    Hello,

    You have been banned for Ban Evasion:

    Ban Evasion - The act of circumventing a ban that exists on a player through the use of any means with the intent to, or accomplishing, access of the game on any account. Punishment: Identical to the consequence of which the player attempts to, or already has, circumvented.

    You were previously permanently banned, and your new accounts have now been permanently banned as well. Once you receive a permanent ban, you cannot start with new accounts. A permanent ban applies to you, as a person. You cannot play on this server again.

    Hey Stephen,

    I think the misunderstanding comes from my brother being banned from this server a couple years ago. We're Korean and it is pretty common for Koreans to have the same first syllable of the name (we both go by the same name...)
    I can provide government IDs in a private message to the staff to prove that we are indeed different people if that would help my case.

    we deem it highly unlikely that after a permanent ban for real world trade, someone's brother would return 2 years later under the same name, similar emails. contacting the same friends, playing with the same playing style, having the same account IDs (differing a number). We believe you to be the same person as the one that was banned in 2021

    Hi Tim,

    As I mentioned in my support ticket and the comment above, our names are not the same. They are only same in the sense that the first syllable is the same. We go by this as our American names as can be shown in any type of documentation. This can even be seen when I first made my account with the username (can send in dm, but it’s in the original support ticket) years ago. Another instance that further shows this, is the login ID I requested to change to. It includes the second half of my first name that DIFFERS from my brother. Why would I ask you to change my ID to this if we were the same person? You would see that we were playing from the same house and at the time, but not the same computer.

    Our emails are not similar either, the only thing that would be similar in our emails is the use of the first syllable of the name. Please let me know where I can send the ID/name to you because it may not be something you are used to seeing if you are not familiar with Korean names.

    There are only 1/2 friends in game I’ve reached out to that would be a mutual friend with my brother. One being a real life friend, who if you see the day before I got banned was even talking to me about playing with my brother and me… please check the chat logs on this

    The other being someone I met through my brother while playing another server together with him.

    Play styles are completely different. He has told me he primarily did bosses and had no mules meanwhile I’ve done maybe 3 horntails max to even reach 191. I farm on multiple mages and have every buff mule available. In fact, I would say our play styles are complete opposites due to the fact he is not a multimage farmer.

    The login ID name change was requested because I found out that it was similar to my brothers for my MULES. We played servers that allow shared accounts and I have mentioned this to you previously. It was also shared with many people which is why I asked you if I could change it due to security reasons that I have outlined even before this ban in the initial request.

    Please let me know where I can send my full name and my brothers with ID proof as you will see any email/login will correlate with my name more than his in full context.
