I think I might have received a tempoary ban for exiting the program too fast (alt+F4) or switching characters too fast. I don't run any mods or hacks.
Everytime I log into a game it disconnects 30 secs after I join it. I've tried resetting my modem, resetting my IP address, and it hasn't worked, so I think it's an account ban and not an IP address related ban.
Any one have any ideas as to how I can get back on again before the long weekend? That would be greeeeat, thanks.
BTW, this is a horrible system for dealing with bots, it obviously doesn't stop them, it just bans people who don't deserve it. Very frustrating. At least they could give us a message that says "you've been temp banned" or something so we don't spend time trying to fix our hardware or calling our ISP.
Typically, if you go to the customer service forum or whatever over at the Battle.net board and post your problem coolly, I've seen them respond to many of them with details about the ban and why. If that helps at all. There's really nothing else you can do but wait it out other than that, I'm afraid.
Any idea how long these can last for? I've been looking around the forums there and people say anywhere from 12 hours to a couple days. So far it's been this way for 2 days for me.
I've heard everytime you try and log in it adds time to your ban but I honestly have no idea if this is true or just superstition.
Did you say you can actually log into your character and join a game? Because normally a ban doesn't let you onto the realm. Your character screen will pop up but instead of seeing your characters it will say Realm Down or You have been temporarily restricted from this realm. If you can actually get into games I suggest you post a topic in tech support 'cause I have no idea what that is.
Yes, I can get into games, but only for about 30 seconds or so, then it boots me. I've read cases of this happening to other people and they claimed it was a ban, but perhaps it's not. I'll try again tonight and if it's still like that I'll post a report.
If you were banned you wouldent be able to get on your account or BNet.

Anyways, thanks for the advice Seth.
