So now NCSoft unbans previously banned players

General Discussion Started Last reply 59 posts
Yes, I mean those, who got banned before implementing rule of one-week and two-week bans.
What's your opinion about this? Good/bad?
disapprove (c) EULA
Another great **** move from NCSoft.

What's next? Charge us a 5$ fee every time we log into the game? Merge PTS, Naia and Chronos into one server? Implement 1 character per account (not 1 per server) limit? 1 game client per IP?

What other brilliant move will you make next time NCSoft?

You un-ban banned players that botted their ***** off and clearly violated the EULA, but when it comes to sorting out the mess you created with the master account you basically tell us to bend over.
u sure that they do this ?

instead of unbanning well known bots and rmt (and still a ton high lvl arround),
they should have keep the servers clean the PAST 5-6 years.

alot REAL players and friends would be still arround and not quitted,
because l2 is still the best mmo arround :)

so its not what i like to see, tbh...

better get fresh new people than this garbage.


edit.: and if they really do .. im allowed to bot my xxx off now ? ;)
I refuse to believe unless you can give solid proof.
WTB unban on my account - stolen and than banned by NC :] Who knows for what...


And what about banned CL rights transfer? GM told me that this is impossible...and yet it is happening...xF
LoL? LF Some proof also if this is true... lol NC Soft just Lol...

If it's true then it's not the 1st time they have done it and it will certainly not be the last time. They think with their pockets and not with the thing between their ears (no not their nose).
Honestly, seeing how the game is dead atm I think it can be a "good" move to get back old players. The rules have changed since few months (temporary ban) so why not applying them to old players ?

(and i have some gear to sell to them lol)
I feel as though i should comment on this as i have seen screens that show what the OP is talking about, but i would probably loose my forum acc for posting it. I heard Sace went on a rampage yesterday when someone posted info about this.

Because those botters hasn't done anything good for the game and they will keep playing the game like they always has. Botting, RMT, Radar, Control you name it and they will use it, not to mention that they haven't earned their levels, adena or equipment. Keep that trash out of the game.

If they want to bring back old players then they need to do a free play week where they activate all accounts that aren't banned for a week.

They unbanned everyone???
Dunno, from my point of view it's still a rumor until we get an official statement.
NCSoft will deny it even if it's true or not. They don't want the few legit people that are left to pack the bags and leave.

Fool topic.
Then how would the banned people know they can come back lol.
I refuse to believe unless you can give solid proof.

I would have to copy stuff from my clan forum, which I can't really do.
What kind of "solid proof" you want anyway?
You don't have to, you can just explain how pp ended to get banned accounts back (petition ? what was the GM answer ? etc...).

I'm not sure, if board administrators will not rage about this... but I'll take risk, hope you appreciate :P

:((((((((((((((((



ok and what the players that havent bot/ebayed get ?

legit's event with 30 billions in wharehouse of each 80+toon that has never been banned?i'm sorry,flowers and cakes wont do anything after this.
Nice.

Now make everyone that is 80+, 85... and all subs 80.

Give also 5/5 epics to everyone and 99b adena.

Welcome to private servers....

If a guy I know.. gets his accounts back.. he will have around 300b to sell to RMT... nice...
The lack of comment from Sace, Moxie or Will pretty much confirms that they are allowing the practice, just not advertising it. Now the cat is out of the bag and they are trying to figure out how to respond to a potential flood of unbanning petitions. If you had a banned account(s) it would be foolish to not send in a petition at this point.
there's no NC Soft comments yet cause they're still sleeping.. wait until they had their first cup of coffee and start cleaning this topic up..

having said that LF Clan Invite Unforgiven :P
Totally dissaprove unbans from cheaters, they really need to focus on another way to get more people ingame like :

ADVERTISING

When are u's gonan start advertising on TV / radio / magazines / billboards
Games are going to become a new type of games now, evolutive games and already called generational games, where u start to game when u'r young and then u'r kids follow and their kids etc etc..

Time to hop on the media circuit cuz whitout it annything u do is DOOMED to FAIL.
oh the one with JeffPrick nick seems to really becoming a legit player (notice the sarcasm in my voice... ) lol
I bet that the 1st thing that NCSoft will do when they start to work is to delete or lock this topic and act like it has never happened.
just like yesterday in the other topic.. i spend about half hour searching the other one to see if it have new messages... :D but magically the topic disappeared

right
yesterday thread about that got deleted in 20 min
Here is NCSoft's vision:
"There are no bots in Lineage2, only highly synchronized people that doesn't require sleep for months and can repeat the same task over and over again down to the millisecond and also always move along the exact same X,Y,Z path ways."
I can confirm that baned ppl are back. Yesterday was a shout in town that ..... got restored. Saw him lil later sitting in Aden. Also talked with a old friend and he told me that this char is back.
Another sad step from NC.... :mad:
!WTB Baium 100kk and Antharas 500kk from banned clan leaders.

It's craptastic that not only did they get unbanned, but their accounts, warehouse and clan warehouses didn't get a complete items wipe.

well if they will unbann old bots but they delete all their items will be ok for me
other way is just an oportunity for them to get a lot of money from rmt
.... no comment. But I use the downtime to inform me in the net about other mmorpg's.
i think its agood thing....ppl do wish to play this great game again....."once bitten, twice shy" as the saying goes.

perma banned account reactivated is unlikely to bot again.

perma banned account = new account = bot new account up.
and so the cycle goes on...
Hahaha! Majority of those who got banned will try to get accounts back just to cash out >< Imagine how many people will try to sell long ago lost boss jewel sets, gears, adenas and even unbanned high lvl accounts for real money. Not that they care to play game again (very few might though), it's about thousands of $$ just waiting to be taken.
Seriously... if NC going to do this, they better make sure equipment on unbanned accounts aren't tradable so people who actually wants to come back to l2 could play, those who just cash out - QQ. Or something else to prevent RMT...

Good Game.
it's the biggest mistake of nc soft imo.

+1
yeah, +1 here too.
When threads get the axe do we lose post count from post in that thread?
We will see soon(tm)
I guess this thread will be deleted again, but I kept a pdf version if anyone would like to get it :)
Lets re-create this thread every time they delete it until someone at NCSoft finally gets it that screwing over their customers over and over again is not the way to do it.

I guess a lot of trial accounts will be created if you do this :D
So, which big clan got his leader back ? X I guess ?
I will be waiting solid confirmation on this issues and some Nc Staff feedback

McLaren aka the leader of X got banned for RMT. He was selling clan adena from his alt but was dumb and had same e-mail on both accounts. RMT violators get unban too?

They can ban me from the forums, but that won't stop me from posting my and others opinions for the L2 community to see.
Oh and if NCSoft can un-ban the ones that got perma banned for botting, RMT and other stuff that violates the EULA then they surely can give me my access back to an account that a friend gave me 4-5 years ago when he quit playing L2.

HAHAHA...keep w8ing...for life-time mate :] Good luck with that...

Well done NCSoft, violating your own EULA by un-banning them.
Cool story... I was able to use my box account without any NC permission...and none Divine Hammer hits me.

I don't know. I'm getting automated responses with copy&paste of the EULA after asking to get my account back and no response when I copy&pasted every point in the EULA and TOS that they are violating by un-banning all those accounts.

I guess I need to start to bot and start up my own RMT company to get any VIP support that they are currently giving to the ex-perma banned accounts.

I hear ye...
Its the hidden update made yesterday!

Lineage 2 - The revival of the Machines, upgrade now!!!


Q/A

Q: I got my account banned 2 years ago is there anything I can do?

A: For banned accounts before last November, 10 please contact support.


Q: I was running 2 bot train parties long ago, we all got banned how can we return?

A: If you account is closed and your bot train accounts are banned before November, 10 please mail the account details to our support team and within 24 hours you can log in your accounts, also you can take the benefit from the warehouses NPC and get a full welcome back shadow bonus pack.


Q: I was banned for RMT issues and got my account back, but that can still be a ban reason right?

A: Do all RMT out of the game, we have many workers caring about banned accounts daily, we also are working hard to screw all market prices and every player economy to give some advantage to the banned accounts players.
Until there is an official response about this topic, this thread is being locked as it is getting out of hand. Other threads made about this topic will be removed.
Update: Rest assured that we are taking this matter very seriously and we recognized that we do owe you an explanation. Currently we are discussing this matter intensively. We are working on preparing an explanation for all players as to why this is happening, and what will and will not happen moving forward. I hope to have more for you about this next week.
