    All Your Character Names: Laestenth (Warrior I believe). Maybe one more character.
    Last thing you did: Just check things out.
    Why do you think you got banned?: No idea.
    Ban message when attempting to log in: This is an ID that has been deleted or blocked from connection.

    I made this account years ago and log in every now and then because I'm curious. Sometimes I'll vote to get that nx. I haven't really stayed on for more than few minutes.

    Please one IGN for each account that you (the person) owns.

    I only own one account. I'm pretty sure my character name is Laestenth.

    Sorry for the delay. You were permanently banned for major vote abuse.

    May I ask when this was? And by major vote abuse do you mean voting on different accounts?

    After reading the rules more it seems this was due to a friend playing at my place several times and voting while connected to the same internet? As I mentioned, I don't have any other accounts. When I started this game, friends came over often to play and over the years I've had friends come over now and then to play. If this is the case, may I get a second chance?

    When did they last play at your place? Do they still play?

    He comes over often to hangout and play games. Probably several times over the last few months. He did mention that he played a bit the last few times he came over.

    You were voting on both Laestenth and BoisRed back in 2021, and our admins have already determined that this was enough to be considered major vote abuse. Your appeal is denied.

    I'm genuinely confused. Are those 2 of my igns linked to the same account? Since I seldom played I can't remember. You're saying that I voted on 2 different igns of the same account back in 2021? Is there really not a second chance that can be given?

    If that's the case, I genuinely don't remember and I understand my ignorance isn't an excuse but I'd like to ask once more if you can reconsider giving me another chance. Thanks either way.

    Those characters are on different accounts. And sorry, but we do not give second chances. You will need to find somewhere else to play.

    But as I mentioned, Laestenth is the only account I personally played on. I did mention that my friend came over to play often but I don't how many accounts he had or if he was voting. I don't even remember how many igns I had on my account. So in conclusion you believe that I am lying?

    I've read other ban appeals and it seems second chances were given. In this case, I don't think it's fair to say that I voted on multiple accounts. Rather, I'm guilty of ignorantly allowing my friend to vote while at my place?

    You may have misunderstood the other Ban Appeals

    There are no second chances given to permanent bans such as [Major Vote Abuse], there's only [Minor Vote Abuse] - 14 days ban and [Major Vote Abuse] - permanent ban
