It says I have been banned

Post by Tactical »

Hello,
Thanks for reading, I got my computer second hand which may help, anyway, I'll say it from the start.
I found Atractor0123 on my desktop, the guy I bought this comp off said there was a few net games on here. I opened it up, installed it to Universal20, I opened the game, made an account as Character name: Tactical Username: Tactical
Then I went to Zoric 6 because the name stood out, I think I would check all the servers first, and see how the game is. It loaded then I got put back to the server screen, said I was banned, ban ID #0. All other servers work fine.
Please help me!
P.S, if it may help, my internet provider is Ihug.

Um, whats your ip? i suppose it isn't variable.

if you have an ip that has a similar first 3 parts of an ip as a banned player that could be the reason. if A-tractor was installed, you should be able to find out what his old name was, if you could supply that then it might help realise who we are dealing with and why they might have been banned.

theres only 2 people that have recently been banned from zoric 7 afaik, one was SCUD25 and the other was a newbie whose name i can't think of right now.

some people do bad things...

Oh, damn, well it wasn't installed, it just had that globe icon - green, so I was curious and installed it. My Server I.P's first 5 numbers are: 203.55. My Client's first 6 numbers are: 203.206. If that helps, please keep me updated, need anymoreanswers just email me: xtacticalx@ihug.com.au
Thanks :)

anyway... unless your playing tractor in the same house he was, you should be able to get in..............................................you COULD try reformatting and re-downloading, which should allow you to get back in, i think scud did it?.....but if that doesnt work, your IP range has been banned...and you'd have to talk to zaroba

Well guys, thanks for your help, I'm new to all of this stuff anyway. It's cool with me, I don't really care, I got lots of other games, but the guy who sold me the comp said that a-tractor was really cool, I should play it instead of other games, I thought that if it's that good, I might as well try it, but seeming I can only get into the empty places, it's very boring. Thanks for everything. Email me if you've fixed the problem xtacticalx@ihug.com.au

main thing is that many times in the past when somebody is banned, they would try to get back in. thier have been times when somehow, these "second-hand" computers would come from the banned person to somebody else, and it only happens with the banned peoples computers.

also, scud was useing that computer first, which implies it was probably his better one (why use a crap comp before a good one on a game?), after the ban he switched computers. why would he get rid of his good computer in favor of his 2nd one?


i have no problem with removing the ban tactical, but first i need to look at some stuff in the island logs
ahh heck with it, i'll unban you for now, will look in the logs later when i get the chance.
