Does Aura Kingdom bans you for not paying lately?

[ShiroKansen]

I was thinking on buying some AP but I keep seeing people saying: ''don't buy anything in Aura Kingdombecause they will ban you for not paying lately''

IS THIS TRUE?!

[Hextravert]

What exactly does not paying lately mean?

for example: when they bought some ap then after for while idk like a few months they got banned for not paying again or lending some money that's what they said

That seems very unlikely.

After all, we're talking about an established company here.

Not a bunch of blackmailing loan sharks.

Well if you want to know, the last thing I did with my Aeria account was play the open beta and first few days of the launch in Aura Kingdom, and when I tried logging in again today, I discovered my account was banned for "violating the ToS."
I tried resetting my password because it wouldn't log in and saw this: http://i.imgur.com/rytrYQk.png

I know that if you spend money on one of the many websites that offer in-game gold, and Aeria finds out, they WILL ban your account because it violates the ToS. All of the bots that are constantly flooding the servers actually come from those sites in order to farm for gold and silver in order to sell it to other players. However, they can not legally ban you for not buying AP in a free to play game. I played the game for a few months, then didn't touch it for like 2 years, and then got back into it when I realized it was on steam. My account was never banned. So if you want to play the game, then go right ahead. As long as you don't make any bad choices, there is no risk in playing.

thx

The only thing what can happen is Aeria freezes yer AP when u are offline for a (very) long time.. Acc/AP won't be banned, but vaulted (for obvious safety of the rightful owners of the accounts.). Send a ticket to Aeria and it's solved quite quickly (it's in the forum multiple times).
To avoid this kind of situations, just log in once a month. Saves also a lot of grievement if Aeria cleans out chars like the last time.

And yes. Buying illegal gold... You were warned by many means, so if you do, it's the same as tax avoidance. You won;t be happy too if a third party steals yer goods and therefore incomes, aight?

Bullshite.

I had my account banned for not playing for 6 months.

I have put at least $2000 into Aeria Games titles, and this is how they paid me back.

No email detailing why i was banned, just that i had "violated the terms of service".

I've never bought 3rd party gold (Why would i have to when i earn enough gold ingame in all the titles i've played?).

I've never cheated or abused glitches in any of the titles i've played.

I've never been rude to anyone, and i've never harrassed anyone.

I was however offline for 6+ months due to real life obligations and other various reasons.

They banned me for not paying, when I returned to the game earlier this year.
I had to send a support ticket to get them to unban me.

Then a few months later, I decide to buy like $10 worth of AP... and guess what? It somehow banned me(All I am doing is sitting in-game doing NOTHING waiting for the AP to arrive). So I have to wait on another ticket.

BTW, you will never suffer from these problems if you simply do not ever buy anything from them.

stopped playing for a year got bored

is it bought directly from Aeria Games?
Yes: no problems, no bans
No: you'll get banned.
Did you wait 5-10 minutes before trying to reset password after 2 failed attempts?
Yes: no problems, but be careful and patient.
No: Accoutn blocked, undetermined time.
Are you trading with other players?
Yes: high chance of either getting scammed, or banned for trading suspicious items with players. no questions asked.
No: No problems.

this is as simple as it gets. these are the three golden rules of any MMORPG. the unwritten golden rules :
1: Dont buy from anywhere except the official main website.
2: Don't try more than 2 times to connect or reset password or change account informations within 10 minutes (some website needs 30 minutes instead...)
3: Don't trade with anyone for ANYTHING. it's the safest. Auction house is often safe, worst case scenario with auction house is you'll lose the bought item, no refunds. (But no ban for illegal trade)

For a little over 15 years I have followed these three rules. and the only time I got a ban, was a temporary ban because I was in the same room as a hacker in maplestory once, and I couldn't report him (back then, you had to wait 12 hours between reports, and hacker were almost everywhere)
I never got so much as a warning other than that maplestory incident. I lost a few items bought from auction/marketplace but nothing else.
To be perfectly clear : act like a paranoid would and you'll be fine.

I have never had any issues with this company or any online company in the past 15+ years of playing online games. Using common sense and voiding any shady trade deals (IE: it's too good to be true type of deals) will always keep you safe.

There has never been an incident that I have seen where another player was wrongfully banned, because they didn't use common sense, attempted to buy gold from a gold seller (I hear a lot of these kids try and claim they were only trying to trade gold with a "friend" lmao).

No company has ever banned an account for not buying their products or currency if they sell it in game, so all of these posters here who claim they have been wronged I do not believe, as they have 100% screwed up their own account by doing something stupid.

Yes, even if you let a family / friend, dog, borrow your account, you are responsible for their actions. If you feel you were wronged then contact the game support, don't post here as no one can help you and you only give the community a spectacle to laugh at because you screwed up.
