Accidentally posted in Technical Support so just moving it over for you.

I was on my shaman few minutes ago and got disconnected. Tried logging back in and it tells me I'm banned. Haven't received any email to tell me why. I don't troll trade, I don't have huge amounts of gold and I've talked to nobody since logging in today on WoW.

I just want to know why I was banned.

The only thing I can see is that I live in NZ but am on uni holiday in Australia at the moment and took my laptop with me, and I use Lowerping.

My shaman is Zelly.

Edit: just for clarification, my shaman is on my other account.

Edit: just received email

Account Name: *delelted*

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for ""real-world"" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.

I don't buy gold, never have, never will. My boyfriend traded me 5k gold to my alt so we could both get epic flying for our alts while we level in Northrend.

This isn't related to the AH, Zeelee.

You will want to email Account Administration at [email protected] and ask this be reviewed.
