Your temp ban is used across all of your cd key, IP and account. If any one of those gets hit with a temp ban, and you relog with any one of those 3, the temp ban or ban is then given to all three of those.
Meaning, if you get temp ban, the only way to truely get rid of it until it wears off is log in with a new cd key, new IP and new account. All 3 must be new or untagged.
You logging into a new IP above with the same cd key and/or account, just gave that temp ban to that new IP you used.
But likely your issue was a soft flag to your IP. Meaning there was likely a temp ban given to a subset of available IPs under a similar IP range.
Such as 14.30.200.100 being banned, and your IP is14.30.200.101. Meaning they likely flagged the IP range of 14.30.200.100-199
thanks for Your input man! and explaining the combo of cdkey, ip and account thing
the LTE ip range was very much different than my "normal" internet connection - but I agree, its still possible that range of adresses was hit with a temp b
What is still beyond my understanding ->
how a "temp ban" is still there after 3 years ??? this is wild - shouldn't it be gone after like 2 weeks, a month even or so - it's supposed to be a "temporary" ban after all
- but for now it looks like i got hit with a permanent-temp ban
Not that I care much, since most of us moved to D2R anyway - but I'm still interested if it is a common thing or rather not
- to me it looks very uncommon - maybe it is permanent after all, like not as definitive as "cdkey disabled" = permabanned but still way more punishing than classic temp ban. I wonder if anyone else eperienced such a behaviour
