Second Notice From Bizzard

***Notice of Account Closure***


Access to the World of Warcraft account SHANGRILA25, and any World of Warcraft account associated with the payment information you have provided, has been permanently disabled. The account has been identified as having used unauthorized game modifications and thus is in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. The recurring subscription on the account has been disabled to prevent further charges.

Please review the World of Warcraft Terms of Use at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html, which you accepted when you installed World of Warcraft and established the account(so). Section 2, Paragraph C details the limitations of game play modifications and use of any third-party or ?packet sniffing? software. In addition, Section 3, Paragraph C, parts iii and iv restrict the use of any hack, scripting or macroing software which obtains information from World of Warcraft to gain a competitive advantage over other players.

Furthermore, any activities not intended by game design which affect the economy, the client, player characters or the world itself have a tremendous negative impact on the potential enjoyment for all players. The effects of these activities take many forms including a bloated game economy, server instability, and allowing unauthorized access to accounts, computers, and player data.

As a result, the account(s) will no longer be accessible and will unfortunately not be reopened under any circumstances.

Any disputes or questions concerning this account action can only be addressed by Account Administration. To learn more about how Account Administration is able to assist you, please visit us at http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowaa/.

Pro-Banning

AUTHOR: Dave - (Canada)

POSTED: Thursday, October 19, 2006

How is Blizzard ripping you off? They aren't taking any more money from you. They are doing what they feel needs to be done to preserve the game for the other subscribers.

It's a tricky situation that they can't give you the information that led them to ban you. That information could be used by someone to figure out how to by-pass their cheat detection.
I know that there are certain hardware / OS configurations that could trigger a "false positive". Short of getting a dev from Blizzard to spend the time watching you access your account from your PC -- with the goal of fine-tuning their cheat detection algorithm -- there isn't much you can do.

Advice to others playing online games:
Never let anyone have access to your account, except on your PC with you watching. If they get your account banned, you have no recourse.

I used to play online. EQ, AC, AO, AA, AC2, DAoC among others.

I'd still be paying for an account or two today if only cheats had been banned back then.
Because they didn't ban people, a lot of people stopped playing -- enough that servers and even entire games were shut down.

If I were just starting out as a new player, I'd be glad to see the high numbers of bannings that Blizzard is known for.

Yes, they are in it for profit. And somehow they feel there's more profit in refusing to take money from some people.
After watching some on-line games die, I agree.
