Is it agains rules to have Trial accaunt?

He wants to plat the game and advertise at the same time

Perhaps someone saw a low level toon standing around doing nothing and assumed they were a bot, advertiser or up to no good.

Perhaps they should stand in a cellar or bedroom of an Inn or somewhere else out of the way.
Or be stealthed.

If they aren’t actually posting in the Trade channel then the only way someone would know you’re there is to see a toon standing there and if it’s out in the open like beside the bank it going to get noticed.

You using a trial account to advertise.

Maybe just purchase second account and you can still achieve the same thing and make sure you boost that character to 70, as I suspect, you are being reported.

Another workaround is a get a friend or guild member/community member to advertise on your behalf, assuming they have no issue being idle.

Goldshire inn maybe

Probably not the best if you want to be out of sight.

Maybe the Inn in Mage Quarter (Slaughtered Lamb if I recall it correctly) or the one in Dwarven District (The Worried Ram if I can just make up a name to hide my lack of knowing the actual one).

We can see the murlocs over their heads. It’s what all the trade sellers do.

Never noticed this.
Is it to indicate a Trial account?

Yes the lock trainers are there in classic cool little place :grinning:

I am a guide, I help new players, they see a mark over my head in the open world and I see a murloc over theirs.

So these hiding murlocs are usually sellers.

Let’s for a moment ignore everything about whether the OP is guilty or not and just look at this message in isolation.

This message is a load of waffle, and it should be illegal.

I understand that it is industry practice, but regardless. It should be. They should have to tell you which section of the contract (EULA) and TOS you breached instead of just “we reserve the right to ban you at any time for any reason bye”

Would it really have been so difficult to tell the OP why he got banned? He’s completely confused, and fair enough when getting that kind of message.

At least knowing a category would help I agree.

maybe cause i didnt verifai my accaunt?
i made 3rd accaunt and when clicking link in email i did put my email and login and see msg accaunt verifai or similar
1st and 2nd only clicked link

What’s the condition for those Murloc icons? Is it just based on account age or something?

I’m just wondering if my 2 level 20 bankers have one of those.

It’s not your level, it’s the status of your account. So most of us making alts will never be a murloc unless we add a new wow account to our bnet. Or set up a separate one.

It’s something that marks new players and returning veterans. Once a player reaches level 61 and has 40 hours played they are removed from the newcomer status.

The easiest way to see is if the game puts you in newcomer chat without being a guide.

The counter point to that is that then exploiters tweak it so it doesn’t contravene section x so then the EULA has to be amended and simple GMs have to become proficient in legalese.

For wow /shrug. Their house their rules. For things like google I agree its much more impactful, you’re getting locked out of life itself in some ways if that happens.

I really, really don’t think this is a very good argument.

For one, the GM in this case would be behaving somewhat like the police, and if the police are unable to understand the “law” then there’s a good chance neither does the player - which means the player didn’t understand what they agreed to even if they had tried.

That’s not okay and, interestingly, already illegal in the EU, not that anybody seems to care. Same as those cookie warnings, the EU courts are hideously ineffective at dealing with small-scale rule breaking.

For another, if the rules do not cover the alleged activity, then it was not bannable, and the player should not be punished, even if it was disruptive. Tweak the rules and have the players agree to that one instead, notify of the change.

And finally, overall the law is doing pretty well at dealing with the very same sorts of things that can happen in WoW. In fact, the basic criminal laws in Denmark are remarkably short and WoW would probably only need 1/4th of those rules to cover anything you can possibly do. It should be rather doable.

I think, when people have sunk 15 years or more into an account, they deserve some law and order.

You can have 8 WoW accounts on 1 battle net so why did you open another one?

Sounds a bit like AI got confused

Yeah that was a bit weird, but I think what it means is that they didn’t find that anyone had hacked him and broke the rules.

No idea
But now kinda dont want to
If trial accaunt got ban everything thats is linked to batle net is banned

Bans are per license for WoW, not Bnet account
