Banned?

[rcx1337]

What could I have possibly done?! I had a group this morning in KC, all was good. Left after a couple hours, ran to FV, sold, ran back, logged. Now when I try to log in, it says my account is banned.

Anyone else have an issue like this before?

Put in a petition, no one can help you here. Did you have a bad name that they would close your account until its changed? if not try not to RMT on your way to the petition forums. Hope that helps.

How do I petition outside of the game? No, I don't think it was my name, ive had it for 8 years. Never done any RMT or broken any rules, so i have nooo clue.

oh petition forum :D reading (9)!

Doesn’t matter if you’ve had a name for 8 years. People have had names changed after having them for that long before

What was the char name? If it was borderline bad they will ban your account to make you change it

I've had my account banned erroneously before.

It happens. Just be polite and go through the proper channels on the forums.

Thanks, this is the only explanation I can think of! I appreciate the reply.

once you get unbanned you just quit posting in it and it locks overtime

Hope you got things figured out by now. Woke up one morning with my account banned. I just got a lumi staff for my druid and was at level to use it. For me it was character name. Took about a week or so for the devs to contact me but they did. They reactivated my account and had me contact a GM in game to have my name reset. If there are any other character name issues on your account the devs will ask you to request a reset on them as well.

I have to ask: What was your name?

boxing and rmt not allowed here

If you bother to read they said they didnt RMT or do anything wrong and they have played here for 8 years so they probably know about the no boxing thing ;)

People that box/RMT definitely always publicly admit to it, right? ...right?

Can't you legitimately trade with an RMTer and get caught in the crossfire?

I guess technically yes, but not sure what scenario would occur where a legal trade with an RMTer would trigger a problem for you.

If you're trading plat for an item or vice versa it's going to be clear that it's a legal trade so you should be fine. The ones that raise the red flags are like if you're trading large amounts of plat for free or if you're getting a valuable item for free...if the person you do the exchange with later gets found out as an RMTer, then those transactions look suspicious.

At least that's my understanding. Obviously can't speak for how the staff look at everything.

have to be careful when taking money period, you can get flagged thinking its legit money for a service if you provide it. IE: powerleveling, item farming, etc. Just log every transaction with what the service provided was and you are good.

What was the char name? If it was borderline bad they will ban your account to make you change it
i had a toon on blue that was lvl 20 and had his full name about 12 days after server launched and i was made to change my name in 2020....names of toons and guilds are subject to gm and guide discrection so if they promote someone to guide and that new guide feels your name violates rules they can rule for name change and thats final, there is no appeal...my toons name was Dalinkwent Deadagain...technicaly not against the rules cus the first name was Dalinkwent not thelinkwent but the guide went with the rule that my last name was deadagain( not allowed to have a surname that is 2 words or a compound word)...basicly you just gotta take it on the chin and move on, sucks but i spent 6 months pissed and it did me no good, honestly i think it put a target on my toons ... can only piss the cops off so much before they start running your name just because.
my advice, just fly as far under the radar as possible

[Pootle]

.my toons name was Dalinkwent Deadagain...technicaly not against the rules cus the first name was Dalinkwent not thelinkwent but the guide went with the rule that my last name was deadagain( not allowed to have a surname that is 2 words or a compound word)

TO be honest the name does violate some of the rules...

Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest
Names where the combination of the first and last name forms a phrase or violate a previous rule (e.g. Crymea River, Bran Muffin, Story Thyme)
For all of the above, misspellings and alternative spellings (such as spelling it backwards) of the word or words are also unacceptable.

But i agree, best thing to do is not have an offensice name and dont be a dick to other people in game. Easiest way for someone to get back at you if they think you dicked them, is to report them for a name violation.

[cd288]

Yeah it can be frustrating especially if you’ve had a name for awhile. I know people who had names specifically approved by a staff member years ago and then a new staff member makes them change it. Would be cool if there was some type of database showing the person had their name approved and that new staff down the road would honor that approval.

But oh well ultimately not the end of the world

If you get a 1 day or whatever suspension it'll still flag as "banned" even though you can get back on after whatever time.

This happened to me back in 2011, got a suspension over a name issue but left my character in EC (someone must have snitched) and the account was logged out when I came back from a long AFK so I had no knowledge of what happened or why. If $melinda did send me any tells I didnt know about it.

[Ataxio]

I am now terrified and don't ever want to log into my cleric, he has the best name and i've been given passes by older GMs from the Derubael era. Nobody knows me anymore :|

So why was Encroaching Death banned? Someone should take his avatar, it gave nice color to the forum:
