Keyclone and RAFing yourself are legal right?

[Dabrixmgp]

Im hella pissed just got this email today. I have 4 accounts RAFed together so I can get alts to level 60 on my main account faster. I only use Keyclone, no hacks or speed boosts, instant ports or shit like that and was only dual boxing. Here is the email they sent me:

Greetings,

Just to add my account has been in perfect standing for 3 years and have never had any warnings or suspensions before so Im just wondering what the hell I did to go from no warning or suspension to a straight BANHAMMER.

Contact billing and see what they have to say.


Keyclone is fine.
As if RAF, to yourself or to others.

Based on what you've posted, I can see no reason.

>World of Warcraft accounts that were closed
It says that other accounts were closed - were _all_ your accounts banned at once?

Also - we're all your accounts in the same name?

[Maxion]

Not being in the same name sounds like the most likely reason here, unless you were automating something.

I've heard of several trial accounts being incorrectly banned by Blizzard recently (many cases reported in the French customer support forum but I guess all regions are in the same boat) It seems calling phone support help resolving this issue.

I think I put them in my brother's name but that shouldnt be bannable since I was the one paying for them. At least if that was the reason it should be easy to clear up.

If they were all in your brothers name, then it shouldn't be an issue.
But even still, I'd call billing and see if you could change that.. point out you were the sole owner of the accounts from start till now, and have been the only one to pay for them too.

If some were in his name and others were in your name.
Well, that's a reason for them to ban, as sharing accounts is against the EULA, with the exception of a parent/guardian who shares with their minor child.
Even if that was the case, if you're the sole user of the accounts then call billing.

If you share with your brother, and live together (same IP address), you might be able to get them to transfer them all into your name.

There's your ban.

You might get it sorted by getting customer services to unban them and put them all on one battle.net account, but right now what you've done is technically a bannable offense. No account sharing means no account sharing. You just shared accounts with your brother.
