Got banned for /follow without any previous warnings

I've started a topic viewtopic.php?f=65&t=31855&p=222186&hilit=klo#p222186 but, unfortunatelly, it was closed so I couldn't describe all the details.

Yes, there was really a warning on 13 December as said, but warning was given to another character. We are 3 people and we have 3 accounts: Klopew, Theheal, Abdulaz. And on 13 December Abdulaz was really multiboxing Theheal. And after reading rules about it - he says he stopped doing this.

But on January, 13, Theheal was following Klopew (me) and I have never been told about anything like multiboxing, following etc that is allowed at retail and restricted at Nostalrius.

So my character got banned without any previous warning, and I said GM that I didn't know it and won't do it anymore.

Probably, it would be fair to ban Theheal for account sharing, but could I get my character (Klopew) back and consider this as a warning? I really wasn't going to do anything that is not allowed

If you're dumb enough to multibox with someone else's account, you deserve to get banned.

You can read what happened in a previous post.
Dont know what exactly do you mean by multiboxing, but character was on /follow while player is AFK. Really, as far as I understand rules, /follow is also not permitted (O_o)

But after many years of retail where all these are allowed, copying vanilla server with everything (including semi-working meeting-stones) and making additional restrictions - is not obvious. I didn't know anything of this. Or do everyone read Terms of Use everytime clicking a checkbox, huh?

/follow is not an issue. Even if a player suspects you of multiboxing and it's just /follow, the GM will test you to confirm. To me it just sounds like your lying through your teeth to try to squirm out of a ban. Yes I read the TOU of every emulator project I play. They tend to be the only ones who ever really enforce them. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.

Greetings,

By borrowing your friends account, you broke our Terms of Use. Therefore, you accept any responsibility that comes with that. His account was given a final warning not to multibox, and that account was caught multiboxing again. In accordance with our Terms of Use and the warnings we give, both offending accounts were permanently banned. Feel free to make a new account and respect our rules going forwards.

Regards, GM Team
