From what I have witnessed, Dhuum pops up. Scythe Swipe. Player Dead. Upon logout you can no longer log in on that acct. Ive never heard of being able to log back in to a smoldering avatar on the ground.
Only thing you can do is wait for a reply. If you truly have commited no offense but ArenaNet doubts you are the owner of the acct, you must prove ownership. Supply orginal activation codes from the discs or payment history in the game store or provide date/time stamped screen shots of your characters that prove you have had ownership for a significant timeframe. Years.

Thats really the best you can do, most people dont have thier product codes. It is possible to get your acct unlocked, just takes a few days of sweating. now, if you have changed all the login and pass word infos on your acct in conjuntion with informing Anet of a possible hack or compromise of the infos this will cause a lock out.

Send your ticket handler a copy of what you got in the yahoo e-mail as well as the original verify e-mail. Overwhelm them with evidence and be POLITE. Write properly and use nice language. And always thank them for their understanding and helpfulness.

They will only ban that account not ip's, and if its a perma ban you find it hard to get a reply, if its a temp ban you will find they wont contact you and explain until after your ban has finished its duration.

What's the reason of the ban, as mentioned in the error message you receive at login?

Could be a payment issue ("Account Suspended for Payment Fraud").

Or, more likely, it's a spam message that tries to phish your paypal account data from you by redirecting you to a false paypal login page.

If that's the case, be glad you got banned, because you may have been hacked. This particular flavor of 045 is for your protection if your account was accessed from in ip that doesn't match your area of the world. If their system catches it, they will temp ban the account in order to protect you from getting stripped. Support will ask you for various pieces of information such as cd keys, payment information, and anything that can prove you own the account. Just be polite and patient, because it may take a couple of days.

When I had my account hacked by singapore gold sellers, it took about 3-4 days of back and forth with support. I did get my account back, but most of my chars valuables were gone (all mats, money, consumables)...so expect that your stuff may be gone if/when you regain control of your account.

You will get your account back, just be polite with support as suggested above and provide them with what they ask for and things will be set straight.

Ok as i said before in other posts and someone already said - support staff dont work weekends as far as anyone knows and if by chance a staff member of anet or ncsoft sees this - can you suggest putting on support site you dont work weekends.
Sadly this means having to wait till probably tuesday earliest ( mondays support have a few thousand ( guessing ) support tickets to get thru as catchup ) before support can assist you.

I don't quite see what this has to do with guild wars guru? We're only a fansite and can't actually help you or explain why. Send a ticket to support and ask for a review of the ban.

I'm also thinking that Anet support don't work weekends so there might be a bit of a wait.

SAME thing happened to me on Friday, I was sitting in Gunnars, Dhuum pops up and I got banned. I sent a support ticket to them, been waiting a few days now with no response. I'm just hoping they respond soon so it gets cleared up!

If you're all being pure and telling the truth about your bans, then you're all victims of blanket bans and poor bot/rmt catching algorithms.

I wish you guys luck and hope you all get it resolved.

Tho OP isnt asking for Guru to reslove this issue, he's just looking for guidance. I'm glad the Guru community assisted me when I had a similar issue. Players who have experience in these matters have insight as to course of action and how to make a case to Anet.

No actually,the OP didn't ask for guidance. And he/she already did the best thing possible in this instance. Contact support,as mentioned in the OP.

Actually I had a similiar experience last weekend. My account was hacked thru the master account on NCSoft's site. I think the hackers got my password from the attack on guru a while back. I didn't realize it, but the master account had the same password as guru. I didn't know that was the case or i would have fixed that little loophole. The problem is that I set up the master account years ago and have never used it since. I forgot it even existed.

Anyways, my story had a happy ending. My account was stolen at 10am Sunday, but I didn't discover the theft until 11pm Sunday evening. I contacted NCSoft immediately and got a response immediately. They locked down the account. Monday morning, I emailed them all the info they needed to verify my ownership and again got a reply within an hour. I retrieved the account and nothing was missing. I guess the hackers couldn't get past the character name requirement which I haven't posted on guru in over a year. You can find it if you dig thru my old posts, but that's probably too much work for the average thief.

I was happy with NCSoft's response time and very surprised everything was still there. I got lucky.

So is this a second wave of mass bannings? I was worried about getting banned for doing strength of snow so much in case I was thought to be a bot

ps. Didn't get a mini bear

Implies lack of knowledge of how to proceed. Posting in "Questions and Answers" by default implies need for advice.

Not the most helpful or supportive tone to a community member. A fansite with the history and player base that Guru has can offer loads of support and advice to members who may not be a versed in all the ins and outs of how to handle these issues.

I guess, but what do you expect, at the end of the day what they said was correct, maybe some wrongfully banned people can offer advice from their experiences but thats about it. For all we know ban is legit, even if not, if 10 guru members confirm they wrongly banned, still gonna have to send a ticket.

I personally have the Guru community to thank for giving me the tools I needed to get my acct unlocked. If noone had offered insight on how to properly defend my case to Ncsoft and had just said "Submit a ticket" I may not have an active acct now. It takes more than just a ticket to get your acct back. You must satisfy a human on the other end that you are the rightful owner. Again I thank the compassionate and understanding Guru community members who offered advice.
