** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

[n3vrmind]

my main concern here is that i had no ill intentions but i've been flagged as banned and that might disqualify me from getting any invites to the public beta for this or other blizzard games

seems strange to put it on my account and then flag it as banned rather than just removing it, would be frustrating to have my account of 4+years blocked from using normal PTRs too as a result. anyway waitin for an update

 

[Wyrdo]

Hmm mine has been flagged as banned too, quite annoyed as I jsut spent bloody hours patching haha

Colin, any idea what's going on? A friend of mine who you got into the beta is still playing fine.

 

[Shaye87]

Not that that is a good thing in my mind of course.

no it's not good, it's bad, but you can't do anything against it, so just tag along (aka play wow)

 

[TFleming]

Well atleast you can get to the log-in screen. I'm stuck at patching error.

Hehe. No thanks, I've done my time in WoW, I really don't think I could tolerate another day of the WoW "community"

I'm not going to be happy if I download 1.1GB and find out i'm banned!

[Edit] Battle.net says i'm banned and I can't get on the forums.

 

[James J]

well my client still works even though bnet says banned/suspended/disabled. It might just be the PTR copying process which has been disabled and not the game client

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Battlenet showing as banned like many others.
I'd not actually logged on in the past week or so
Not actually tried to log into the Alpha in a few days so will double check when I get home.

I hadn't been on it a lot recently as some fo the issues I cant mention here were really doing my head in.

 

[Apok]

Both B.net and the client say im banned...

 

[TFleming]

Mine says banned on B.net too.

Anyone asked Blizzard for a reason why?

 

[Viper²]

Same here. Can't get on the forums or the Beta (whatever) Client.

 

[Kazz]

Clicking on Cataclysm in 'Manage Games' in battlenet account also gives the "You are unable to access this page because this license is banned, locked, or suspended." message it seems.

Strange as only some of us are currently flagged as 'banned'.

Edit: Note that I can still log into regular WoW with no probs.

 

[Robert]

Guys - do you any of you pay buy maestro? If so your subs will have ended...and i'm sure you can only play the beta f you're subscribed.

 

[G-Man]

I'm using visadebit and my renewal is 3 weeks away anyway. Both actual game logins are fine, its just the bnet site (which i assume is whats killed the forum)

 

[Viper²]

I cancelled some subs on my accounts recently but I still have an active account under my BNET account.

edit: Using Visa credit card.

 

[Kazz]

Yeah account is listed as 'Active' in green letters.

 

[n3vrmind]

Thats the reason i was on b.net in the first place, have a rolling subs but had to change over my card details

 

[Broken Hope]

My normal WoW account is active with tons of time left on it, so not that.

 

[Dinkas]

I too am suspended according to BNET and have seemingly lost forum access. I can still play though. My WoW retail is still active and paid up to date, and not with a maestro either. Must be a glitch

 

[Tute]

I was playing the beta with my account frozen, so it's not that.

Not managed to try logging in as the 1.1GB patch was followed by a 600MB one, so i'm currently working on that.
