When did Norway become a banned region to play from?
I went to log in and my alt account is banned (not going to log main incase same thing happens). I went to change password and answered all my questions as I did the last time I changed but put my IP and then account was banned today.
I even sent them a ticket back in March to say I was moving to Norway but seems the region is IP banned.

As far as I know, Norway isn't a banned region, the support page doesn't list it either.
Maybe you're banned because you logged in from one place first and then in Norway, that can happen.
Either way, you'll have to keep kicking support, or either maybe @thenamesdomino, @orinj, @arspaulina#4310 can look into it, since you did send a ticket way back in march.
And support is really just a hit or miss, depending on who's handling your ticket.The only fitting image for this forum.0 -
Yeah Navi was the one handling the ticket.
I know past few months a lot of people have said Navi been handing out bans left and right and not being professional about complaints etc from all the SS and conversations they've been posting but I didnt think answering recovery questions 100% and mentioning a past ticket explaining my move was cause for ban. Thats why I wondered if it was just the new region logging from (even though ive been here and playing for 3 months already)

The system tracks logins and locations. A script or bot can detect unusual logins and lock player accounts.
This would be my guess. Ur not using a vpn or proxy or that would lock it out as well.
Login your main may answer a few things but that's your call. Deal with support for now just keep asking.
Odd really but I'm sure their is a reason.
Thanks.0 -
Yeah i've been playing my main daily since the day I moved here in June. Just forgot my alts email password so sent a support to change it. Tried to check ticket today and its banned. not just the character but the whole thing so can't even log in to see a reason why..IeIantos - GoldDigrz0

As Hero said, there is a possibility that at some point you connected to the server through a proxy or vpn.
you should try to verify if your internet connection goes through a proxy. You can google proxy test or something like that and should be able to know.
If this is the case you can't play pwi through a proxy, vpn or those programs that are used to lower your ping.
Also sometimes companies, universities and public institutions use proxy in their network.
Another possible cause is that when you changed your password, some sort automated system made some kind of security check to verify that your account has not been stolen, sold, shared, etc. And when said system noticed that someone from another region was trying to change the password of that account, it just banned it.
The reason why I think this could be your case is because many people on this game share, sell and give their accounts. Some others get their accounts stolen and they don't get banned unless someone reports them. So I don't think that the server is constantly checking IP and banning them for it. If that was the case, alf server would be banned by now.
Another thing:
If you can't contact support from arc due being banned, you may try to contact them directly by sending them a mail from your original email (the one from your main acc.) and trying to explain what happened.
One of the mods, sylenthunder used to have PWE support mail on his signature, have not seen any recent post from him so not sure if he is active but on this same forum but on the Technical Support Zone section there are a lot of threads and posts made by him, so there you may find the support mail.0 -
kind of late to mention this, but before arspaulina comes in and closes this thread, discussing bans is against forum rules0

Seems more like a grey area about discussing bans. But regarding the OP, he has a legit question about if norway is a banned region or not.
So that's hardly worth locking the thread for.The only fitting image for this forum.0 -

Im not discussing a ban, was asking about the country as been playing every day for 3 months then play my alt one day, go to log it the next and banned after requesting a new email change. Only thing different is the IP being from the US > Norway.
I have sent them a ticket from this account but still no reply as of yet.IeIantos - GoldDigrz0 -
Hmmm that's definitely a weird one. So you used to log in from the US then moved and then got banned? No promises but I can see if I can pass it along and see what they can pull up at the very least in regards to "Is Norway a banned country?" In the future though, if you're planning a huge move like that, contact support and make sure you let them know so they don't have you banned for sudden skips in IP address.⋆Have a question? Feel free to shoot me an ask!⋆0

I went from US to UK to Norway. I told them back in march that was the plan as I knew the risk if i didnt tell them. They knew already but the ticket i sent had been closed and removed.IeIantos - GoldDigrz0

Been here 3 months playing with no problems. Was only when I went to change the email on the barb that it became banned.IeIantos - GoldDigrz0

Just to add on this, is there an email address we can use to directly contact customer support? In @milkins case, they have no way to check up on their ticket or start a ticket to get the issue resolved, because the website is not allowing them to log in. In case the above happens to someone else, so others will know how to direct them.0 -
