Wow! So I got banned because my cousin bought silver with MY credit card!
 

The title says it all. I just got the message last night after several unsuccessful attempts to log in. I let my cousin eric play over the past weekend while I went to see my grandma, and he told me that he tried to BUY, yes, B U Y silver! I'm like O M G! POOOF! There goes my lvl. 42 archer....

::UPDATE[AS OF 1/16/08]::

CSM Cretz messaged me back on the matter this morning. Apparently, since I asked so nicely, I'll eligible to participate in the game when it "officially" launches, whenever that is... :[

Perhaps you could try and explain to Outspark what happened.

Yeah, that's worth a shot.

well..your cousin got scammed, which is..ermm...Idk how it happened, but I think it shouldn't have happened and you shouldn't have let your cousin play

I'll try to do that. I've already told my aunt about this and he's not coming to my house ANYMORE!! I'm in the process of getting the money back to my paypal account.

They won't give you sympathy, they said they want 1 person per account and its your own fault for letting an untrustworthy person use your account.

Your cousin bought silvers on your outspark account? or just with ur computer and credit card onto his account?

But if they unban you... then everyone can just say "oh that wasnt me" and the gold site will still flood our servers....

well in a way its good to know they're doing something about ppl buying unfair gold!! sry that ur cousin got out of control =(

Sorry to hear about that, but like Hessah said, if they unbanned your account, then everyone could just say that it was someone else using the account. And it has been stated before not to let anyone use your account. But, it still stinks, especially since you didn't do it.

It's not like I knew he was untrustworthy. It's sort of my fault anyway. I used to always rant about me being exceedingly broke, and he told me he bought it as a surprise.

If push comes to shove, then I'll just start over on my laptop and move to Teva, IF I get lucky and get unbanned...

Yosei isn't being mean, she is pointing out facts. As sad as it is, it is probably the truth. They take no sympathy on these matters since everyone is coming down so hard on them about the bots already.
