    Ban message when attempting to log in: This is an ID that has been deleted or blocked from connection
    What GM banned you (optional): -

    so I read the terms & conditions on this page
    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/mapleroyals-game-terms-conditions.86769/

    "Vote Abuse - The act of attempting to, or successfully, bypassing the restrictions of voting no more than once per day (UTC)" i didnt get that the vote was once per day no matter how many accounts you have ~f4

    Hello,

    You are correct. You have been banned for vote abuse.

    Punishment: Permanent ban.

    Vote Abuse - The act of attempting to, or successfully, bypassing the restrictions of voting no more than once per 24 hours. Please be aware that, in cases of severe abuse as per discretion of Staff, we reserve the right to respond with a permanent ban regardless of if it is your first offense.

    You voted on more than one of your accounts every 24 hours. That gave you a significant advantage over every other player on this Server who follows the rules. The Admins deemed the number of times you extra voted was Major, and have given you a permanent ban for your actions.

    That's a bummer.. I accept the decision of the admins as i didn't fully read the t&c (thought i could vote one time a day on each account, not one time a day regardless of how many accounts i may have), but i think a permanent ban is far too drastic for vote-abusing.
    Maybe a temporal ban according to the times someone has voted like, i voted 3 times every day for 30 days, so that should carry a 60-day ban for those 2 extra votes per day. A possible calculation for you guys to make since you can check how many times someone votes.

    It's just my opinion, and i hope you can change that in the future.

    Although short, my time on this server was so nice and i appreciate that very much and thank you all for it. Best wishes~ :tobenaww:

    PD: Just for the lols (or sobs? :admincry:) how many times did i extra voted? ~f12

    I'm sorry it had to end this way. But Royals has that clause about voting no more once per 24-hours, no matter how many accounts you have, in multiple places for players to see, including in red, right on the voting page.

    The Admins do not share how many votes are considered Minor vs. Major Abuse. They will also not reveal how many times someone extra voted, because that knowledge will lead others to vote just under that threshold to get the extra NX, but not get in trouble.

    We wish you well in your future endeavors.

    Yup, my bad. Didn't do it knowingly though.

    Yeah that makes sense..

    Well, hope that in the future the admins consider my idea to change the permanent ban for vote abuse so one day i may be able to play this game again.

    Thanks again!

    I was just wondering if I could get my IP un-banned
    I got banned almost a year ago for vote-abusing, did it unknowingly though.
    Don't care about my accounts, characters, items, etc, just wanna play some royals again :(
