That isn't, of course, this account (my main account), but the account in question, [Removed], was only ever active for a month or so. I created it to do RAF with a friend in early October of '08 and bought the battlechest to activate it past the 10 day trial. I'm fairly sure that it became frozen in November of '08 because I never paid for more time past the free 30 days from purchasing the game.
I leveled a troll hunter, Madera on Kil'jaeden, with the RAF stuff to the mid-40s, but that's about it. I know I didn't "exploit the economy", unless selling herbs to buy a mount in against the TOS :p. I also tried to transfer a character off of this account, Hylian of Kil'jaeden (currently deleted), to [Removed]during the character transfer fiasco in October, so that transfer was never finalized. I'm not sure if that might have anything to do with it.
I don't really care about the account since I don't use it anymore, but I'm really at a loss for why it got banned after 6 months of being frozen, let alone the reasoning behind it.
Maybe you guys got the wrong guy? If not, some further explanation would be greatly appreciated.
