Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

char name: ceephax / horde PvP

Dear admin/GMs,

My account has been closed just now for no apparent reason. I can't seem to find any explanation for the ban and I would like to contest it. It would be a shame to lose the account/character as I had been peacefully leveling and had accumulated about two days worth of played time. To lose that much progress due to a glitch in the system would be upsetting.

I think that this is a spurious ban.

Thank you for your consideration, respond when convenient

Don't post your acct name, rather a character name for them to look up

Thank you for your response.

Well, I did buy gold a while ago, but I had not realized that this was a bannable offense-- on the contrary, I was under the impression that it was part of your business structure. Please take a look at this deceptively legitimate-looking website. http://nostalrius.net

Seeing as they've got a nostalrius domain and graphic design, I thought, "OK, so this is how Nostalrius makes money." Now, upon closer inspection, I see the blurb at the bottom of the page about how they are in fact not officially affiliated with Nostalrius.

Basically, I was fooled. Since one can essentially buy gold on WoW retail (vis a vis game time tokens sold on the auction house), I thought that Nostalrius had a similar system in place.

Perhaps you will consider letting me back on my character? Now that I know that buying gold is not allowed on Nostalrius, I have no interest in doing it again. I just want to play, and I would really rather not retrace my steps leveling a warrior to 30 (a grueling task).

Thank you again

By the way, I want to emphasize that I would not have gone through with the purchase had I known that I could be banned for it. I went into this with good intentions.

They don't make exceptions when a bannable offence is confirmed, not being aware of the terms of use won't save your account.

that's why you are asked to explicitly agree to the terms of use upon account creation

well at least you are honest

Wow, is a deceptive site though. For a new player if you just "browse" the tou and come a cross this site I can see a player thinking it's ok. Not an excuse of course but sorry to the OP
