Can you please provide any examples of this happening in the past? I am curious about this, because if this is the case then it would seem to a hazard to use public/shared VPN(s), TOR nodes or anything like that. I don't believe that they simply would ban an account because it shares an IP with an offender. Otherwise, paying a fee for an "evil" IP would probably not be implemented, either.
I want to read up on some more official statements surrounding this issue.
You won't be
automatically banned if someone on the same IP is banned. IP addresses are pretty poor identifiers. In certain countries it is very common for different people in the same general region to share IPs
a lot, and even two veteran forum users in the same US state are quite likely to share an IP address somewhere in their IP history.
But if you evade a ban, your alts will eventually be found through manual investigation.
Well sir, can you check my account? what is the cause of the ban of my account? I remembered using VPN just once, then my account was banned the other day. I just used that vpn not knowing that it will affect my account can you please review it, and tell me the reason why is it banned and how can I recover it? thank you so much, sir! Good day!
