Does this mean my account will be banned for not being in those countries listed?

Jesus, that reads like it.

I notice that Europe, Russia, the Middle East and most of Asia are missing... Um.

What the hell? It's not the first of April yet!

Well because they would need the EU version. I don't think you would be banned, especially since many using the US version aren't in the US. Not just a few - hundreds of people.

I've check official wow forum, still no official clarification about this matter. *sigh*

I wouldn't worry personally, they'd lose more than they'd gain if they started banning. I wager it is simply a measure in their ToS to protect themselves (different laws in different countries such as China with it's restrictions on MMO's).

It is one of them things I imagine, like giving your friend a shot of your WoW account for an hour to try the game out, even though it is forbidden by the Terms. We all have done it at one point.

Where did you buy it from Kakero?

If you imported the game then technically, yes they can ban your account.

Kakero 01-11-2007 11:21 PM

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I even halted my payment for Burning Crusade just in case.

I bought mine from this website www.pcgame.com.my

If you don't draw attention to yourself by using various IP's (Other people's PC's) then you should be fine, but I would not be surprised if they do searches for abnormal IP's (From other countries)

I don't think they're going to ban legit players with this. It's basically just an excuse to bad chinese farmers when they see them.

SpiritWarrior 01-12-2007 02:49 PM

This is what I felt too. It's a techy detail to protect themselves. Be good and it won't be an issue.
