I accidentally did when I received a tell from someone as I was hitting that command for a gold seller.
No, i saw someone mention that command in game once, but i never did get to use it. Yeah just call them up man, Companies ban people wrongly all the time, i had some friends have that happen in WoW when blizz did one of their massive ban sweeps. they called up blizz and got it fixed up with an apology and some free time. Just ignore the NC fanbots, they can't seem to believe a company could ever make a mistake. "The great thing about human language is that it prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand." |

Did you buy your CD key from ANYWHERE other than Steam or the official NCSoft site? They have banned people who bought their CD keys from specific websites and those people will not be unbanned, according to NCSoft. -Computer specs no one cares about: check. -MMOs played no one cares about: check. -Xfire stats no one cares about: check. -Signature no one cares about: check. ------------------------------------------------------------ |

Anyway, about the op: Or your account was "hacked" (meaning you chose an insecure password, gave it away, or were naive enough to reply to phishing emails and went to insecure websites about that game). In that case, your naivity did cost you a bunch to have you learn a lesson. Which means you didn't really deserve it but on the other hand it was your fault to some degree. Or it was simply a mistake and you were collateral damage in NCsofts hunt on goldspammers. In that case, contact them, phone them, email them or whatever. They are not interested in banning innocent people either since that only results in unhappy customers and a bad reputation which they surely don't want.

Hi Ravish; If its any consolation, ignore the "you must have screwed up/ bought gold/ got reported " trolls. It does happen. I had same situation with sony . Got in to find my Vanguard account banned. Contacted them, and was told I had been selling gold on my everquest 2 account. Informed them that my eq2 account had been closed for 18 months. they investigated and apologised as they found a number of accounts had been hacked. as has been said, best to contact nc soft. good luck. |

I would really like to emphasize this, as it seems to be the most likely at this point. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, some people buy CD keys at other places that ARE legit. There were a few sites selling cheaper than NCSoft and they decided to ban all those keys. You can dispute it with the website you bought from, which I would do. I haven't seen you reply to this thread in a bit but please let us know if you bought your key anywhere else, as this is the most likely case.
It is sad that you won't get your account back, but you can get your money back. -Computer specs no one cares about: check. -MMOs played no one cares about: check. -Xfire stats no one cares about: check. -Signature no one cares about: check. ------------------------------------------------------------ |

The gold spammers maybe just have a more recognizable form of advertisement. Spamming or no spamming, if one did partake in RMTs and RMTs is against the EULA, that would deserve a ban. Being at the char select screen I'm sure had nothing to do with it. It was probably just a coincidence that the banning happened during an unusually long time in the char select screen. I think that part is just pure coincidence. I'm not creative enough to have a signature |

Personally, I think you're one of the ones that went to that website I shall not name that was keylogging folks. Even if you were, I wouldn't hold it against you because seems quite a few did and as much as some are flaming those that went there it said they were giving away kinah not asking for you to buy any so I'm not sure why some are raking those that did go there over the coals. Not to mention they set it up to look like the actual NCSoft site so some probably had no idea they were going to a different site and some probably still don't. After a day or two the gold spammers started using those accounts to spam their messaging so people that had those accounts eventually got banned. Even saw a toon as high as lvl 24 doing the spam so you know that person's account was jacked. There are a few running around with banned accounts right now that didn't actually sell any gold or participate in any wrongdoing. They simply made the mistake of going to that site. If you are one of those people I'm not sure what you can do. Either way, whether this was a completely false banning or your account was keylogged I feel for ya. Best advice I can give is safeguard your info and if you're not sure about a site don't go to it, or if something sounds to good to be true it probably is. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Same thing has happened to me. I have never purchased anything or sold anything to a third party, have never used third party software or any hacks, and have never exhibited harassing behavior or anything. I have never been to any sites regarding Aion except for the main site and this one, which is a different login. I am just a low key casual player who logs in for an hour or two a night and have only reached level 11 so I was really surprised to see my account banned and no email or explanation at all. I am not even really active in the in-game chat so I don't really know what is going on. Hopefully I can get a response from someone at NCSOFT soon and have it resolved. RIP SWG |

Maybe the problem is that the OP is not on NCSofts approved list of kinah sellers? |
