unbanned, by the light of elune!
Banned for AV losing my account details.
That is really, really rich. I mean seriously. I just put down for a 6 month subscription, meanwhile AV makes changes to the account management, loosing my details in the process.
OK, so I recover my details for that account, but oh, look. My other account has gone completely. It is no longer registered to my email address, it is no longer of the same password. AV will not reply to my emails because they wont discuss accounts on a diferent email.
And now, to top it off, my main account just got banned because I tried to make a new account so I could post on the forums to ask for help.
WHAT THE HELL. DO AV REALLY THINK THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS?
I love this game, but I wont give my money to criminals.

^^^^ LEAVING OP IN PLACE FOR CLARITY ^^^^
So I got an email, finally. Maybe it was all the stink coming from here, IDK. But they asked for some proof the account was mine, so I explained how I've bought 4 accounts for friends, gave them the order, name etc, and they asked me for an email to associate the account to. I have now been able to reset the missing password and am about to log on.
My main account has been unbanned in the process. No word as to why! They sugest that I was hacked but this would be the 1st time in over 10years of having the internet ive ever been hacked in any regard whatsoever..and it was veeerrry well timed with the management change over.
I'm down a few days playtime but I can cope with that...if nothing is missing lol!
I'm not allowed on the forums tho, which makes me sad.
Well atleast its resolved now, even if things took a very bizzare turn to get there.

Did they tell anyone they were changing their account management system?
You said you recovered the details for the account. Would that happen to be the main account that you said was banned?
Also, what are you planning to do next?
{ Mod Edit }
My main account has been banned without any word why. Days. DAYS after putting on a 6month sub.
I cannot get into my second account, not acct managem,ent or anything. No replies. up til last night GMs would not reply to a ticket, either from me or a friend.
I didnt pay 60eu to look at a login screen. It is very sad but I guess at the end of the day I will call my bank and get it back. This is just fucking pathetic. And, yes, they gave about 3hours notice that the management system was changing.
>.<

What did the GM say when they answered your ticket?
I doubt they would change your e-mail and password, they would simply ban it if they wanted to stop you using it, I think whats more likly is that your account got hacked, the hacker changed your e-mail address. this would require the hacker to have hacked your home PC as well.
Sorry I could have worded that better: up until log off last night we had no answer. Not even a 'we're looking into this'

No no, Im not saying they changed it deliberately. When they changed over their system, for whatever reason. a bug, a glitch, faulty bat script, who cares, my 1st account password reset back to its original, 1 friends account generated a new one which he had to reset, and the 3rd is no longer associated with the email it was signed up for. Nor does the password work.
As far as we know, the missing account is not banned, we have had no email to say so, nor any email change confirmation, or password reset email. Nada.
Its also pretty conincidental that we happened to haev all got hacked on the very moment of management change over, no?

You may want to re-title your thread. I know your angry, but you don't wanna get a ban from this site as well. I hope everything works out for ya.
Hope you get your money back this is the worst thing iv heard AV doing for abit. If i where you wait for MO like me cant truest AV.
Sounds exactly like the way AV works. They are criminals and would face fines and prosecution if they did the same thing in the US. My friend was banned over a billing error on their side, after attempting multiple fraudulent charges on his card a week after canceling his acct. Upon multiple appeals of the ban, they finally sent an email saying he was banned for 3rd party hacks while his acct was already banned and unplayable... lol. They also requested he update his billing information on his banned account so they could charge it. AV is scum and are better con artists then they are game developers. Glad to see they are still sticking to what they do best, scamming the very few people left that play their game.
Brilliant, its really your fault for giving them money to begin with you should have seen the signs.
I had decided they were criminals the moment they violated the privacy of the Eurogamer reviewer, stating exactly how long he played the game and what he did while logged on. My suspicions were reaffirmed when they suddenly changed their ToS to 'legitimately' have their US subscribers buy the game again for the new regional server (contrary to their initial promise, that is, which led gamers to buy the game). Also, I would consider as bordering criminal the fact that they kept extremely inaccurate game features on their website, knowing that said features had not been implemented yet, only to lure buyers under false pretense. This just adds to the pile of dung AV really is.
If only sony would pull a vanguard on this one.

I dont think Sony will pickup this at any point VG was a special case because of Brad, not even Smedley will deal with this scam artist Tasos. And there is the problem of how much they are in debt, VG ran out of funds, according to various sources AV is in serious debt with loans made to cover the game costs, any deal with AV would end up with Sony having to pay for those loans making the turnover for the investment happen very late or it may never happen if the game suddently blow ups at the hands of Sony.
yeh I was hoping for more of the fire everyone side. How can a game that is so fundamentally good be made by such a tragic bunch of people.

Okay then...
I'd be more angry with them if I couldn't get my money back...
Playing: World Of Warcraft
Resting From: Nothing
Retired: EQ2, CoH, Tabula Rasa, SWG, Warhammer, AoC
Waiting For: SWTOR, APB
Love(d): Tabula Rasa, SWG, World Of Warcraft, Age of Conan
If I were you:
1st. Ask your bank how much time you have to ask for a charge back.
2nd. Try to solve the problems with AV first.
3rd. If you timer limit comes and the problem is not resolve, ask your bank for a charge back.
Im not friend of charge backs but in this case, with a full 6 months over the table unusued, its what I will surely do.
Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*
mm what about paypal, do you think they will co-operate? or just get my bank to get it back and let paypal deal with AV lol. or is that why they added paypal support
to stop such actions

Paypal will work if you used it I would probaly go with them first and if you do not like what the out come is then you can do the charge back I do not know the diffrence in speed of handleing a charge back between the bank and a charge card but depending on the card and bank a charge back can take months to resolve payplay I think is withen 30 days or so I think.
If it had been made by none niche company, it would had been an other wow, but too bad for you, you should try to get your money back and if you still want to play DF so hard, try to spend the money you just got back again to play it.
Currently, you only got darkfall and next one is mortal online. Near those game is fallen earth, but an other game for carebears so its a no for me. That style of gameplay is not what rich companies do so dont diss those tragic bunch of people because game like those are really really rare and only the devs who want something different and want to take their chance do those kind of games.

Just a bump to note that everything has just been reset, my main unbanned and accounts reassociated with the correct emails. I am banned from the forums tho and cant work out why, the forums wont let me read my ban message because im banned (LOL)
My op has a few more details as to what went down. I'm torn between what to do! I'm going to let my 2nd acc sub run out for sure, but 6months is a big waste and while I do dislike AV, its a shame to let that get in the way of an essentialy great game.
Hmm procrastination GO!

You really have to think this over??
Man I really feel for you if that is true since you have lost all touch with reality.
They are actually keeping their word on the whole NA transfer not costing anything and allowing you to have 1 account for both servers. So you are wrong about that.
OP: Of course it got solved. It had nothing to do with that thread, but more to do with the fact that it takes time to do anything. What likely happened is when they changed their account managment system, a hole for hackers was opened up and your account got jacked that way.
