    Nope I do not recall making these ever. I started playing in 2022 and my first character created was SummonShade.

    Okay, I'm going to get an admin to take a look. Please wait patiently for their response.

    NewMagicEra was definitely created by the same person that made summonshade (back in mid 2015)

    I believe there is a high chance I’m being mistaken for one of my brother’s accounts that he has made over the past 9-10 years. I specifically had not started playing this game until 2022. However, I know that my brother has been playing this server on and off since near the beginning of this server. Furthermore, he has likely created over 20 accounts during this time since he has continued to hack on several accounts and has also been caught ban evading many times.


    You can find evidence of this by looking at the voting whitelist application I had created in 2022 when I first began playing the game. If I as an individual had played this game earlier, I would have created this application long ago alongside my brother. Instead, in 2022 I created my first character “SummonShade” while my brother started a new character by the name “Soloest” which again was caught for hacking and was eventually banned. He has since made many accounts that have been caught for hacking and ban evading which I am sure you will be able to find records of. During these past two years you can see that I have always been playing in a legit way and have not engaged in illegal activities on any of my characters as I have always wished to play the game fairly.


    As I mentioned earlier, over the past 9-10 years my brother was playing, he was caught hacking many times. During this time he has created dozens of emails, accounts and characters similarly to how he has approached the game since restarting in 2022. He has mentioned that since he had created so many emails in a short amount of time he was having difficulty creating more so he likely used my email to create another account (back when I had not shown interest in playing Royals). My brother and I have grown up playing games where we would play on the same character or would play on each other’s characters such as in GMS, RuneScape, Conquer Online etc., which is why he is familiar with account IDs that I generally create to play video games. Sometime prior to 2022 he had created an account with an ID which I believe is likely similar to the one I am using today which I assume has flagged me as being the individual that had played on the IGNS “NewMagicEra” or “TheMagicEra”.


    I hope that the staff can see the similarities between the illegal behaviour likely performed on the IGNS “NewMagicEra” and “TheMagicEra” with the IGNS that my brother has created over the years that are linked to “Soloest.” If the staff have any questions or need more information please let me know. Thank you.

    the account for NewMagicEra shares the same username (+ an x), the same pin, same email, same birthday as your SummonShade account where the other accounts your brother created at that time did not share similar username, email and birthday to NewMagicEra.

    As mentioned earlier, my brother and I have grown up playing on each other's accounts in many games. GMS being one of them, he is familiar with the IDs, passwords and pins I have used since my childhood. When creating new accounts he does not use the same ID password pin or email. When using my email it made sense for him to use new information and a new identity which would be different yet easy for him to remember by using my information. My personal email is not the only one he has used. I can send you a private message on more private details that may help as well. If you need more information please feel free to ask. Thank you very much for your time.

    Can I ask why my appeal is being discarded so quickly? I spent over 2 years playing this game completely legitly and have grinded and worked hard for my accounts. You can see that I created a voting whitelist application as soon as I as an individual began playing this game. You can see that I have done nothing illegal in the time I have played this game. Yes you keep stating that the account information from that time is the same or similar and I am explaining to you why that is the case yet it seems like you don’t want to hear it or try to understand the situation. You have evidence that there is literally a person in my household that has hacked for 10 years making new accounts over and over with different IDs, passwords, pins and birthdays. Many of these accounts are linked to emails of other family members living at my house as well. The creation of this account is unrelated to me as an individual and you can clearly link the behaviour on the IGNs you mention to likely be the EXACT same as the dozens of characters you have banned of my brother’s in the past. Furthermore, my brother has DMed you and admitted that he had created this account under my name and provided additional information as well to prove this.


    I know you have many ban appeals to look through. But I don’t think it is fair to ban someone in this manner. It feels really disrespectful to the time and energy I have given to the server to just be thrown away because it seems like staff just want to get another ban appeal out of the way and move on. All that I have asked is for the staff to look at my case carefully and not textbook ban me for things that I am trying to prove I have not done. I was not even told the exact reason for my ban, was not asked any meaningful questions and I seem to have been ignored on information I have spent trying to recover from almost a decade ago to help for assistance in this case (I sent a DM). It is sad to see that my appeal was just turned to closed without reasonable effort (for clarity: my appeal was marked closed on January 6 before I had even responded on that date.) I am asking that you give me the benefit of the doubt here based on the details I have given and the behaviour I have shown since playing this game and not punish me for the behaviour of another individual in my household.

    Hi, about a month ago my brother had dmed you and gave you evidence/information to further help in this case. Can I get an update on the situation? Again, please feel free to ask any questions.

    I wanted to mention that my thread was reopened for further investigation so it lost the "awaiting admin action" flag. I believe this may be the reason for why my thread has not been looked at in the past few months.

    Even if we were to believe your story (it sounds rather farfetched, to be perfectly honest), then your actions have violated our account sharing rule. See the part I have underlined in magenta.

    You created the account with SummonShade using credentials that were already known to your brother. This is considered indirect sharing of account information. In this case, your sharing of account information has made it impossible for us to determine whether or not you are telling the truth without our admins having to waste considerable amounts of time investigating. As you were ultimately responsible for your own account security, you will remain permanently banned.

    You're mistaken on this being an incident of account sharing. My brother never asked and was never aware of the email, ID or password that I used for my SummonShade account or any account that I as an individual created. He has never logged into it either and you will not find any information of him doing so. You're banning me because 10 years ago he created an account using information that I had used in video games that I grew up playing alongside him and he decided to hack on that account similarly to the dozens of other accounts he's created and hacked on in the past decade. The actions performed on that account from 10 years ago has nothing to do with me as an individual since I never played this game before 2021. Again, I have done nothing but play this game fairly since 2021 and you can see that in my gameplay. Yet, I am being punished because my brother has an insane desire to hack in this game for over a decade. Why am I being punished when I have presented so much evidence through these posts, through dms and dms from my brother to Tim that prove that the ban from 2015 is unrelated to me? With a simple investigation you can find the dozens of accounts related to hacking done by my brother using different aliases. This is not one of those cases where a player just blindly lies about their family member being involved in their ban with no evidence to back it up. If you find that it's impossible to determine the truth, why are you willing to potentially ban an innocent player from the game? If the admins are unwilling to spend time investigating the information I have spent so much time gathering to prove my case then it is in no way fair to have me banned. I should be given the benefit of the doubt based on the circumstances and information provided related to the case. In your own quote it also says “Please be aware that, in some cases as per discretion of Staff, we reserve the right to respond with a less harsh punishment. “ I believe this is a case where a less harsh punishment definitely needs to be considered, otherwise you are just outright banning an innocent player.

    You used shared credentials (i.e. that were known by another person) to create your account that contained SummonShade. This was at your own risk, and you are now facing the consequences of that. We have reviewed all of the evidence you submitted, and made our decision. We do not consider it reasonable to respond with a less harsh punishment in this case. You will remain permanently banned.

    Again, I did not share my details and my brother did not know which credentials I used for SummonShade and my account was never used by anyone but me. Please tell me how this is an account sharing offense.

    As was explained already, you used account details that were known by another person (and so they had created a previous account using those same known details), and that has made it impossible to know whether or not your (again, rather farfetched) story is true.

    I will be locking this thread now, as the decision has been made, and we are now going around in circles.
