Why did my newly created account just receive a ban?

Recommended Posts

Wtf - I have just installed the game, had a hassle in finding my password (can't be the reason why, but I am mentioning it anyway) and then success in logging in. Created a char, logged back out, downloaded a couple of addons and now want to log back in - account banned

What happened?

If this is the start of the Elysium experience, why would I even set foot in this place?

Edit: Could it be addons, no? This is my list.

I am looking forward to both clarification and obviously resolving this issue @Pottu

Pottu doesn't work here any more, so he probably can't resolve anything for you. It's possible that you flagged an anticheat measure with a modified client or some background program. You could find out yourself by submitting a ban appeal in the forum marked "Ban Appeals."

If you type the wrong password to many times then I have heard that your account gets temporarily banned. Maybe it's that.

Ive written in the ban appeal section as an edit to the same post: that 2 consecutive bans happen for just newly created account, right as I wanted to login. I couldnt even, they were banned right away. either something is wrong with this internally here on the website or it must have something to do with the addon list, getting auto-banned. I have researched the latter, but there is no addon named that is banned? Awaiting a reply and ofc lifting of the ban

Do you have any hacks?

Do you have modified wow files?

Some software injecting stuff in your exe?

Did you perhaps buy gold?

These things could/will get you banned pretty fast.

No, of course not. Like I said, I am just starting out. And I have no clue if any of these addons have that. They were all listed under the recommendations for vanilla wow

No answer on the ban appeals yet either..

That usually takes a little while, they get tons of appeals.

you might get a generic response too... "ban is ban, but you are welcome to create a new account" lol 

Try to create a new account w/o the addons. I would try that while you wait for a response.

If you haven't edited the content of the file realmlist.wtf to:


set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org

 

then when you log in it will say account is locked. You must edit the file to be able to play.

 

Edit: just re read the OP and saw you did log in at one point. Then sorry I do not have an answer :)

1) if that is the case, i have no problem with it. i just leave. i am just writing this ban appeal to make sure i dont get banned for nothing. i have other things to do then and dont want to waste my time with any shady business

2) yes i try this later. actually i could try to create multiple accounts to see at which point the insta-ban happens. i hope (and i dont want to hope in my life, i want to know) that this does not get "personal" on my IP then, that's why I ask/wait for an official statement.

actually it would be Really great to know what addons are banned? simple as that. i have googled and there is no list, players are guessing. why be so lazy, as devs? just release and make public what interfers.

thank you everyone for your reply.

Your Addonlist looks fine.

 

If you typed in your Password wrong for a couple times you get "banned" for 20 minutes or so.

What you can try is downloading another 1.12 Client, maybe yours has WoD Character Models or a Injector like FoV Fix.

 

And Download your Addons only from Trustworthy sides, so you're sure they aren't modificated.

If you just made an account how could you have trouble remembering your pw?  Sounds more you had an account already and got hacked and since you don't have 2fa you'll be banned until you enable it.

I also have just remembered that I have AutoIt installed, but for completely different purposes as automate anything on WoW. Could this be it? I have no problem deinstalling it, since I rarely ever use it.

I did not know the 20min thing, re-trying

Yes I did download the regular 1.12 client. All the addons were downloaded by the two top sites found on googled, which should be okay

this is really simple. I multitask very much and dont hold attention to memory (spiritual background) so it sometimes happens that I just allow muscle memory to do it's thing and on the 3-4th try it then succeeds. as funny as it sounds, but over the years i have figured out that it requires less energy than actual thought-based recalling/memory

I did not not know that Elysium is so sensitive to passwords. You can endlessly retry in the live version

thanks to the both of you

AutoIt? As In AutoIt.exe? :D anything .exe is probably a hack.

If it's an actual addon, it shouldn't ban u, unless you are doing some weird buttonspamming macro

the software autoit.. yes there is somewhere a the .exe to this particular problem on my computer, ofc, but I have mentioned this in case some integral function of elysium here scans the entire pc for specific terms and then bans.

but this is extreme overthinking here. it might have been just the typing of the false password, ending up in a 20min ban...

okay folks, you can forget everything here.

the winner is: Alrik

has nothing to do with all of the guesses above. it might have been a 20min ban due to a false password, etc

can login as usual. good game/good life everyone.

Please explain exactly what this program do. It "Sounds" very hack-ish. Like botting.

Edit: Spelling.

Ah, well, glad its solved! Enjoy the game.

Also, if you dont have 2FA enabled, DO IT. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER DO IT.

If you don't, I will give you the 100% guarantee you will get hacked at some point.

Its an Standalone Software that can do Things in an automated Order.

 

For example i have a Customer that doesn't want to Upgrade his VOIP PC Software, so if someone else logs into that PC the Credentials would be wrong and he'd need to type it in every time he uses a different PC.

 

We then made a Routine with "AutoIt" that locks your Mousecommands while it goes to the Taskbar, opens the Icon of the VOIP Software, presses "Login", opens an Notepad where the Number of your Account is (117 for example), copy&pastes it and puts it into the Software and presses "login" and then releases the Mouse again.
