Need Help with Banned Account
Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2008 10:21 amMy account has been banned, and I need to know if there is anything I can do about it. Here is whats goin on...
The night I was going to transfer my chars over to sonoma, a player who is not in PAS asked me to take a water tile over for him. Nobody in PAS said they knew who he was, but when he offered to give me 2 mil once i was on sonoma I agreed. I figured if he backed out once I was on sonoma, I just would not give him his water tile back, and could probably sell it since I had never seen one before so they must be rare. He then said he had another friend who would be on in a half hour to an hour, and they would pay me to take some stuff for them as well. This is where the $$ signs flashed in my eyes and I figured I was already coming over, why not make some gold doin it. So I agreed to wait. About 20-30 minutes into waiting, a GM pulled me into jail and said I had been found in possesion of an illegal item. I tried explaining that the Water Tile was not mine, and that I had been asked to transfer it to sonoma. The GM would not listen, saying I was the one found in possesion, and that by admitting I was going to transfer it, I show that I was planning on keeping it, not deleting it. The GM said I could expect an email with the details of what would happen. Then my connection went dead, and I could not log into my account on any char on any shard. I tried calling EA but was not able to get a person on the line untill the next day. All they woudl tell me was that they could not change a GM's decission but that I could submit a petition on line. The email EA sent me is telling me that my account has been permanently banned, not just a 3 day ban like last time.
When I first started playing UO, someone sold me a runebook that would never run out of runes no matter how many you dropped from it. They said it was a rare item, and a great way to make money so I bought it. It was a lot faster money then collecting leather which i had been doing for gold. As a new player I didn't realize this book was illegal, and I spent about a day and a half dropping runes and selling them to NPC's right in luna. Somone figured out what I was doing after watching me for a day and a half, and paged a GM. The book was confiscated and my account was banned for 3 days.
So now what do I do? I already had a ban for an illegal item, and they wount listen to me that this one was not even mine. I am trying to write the best petition possible, but Im not sure what would be best to say. If anybody has any advice, please let me know. I can not loose this account. It is the only one I have with built characters, and all my stuff. I have worked way to hard to loose everything. Pleas, any advice anybody may have would be GREATLY appreciated.
As for the items people gave me to transfer over, I am so sorry. This was totally my fault, and I take full responsibility. I got greedy when they told me how much they woud pay me to bring over an item I knew nothing about, and I let my guard down. I am so sorry that it is affecting other people.
