    ALL Your Character Names: xPope, klept0, deydecosta, mushbean
    Last thing you did: Stopper farming
    Why do you think you got banned?: Robotic play
    Ban message when attempting to log in: ID has been deleted or blocked from connection
    What GM banned you (optional):

    I've been playing too much during vacation and now that it ended I needed time off the game for the real world. Decided (foolishly) to play the game while afk. I've read the terms and understood this a moderate offense, I would like to know if this is a 14-day ban or a perma ban as I spent too much time and made a lot of friends in this game to lose everything like that. Thank you for your attention.

    Hi mavromati,

    Unfortunately, I have some bad news. What you did does not fall under Robotic Play. You character was moving and using spells without your being there. Doing this is Macro-Botting, using a program to control your character without your interaction, and that falls under Major Abuse:

    Punishment: Permanent ban.

    Game Hacking - The act of using or benefiting from any third-party program or macro program, editing or defacing any part of the game to gain any sort of advantage over other players, or otherwise selling, advertising, distributing, or posting information related to the act.

    ]EDIT] I know this decision is not terminal, but I plead to please reconsider my case and give me a second chance after a few weeks. I can prove I learned from my mistakes and become a better community member

    Well I have this pain in my chest because I won't be seeing any of the friends I made anymore.. but I'm also happy I now get to spend more time in the real world not wasting my life in a game. From what I understood from your message @Stephen, this appeal will not grant me a second chance to be better and learn from my mistake. I'm using this post as a farewell message, for all of those that I met, thank you for the great times mapling, see you in a next life, maybe :) Shoutout to Trinity and Harbor that made me smile so many times and sorry for staining your image with my behaviour. Pope out.

    You used a program to control your character without your interaction. This is considered Game Hacking, not Robotic Play:

    Game Hacking - The act of using or benefiting from any third-party program or macro program, editing or defacing any part of the game to gain any sort of advantage over other players, or otherwise selling, advertising, distributing, or posting information related to the act.

    2. Game Hacking - You are allowed to rebind keys in a 1:1 action matter with third party software as there is no direct benefit in doing that over using the default keys. We also allow the use of controllers and remapping software for example, as long as the player can reply while playing to not be mistaken for a bot. Please be aware that scripted macro programs which control your character will be considered a game hack and subject to punishment under this rule, and not under Moderate Infraction - 5. Robotic Play.

    What you were doing does not fall under Robotic Play. Your actions fall under Hacking. Your punishment is therefore a permanent ban. I cannot say or do anything to change this outcome.

    I understand you are sorry. But you agreed to these rules when you signed up. Your appeal is denied.

    If you want to use this appeal as a farewell to your friends, you can do that. You can reply here despite it being "Closed".

    I wish you well in your future endeavors.
