In the past 4+ish months, I find it hard to find a replacement for WoW. I was banned from yet another website. Runes of magic was going to be my holdover game until Star Wars: The Old Republic goes live. I was working on a unit frame / bar mod combo addon that was for a friend of mine who is a clicker (yeah, I know). I haven't played the game since April 9th and haven't logged into the forums since April 3rd, but when I go to the forums today and try to check out a file attachment someone has linked there, I get a ban notice.
"You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.
Date the ban will be lifted: Never"
Now, granted, it is a free to download, free to play game, so i didn't really lose anything except my time, but it seems rather strange to not give a reason for banning... permanently. I just wonder why, and if I'm having a streak of bad mojo in regards to finding a replacement for WoW (also found out I'm banned from SWG and EQ, never email SOE reps asking if their sister is hot and if her address is available). As I recall, I never posted anything at all on RoM forums, and I had no problems in game or anything... just blows my mind.
So, as much as I dislike Blizzard, at least they've always given me a reason when I was forum banned, and 9 out of 10 times (figurative number) it was fair to say I probably deserved it.
My point? Should I forget about my 'principles' and go back to Blizzard until I can find a more legitimate game that I enjoy to replace it? I have a couple friends that say I need to stop nerd raging on discussion boards, but when I go looking through my posts, all I see are posts of me attempting to help people (occasional sarcasm and off topic, but really, it IS wow forums, you know "STFU NOOB, L2P" are common and I'm no where near that in my posts). I don't know, maybe they're right, I do seem to get banned a lot.
I don't know what I expect to accomplish with this post, I know it's a bit of a rambling on about useless crap. Maybe I need a shrink instead of an mmo
. I guess I'm just curious if I'd be much of a hypocrite for picking wow back up, damned addictive, mmo's are.
PS.. Please don't ban me for this, delete it if you must, but I'm just not sure I would handle being banned again very well.
