Chat "restriction"

Recommended Posts

I got a problem that I can't chat with my character. Nothing's working... no say/group/guild/general chat, not even emotes are working. I didn't even use the chat once until I wanted to reply to a whisper. There's a message: 'You must wait 6939 Days before speaking again'. But to be honest I don't want to wait ~19 years to chat again. :o Did anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix it? I'm not sure if the GM's received my Ticket.

 

Thanks for the help!

First of all, was there a reason that you got a chat restriction on your account? Were you being a racist or toxic prick to warrant that in the first place? If so, /violin.

Try deleting your WTF folder in your WoW directory and restarting the game with no addons enabled. This is an old school Blizzard Tech Support fix that they would tell you to do to reset everything back to default.

HI

thanks for your answer!

I haven't even say a thing that 'ban' was from the beginning I guess. I first noticed it when I couldn't reply to a whisper...

Unfortunately the tipp with the WTF cache folder didn't solve the problem.

 

Regards

No, I meant the WTF folder. It's all of the account settings and one of the first folders Blizzard would tell you to delete when contacting customer support.

The only other thing I can think of why this would be implemented against you would be because someone gained access to your account was doing some things in chat that were not allowed, such as advertising for leveling services, selling gold, etc. I strongly you recommend you find my post regarding the 2FA tutorial in the Support forum and set up your Authenticator. Also changing your password wouldn't hurt.

As for having your chat restriction lifted, you will have to post in the ban appeals thread with the criteria outlined on the site and await a response from a Game Master.
