Many, many, many people have gotten unbanned using this method. Some of them got unbanned from unban letters I wrote myself. Some, from Glovek. And some got them unbanned just by writing them themselves, like my guide explains.

Unfortunately, the chance of getting unbanned for third party programs is considerably lower than other reasons (namely exploitation of the economy, and others). This is why you will not see many saying "I got unbanned after botting." But, people have definitely gotten unbanned after botting.

You definitely have a chance. Just read my guide, write a good story for the one that got banned 2-3 months ago ("I quit WoW some time in June, then I found a keylogger named [insert keylogger name here] on about June 23rd, all of my email accounts got hacked, and I had yet to retrieve the password on my email that had my WoW account, I came back and realized I couldn't log into the account or email, when I got access to the email I still couldn't log in, but I found an old account closure letter in the email, and I'm assuming it had to do with when I got hacked").

Good luck!

I have a question, I had an account locked a while back. I traded it for a different account, the dude changed all my contact info and blizzard locked it. They want me to unlock it by sending in a Gov. ID. I don't have one, because the owner of the account does not exist. I used false info, because I was going to bot it up on it. I just added a 60 day time card on it. It got locked around 13 hours into the 60 days. Is there any way I can get that time card back, or get the account unlock? I don't have the original CD keys any more. Also I don't know the contact info he changed it to. This happen around 2 months ago.

I also don't rember the QA.

Which form do you have? Is it:

i have always wanted to know if warden detects if you have deleted or edited your Realmlist? question 2 are will people get banned for playing on a private server?

[Verye]

No, and no.

[Gharran]

I've read the entire thread (I know, sad right? I'm that bored), and I read something about you saying Warden detects "extra" files in the WoW directory... or something along those lines. So, I use Model Edits and MEFix, meaning the .MPQ files are in the WoW directory and so is the MEFix.exe. However, I will never use model edits for exploitation, only to make cosmetic changes.

As far as I can tell, Warden hasn't detected anything, because I haven't received even a hint of a warning. Not only that, but I've talked to GMs while I was model editing, which may or may not matter.

My question is, am I at risk of Warden detecting me even if I've received no penalty thus far? Since I am modifying WoW files, how serious of an offense are we talking? I've never been warned or reported for anything (seeing as I've never swore ingame or scammed and the like). I just wanted to know how serious a penalty I could get for this. I can live without my cosmetic changes if it means I won't get perma-banned.

I really couldn't tell you, I'm afraid. PM/IM Cypher.

Excellent post

[Scald]

I'd like to ask your opinion of whether or not I have any chance of getting either of my accounts back.

I sold my account 3 months ago, scammed it back (yeah im a terrible person) and xfered the T6 mage to a new account, leaving the druid on the original account. Now the guy I scammed didnt take this lying down and got both of these accounts banned for selling/trading

What I'm wondering is if there is any way that I can contest the ban, and what he could actually use as proof that i sold him the account?

[Verye]

Well, the proof is really the email change and the IP discrepancies.

Either way though, you certainly have a chance. Everyone has a chance. I'm a bit confused why so many people ask me "what are my chances?" I'm not the AA employee reviewing your case, so I couldn't tell you for sure what your chances are. You read my guide, you write a good email, and you hope for the best. That's all you can do.

It can never hurt to try; the worst thing they could do is say no.

Now, your case is obviously a bit different, since there are 2 accounts involved. I'll tell you right off the bat that you should not try to get both accounts back.

As for which account's behalf you should write the email on... I think your best chances are with the original account, the one with the Druid. Explain that you got hacked, and when you regained access to your email account, you noticed transfer emails saying your Mage was transfered off of the account, and you also found an account closure email. As my guide explains, give the name of a keylogger, and explain that you were hacked.

I don't think there is any chance that you'll see that Mage again, but with luck, you may be able to get the Druid's account back.

[Confucius]

I have a question sorry if this was posted earlier to lazy to read 21 pages
but can and will blizzard take legal action against you for making and hosting a private server? if so what is the chances that it will be you who is caught

[Verye]

They definitely can. It mainly depends on how big it is. If it's a very big, popular server, they may take action. The chances are pretty low, though.

I have to say Verye, you put in hell of a effort in writing all the up... +rep to you for sure!
