns?

Xedger · Jul 05, 2006, 09:17 PM // 21:17

Thank god I went out to eat lunch during this time that what seems to be mass banning.

So, is it safe to log back in now?

this has to be a glitch, especially coming right after the admitted emperor/finale glitch (that i missed while drinking many tasty adult beverages at the journey/def leppard concert last night). i feel extremely bad for anyone banned this way, but i definately think it will get sorted out and your accounts will be fine.

also, id like to point out as guinevere did, going afk in the rings game is NOT against the rules. the only thing you are doing is (eventually) losing money and im sure ANET completely encourages this gold sink. i havent been banned yet, and ill freely admit ive spent the better part of the festival in the rings (378k Favored/ 27k Unfavored as of now). ive left the game on overnight since the festival started, and the only times i havent been "afk gamblin" is when ive been disconnected in my sleep.

anyway, again im sorry to those who got banned, but im sure with a little patience and lots of work and apologies from ANET (you know they CANT be too happy with whats going on), youll be back in no time.

This is 100% a glitch. ArenaNet doesn't even have the manpower to ban this many people in so short of a time.

The question is: Why were only some people banned?

Priss · Jul 05, 2006, 09:40 PM // 21:40

I think so, I think all of this bans happened to people who were online at the same time, but ot to everyone ofcourse.

I am starting to think this was caused by the glitches at the monastery...

Same I've been thinking over an hour and wondering what to do.

zhai · Jul 05, 2006, 09:42 PM // 21:42

I don't log in to a game now

i think that one of GMs just fell asleep over the keyboard and he pressed enter for a long time(scrolling list of accounts very fast down)...

Hidden in the Mist · Jul 05, 2006, 09:49 PM // 21:49

You think this is the surprise finale of the Dragon Festival?

Guinevere Ac · Jul 05, 2006, 09:50 PM // 21:50

afk time = 100hours. it's not against the eula. they made this titles hoping to sink loads of golds from ppl wanting to have there titles and ready to pay for them. bug

jaibas17 · Jul 05, 2006, 09:51 PM // 21:51

I had 5 mins connected at imperial palace

Hidden in the Mist · Jul 05, 2006, 09:53 PM // 21:53

This is interesting...I'm guessing someone successfully hacked into the server and started banning as many people as they could.

ROFL! although I was one of the members permanently banned

I really hope they get this fixed asap. I was working with guildies on my faction quests when I went afk to check something, when I returned I was booted from the game. when I tried to relog it gave me the banned message. I sent an email to ANet, so now I just wait.

bobert_monduvia · Jul 05, 2006, 09:55 PM // 21:55

you think anet knows about this yet?
you think they are trying to fix it?
i havent had a response to my email yet, and there isnt anything on the website or anything...
