Had this waiting for me when I got home. Account Name: Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy This suspension happened because one or more characters on the account were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy. Even if this behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment. We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/faq/antigoldselling.html The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://eu.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure. For any disputes of this action or further information on Exploitive Activity, please visit the Exploitative Activity FAQ and contact page here: http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article/41654 Regards, Customer Services Blizzard Entertainment Europe http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/
Update: Got my account back early after emailing them.... Greetings, We are writing to inform you that, after a careful investigation of your account suspension, we have agreed to remove the permanent suspension of your account from the World of Warcraft servers. This change has already been put into effect, and your account should again be available for play.
