So i check my email and i find this letter. I was like WTF are they talking about violation of selling accounts and other stuff. Note: had i really done this i wouldn't be on her letting everyone know but i paid money for the disk. Been playing since it came out i have all characters on one server 3 more on another.

Miltiades Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well, obviously, if you feel like your account was banned without a reason to, and a mistake has been made, you should contact BioWare through the email adress given in the email.

Pho3nix Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I've heard a lot of complaints with stuff like this actually, people getting banned for swearing once in public channels and whatnot. Just contact BioWare and see if you can do something about it, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimartin Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I would try with BioWare first, then if that didn't work, then may go with a lawyer. Most likely I would just quit playing BioWare/EA games after asking for my money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Most likely I would just quit playing BioWare/EA games after asking for my money back. Mim not playing a BioWare game? Never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan23 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Simply contact bioware-email and see if there is a way to get hold of customer support and see if they have a phone number for this. It never hurts to drop during the conversation tangent while you are trying to find out this stuff--mention you have an uncle who is a lawyer,.. It's a mistake and they just need to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea id like money back.. while it angers me but as long as mass effect is under the bioware logo i cant quit playing that one. Simply contact bioware-email and see if there is a way to get hold of customer support and see if they have a phone number for this.

RogueJedi86 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Was your account hacked? I imagine when the credit sites steal accounts, they do the WoW methodology and clean the account out and then make level 1s to send credit spam. Was your account password changed or anything? They could've banned just to be safe, with you contacting after to get it restored. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting their wording in their e-mail to you. Either way, contact them, find out what exactly they found in your account, and show them it was a misunderstanding. *edit* And by the way, you can't lawyer up for any of this. Read the TOS/EULA. They're allowed to ban you at any time. Nothing they did violates the law. So the poll seems a tad strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing they did violates the law. So the poll seems a tad strong. That and most lawyers would cost at bit more than buying a new copy of the game and making a new account.

Blix Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sue them for every single penny they've got, or settle on the condition that they make a KOTOR III....just kidding But seriously email Bioware explaining your end of the situation - seems like the matter hasn't been fully investigated.

Lynk Former Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the same guy who was trying to make a modding platform for TOR? Could the two be related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id never try to mod an online game... i have more sense than that it was a thought as all... bioware may support modding in the distant future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It's great that your account was reactivated, but... Id never try to mod an online game... i have more sense than that it was a thought as all... bioware may support modding in the distant future You did create a thread here titled 'TOR Extraction Tool' (which we have deleted as a precaution), that provided a link to a tool for extracting and reading the files, and also provided a list explaining the various file types. And before you say 'I didn't create either of them', that's irrelevant - you shared links to and explained how to access files which, under the terms of the game's EULA, aren't meant to be accessed - obviously that wasn't the reason your account was banned if it's been reactivated, but be mindful of the risk of posting about such things in future.

RogueJedi86 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The extraction tool sounds interesting. People had one for SWG to read/listen to the TRE files(and modify if they wanted, which I once did with combat music for the heck of it). I'd love to be able to listen to some of the TOR music not on the OSTs that are in the game files. But that's neither here nor there, and gets off the subject at hand.

CrisG Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 You might want to change the title of your thread ..Bioware is a good company and I am glad they listened to your concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
