did anyone recently get banned for using keyclone ?

[nargatt]

Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Use of Third Party Automation Software
This is what i got after using keyclone,does Blizzard identify this mutilboxing software is not legal now? i have heard same tragedy happened to use ahk.

[ghonosyph]

well, it all depends on how you were using it. If you were doing something that looked like automation then you're gonna get suspended. There ARE plenty of ways to automate(ie g15 keyboard macros, wow mouse macros., etc.) which when used with keyclone could have been something that they picked up on.... What did you do? :) lol

[Ellipsis]

Well, from the looks of it we have two in one day, 72 hour suspensions.

Maybe they've got some new GMs on the block and they fell asleep in GM class. Those training videos sure are boring. :p

They missed the part about boxing software, I guess. Or Warden is just having an "off day", lets hope. :(

would be handy to know if you guys play on same server, battlegroup, might be just 1 loose gm

[Gramzngunz]

I wonder if it has anything to do w/ them tracking those guys that teleport around making shapes and spelling words in mid-air. That would be my guess, but like that, it's only a guess!

[Littleburst]

It's probably just a clueless GM. It has happened before and it will happen again.

So just call billing or whatever phonenumber you should call for that and explain the situation. It has been undone before and it probably will be done again. :) I've read about people who got perm bans for multiboxing and they got their accounts back. So don't worry to much i'd say. Asuming you're not doing illegal things.

Greetings,
Thank you for your follow-up email regarding the account WoW1. This account was closed after evidence was produced indicating one or more characters on the account were found to be using an unauthorized cheat program. These programs provide character benefits that are not achievable in the World of Warcraft through normal means. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, character automation (also known as "botting"), increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. These types of programs offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.

As a result of this determination and the harmful nature of unauthorized programs on the game environment, the action taken against this account will not be reversed. Please understand that we do not reach this decision lightly. This action has been taken in accordance with our Terms of Use (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html).

keyclone isn't a cheat program, it doesn't automate anything so you obviously had something else going on.
In the department that detects hacks and bans people, Blizzard is WELL aware of keyclone and what it does, and multiboxing in general. They might have detected some unauthorized hacks that you ran on your account weeks ago. I don't recall any reputable source getting banned permanently for multiboxing in 2+ years.

:mad:Now They banned keyclone for sure.


sorry to hear, but you seem to be the only one here on the board, while i guess there is more than 1 kc user active atm. You might want to check what software is running on your computer, and eventually move away from windows to a secure operating system if you find anything 'weird' on it

[F9thRet]

Heh, I talked to two GM's just in the last two weeks, and one Account guy on the phone.

The Two GM's was over an idiot who would stand over the fishing well In Dal, and the other issue was if IT was ok to use that Flaming Piccolo to piss of gold spammers. (those ones who jump in the sky.)

Anyways, Both times I had a long conversation about Multi boxing, one guy I even sent here. Told him all about Keyclone, and both where impressed at how easy it was to do.

The phone guy was pretty cool also. Wanted to know how I did it, (was moving trials off my Main Battle.net.) Spent a good 20 minutes helping him Download it, and him taking notes on how to set it up.

I don't think Keyclone has been banned at all. Shoot, I even talked to Rob the other day on the phone 9over another issue all together) and he still is using his along with helping others on his server.

Isolatius has been a GM for a long time. since beta i think

Could of used the guides on Youtube that uses Keybclone and "other" software that automates your clones fulley.

IF muliboxing got banned then they will post on the froums they allways said they would, and they would update AUP before you login + they would give us a few weeks to so we all understand the rules, hell we all know Blizzard Staff Post and Read here, dure we be the frist to find out.

[Klesh]

Am using keyclone for several years now, never got into trouble. Somethings fishy imo (and I don't think it's keyclone).

[Daeri]

Nargatt, only one of your accounts got banned, right ? Out of how many total ?

Although the GM says their decision cannot be reversed, you can still try and contact the Account Administration department via email to make sure the situation is clear and that no mistake was made on their side (in that case a cancellation of the ban might happen). If I were you I'd like to know exactly why my account was banned and only this department can answer this question.

I made a phone call and emailed them about my temp ban, and was reinstated the next day. As mentioned in my thread, I think someone reported me, and a gm made the suspension without looking into it.

I used keyclone in 2007 I think for about 3 months, and had no problems from blizzard. And people would get harassed for multiboxing a lot more back then. I think I had an addon to handle all the b.s. tells in game.

[Khatovar]

Don't need an addon. Just tack a Do Not Disturb message on to your follow macro. I use /dnd No, I don't want to group, I don't want gold, I'm not cheating and I'm not for sale. Real questions answered after the beep. Beep..

That usually covers it.

awesome! I'm stealing that!

[3box]

Yeah, but back then, the tells were more along the lines of you're hacking, cheating, unfair, reported, etc. And the tells would keep flowing in, unlike these days where the only tells I get are for gold and the level 1 asshole who says go to his and input my info before I'm banned.

[ferretb]

I still get a few tells like that, but I get more tells like, "Wow! That's so cool" than the "Loser/Hacker" whatever.
