You got perm banned for killing afks with blizzard? LOL abuse of in game bug is what they say.. LOL just perma ban ppl and don't fix shit.. server is going downnnn hill

Sorry if I am sounding impatient but can I please have a GM look into this, or reply in the very least? If you ask the GM that gave me the warning in the first place, he would tell you that I was respectful in the first place and stopped immediately to using the spell "Blizzard" on horde players in Booty Bay.

Greetings,

You have to consider 2 things:
1. Every person from the Nostalrius Staff does this in their own free time.
2. Blizzard or private server an abuse of a bug in-game is punishable with BAN.

Please consider that if the thing is fixed or not, this will not absolve you from playing correctly on this server.

Regards,
GM tigru

Tigru, I understand it is punishable with a ban but I am asking for a less harsh punishment as I was not "abusing" the bug in any way and the "bug" does not benefit me in any way. Just as I stated earlier, I stopped immediately after I was notified that it was illegal but then my brother used it in retaliation against another horde mage that "Blizzard" him in Tanaris when he was using my character to enchant his. Because I already had a warning, the GM banned my account even though he wasn't running around killing people. I understand I am responsible for whatever happens to my account but this is hardly "bug abusing" as my brother was not running around and Blizzarding every horde in Tanaris. This "bug exploit" does not hurt anyone nor benefit me in any way, but if when a GM told me to stop, I stopped immediately because I understood. However, a permanent ban for using Blizzard in a neutral area does not seem to be a justifiable ban, even if it is considered "bug exploiting."

PS. I was only asking for a GM to look at this because every GM seemed to be ignoring this post as I would post in this section and a minute later I would see a couple of GMs reply back in other posts, and it happened for days. I even PM'ed a GM and he ignored me.

Hey GM's, my cousin(Auomasil) let my other cousin use his mage for enchants but he didn't know that that character already got a 1st warning about casting the spell "Blizzard" on a horde....the horde was attacking him first also, I think this ban is too Strident and a bit harsh. I mean, It's not like it hurts them badly by killing them I mean yes they do get HK but only a bit plus It's not a far walk to their own corpses

Any GM reply?

The account was banned for the events that occurred. The owner of the account is responsible to ensure that the account isn't involved in anything that breaks the Terms of Use. Therefore it doesn't matter who played the account when the events occurred, since it was the account that was suspended, not the owner. The owner is fully able and capable of creating a new account and continue playing on Nostalrius.

You insulted the server and it's staff and now expect them to change the rules for you and unban your account?

Your account is gone kid.

@Zoey_Urbina, if you read what I said above, I said that I understand that whatever happens to my account is on me so I take full responsibility for that. However, if you read my other posts, I am stating my case that permanently banning someone for using the Blizzard bug in Tanaris/Booty Bay is way too harsh of a punishment as all I got was a first warning and then permanent ban. I was simply asking for a reduced ban as the punishment seems too severe.

@notgunnahappen, how did I insult the server and its staff? Please quote me and prove it.

The Game Master did what he was required to do according to the Terms of Use. If you have any suggestions for changes to the Terms of Use you can make a thread here.

D - Last warning.: A last warning is given before a permanent ban. This sanction is applied in case of multiple violations of the rules, or after multiple account interruptions, as well as any of the following:

Casinos;
Multiboxing;
Abuse of in-game bugs;
Any attempt to bribe a staff member;
Organized killing for farming rank and/or honor.

E - Permanent ban.: Most serious sanction. Permanent bans are rare but definitive. This sanction is applied in case of multiple violations of the rules, or after multiple account interruption, as well as any of the following:

Examples:

Hacking;
Using any botting program;
Abuse of major in-game bugs;
Possession of any item(s) obtained with illegal methods;
