EMAIL STARTS BELOW:
I would like to speak with someone about this please. I can be reached at 503-xxx-xxxx(office) or 503-xxx-xxxx(home).
There is a serious misunderstanding of my account. I know you hear this all the time, but please hear me out. There is a gaming event that I attended called PDXMMO www.pdxmmo.com (www.pdxlan.com 's sister website) These are gaming events that happen a few times a year with up to 500 people attending.
During this event (July18 - July21) there was a "wow scavenger hunt" event that I participated in. This event involved collecting certain items in game. Of these items, there was gold (ten gold to be exact), that needed to be collected. I spammed trade chat window begging for gold in hopes that I can win this scavenger hunt. I did this for just a couple of hours.... During this time, I received what looked to be an automated in game email from a GM. The email stated to check "The email address associated with this account" (at the time it was [email protected]). I no longer have access to that email account, so I could not check my email. I am assuming since I ignored the email, my account was banned.
I own two World of Warcraft accounts:
xxxxxxxxx Removed for security reasons
xxxxxxxxx Removed for security reasons
xxxxxxxx is the account in question, none of my email accounts have EVER done anything to exploit World of Warcraft, there is no history of such abuse.
I can prove to you that what I am saying is the truth. Please advise as to what I can do to get my account re-enabled.
Thank you!
