I haven't played since May 15 2012 (I only remember because college finals) and was looking to get back into WoW since I graduated and have a career.

I had forgotten my password so I reset it and when I logged in it said my account was closed. I was completely bewildered as I never even received an email stating why.

After a ticket, they resent the ban email and said on May 24th, 2012 I was banned for selling or buying from 3rd party whatevers. I assumed this meant selling or buying WoW gold.

I wasn't too worried because I assumed my account had been compromised and that they would be able to tell. I also chuckled a bit because I had never had more than 5,000 gold on my account so selling/buying should have been easily detected.

I went through the I got hacked form thingy, copied my license, did all of the steps. I expected a fairly easy resolution because a random IP would have had to been used and I have only used 1 static IP throughout my WoW existence.

A few hours later, I receive a response that said my account would remain closed and that this was the final decision.

So now I am stuck here confused and pretty surprised. The account has never had a warning, suspension, or anythinge and the last person to play on the account was probably the one who compromised the account.

I just bought all the keys again but I am pretty disappointed with what happened. I am a very honest person and never even had enough money or gold to buy/sell it.

Anyone else have a similar situation?

Anything I can even do?

EDIT: Pretty stupid, but I did not have an authenticator on the account, which I guess I should have.

That's shitty. Blizz can be a bitch sometimes for sure

Bad luck I guess?

Like I said, I am more disappointed than upset. The account had 6 85's and a few random alts, nothing too special.

Its more the point than the actual result for me.

Just started fresh though. Current;y RAFing myself :D

Google the "Unbaninator"

Its a guide on the web that some guy put a lot of time and effort into, saved me once before.

Hope this helps.

I did, but cannot seem to find the actual .pdf. Currently, the guy is not offering the service anymore and it seems the guide has been taken down.

Thank you for the help!

I have it on my computer if i could just figure out how to get it to you. I'm retarded when it comes to technology.

I will try to dig it up on some random site (*initiates 5 anti-virus programs)

If not, I will send you a PM.

alright.

it may help to call them. i've had issues where support tickets got me nowhere and a 5 minute phone call fixed everything.

Calling blizz usually fixes everything.
