    Why do you think you got banned?: I dont really even know why i got banned, because this morning i played on my character after X amount of months away at school and coming back into royals later on again, i got perma banned? Im really hoping this is a mistake of some sorts because never have i ever tried to vote abuse in my life or even hack for any matter at that. hoping the issue gets resolved easily! thanks<3

    You did something rather sneaky, didn't you? Thought we wouldn't check? Well, you were right - until today, when somebody decided to check, and discovered you voted 108 times somewhere where you weren't supposed to, thus gaining yourself an illicit 432K NX.

    Hmm..
    I didnt think this would be relevant to the ban but someone hacked my account recently. Alot of pretty good equips as well as mesos are missing but unfortunately i have no evidence of this. (this is why i thought it would be irrelevant.) I visited yesterday only to found out my stuff was missing. Ive only been playing more often recently because of an old friend. May i please know the what the IP is for the 108 times you claim i voted for? thank you.

    It's the same IP you've been voting from since last July.

    Oh since july? Well in that case, it is because my web browser is always configured to use a VPN.

    Which still means you were the one voting all this time from somewhere you weren't supposed to be...

    Only because kat said it was my ip i was voting with since july. is voting with a VPN not allowed? I honestly found no harm in doing so and never meant to cause any :o I had no knowledge of that being bannable if that was the case. I will stop using my vpn from now on if i can be given a second chance. thanks again!

    This has nothing to do with whether or not you use a VPN and everything to do with the fact that you've been reguarly helping yourself to 2 lots of NX per day on your account for much of the last 6 months. Not only that, but the way you did it was extremely underhanded and completely unacceptable.

    How is that even possible for someone to vote twice a day? The system does not even let you physically vote twice using the same IP, which i've been using. Now i dont know if this could be a possibility but, by any chance, could the person who hacked me be trying to use my account to vote abuse and give themselves NX? It ties in with my statement from before; being that i was hacked upon returning to royals as of yesterday. They could've made it as the IP i was using?

    I don't think I really need to explain to you what you did, because you were doing it up until when we banned you, so there is no way you can't know what you did. We have, however, changed things so that nobody else will be able to gain NX in this manner.

    There is evidence of a probable break in to your account on the 28th Dec last year, but there was no change to your voting IP and behaviour .
