So, I discovered over the weekend that in addition to the chat ban from being ignored, the account ban for naming gold sellers you can also get your IP banned. Because, you know, we were all thinking there just needs to be at least one more way to get locked out of the game.
I have not discovered what causes this, my initial assumption was that someone had tried to hack me as the error message was "too many attempts, please try again later". I waited 4 hours still the same message, and on Champions. So then I hit the tech support boards.
Apparently even if you create a completely new account and try to log in for the first time, you cannot. You'll get this same error.
I'm now running a VPN to connect compliments of Cnet and download.com. Anyone have any idea what might have happened to get my IP banned?
I'd link to the relevant Tech support threads where you can find several other people with the same problems but for some reason I can't find that forum anymore. Grrr.
Anyway, passing along the warning and the workaround.
