Ban Appeals

Hello Octo Staff,

I sincerely apologize for my actions and for breaking the server rules. I fully understand that what I did was wrong, and I take responsibility for my actions.

It has now been more than two months since my ban, and during this time I have had a lot of time to reflect on what happened. I understand my mistake much better now, and I sincerely regret my actions.

I would like to kindly ask if there is any possibility of appealing my ban. If a permanent unban is not possible, I would also be very grateful if you could consider a temporary suspension or any other punishment that would allow me to return to the server.

I have invested a lot of time and effort into my character, and I genuinely enjoyed playing on OctoWoW. I would really appreciate the opportunity to come back and prove that I can follow the rules and be a respectful member of the community.

If an appeal is unfortunately not possible, I would like to ask about one other possibility. I really like the name of my character. Would it be possible for the staff to delete my banned character so that I could create a new character using the same name? I completely understand if this is not allowed, but I would sincerely appreciate it if you could consider it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my appeal and consider my requests. I understand that the final decision is entirely up to the staff, and I respect whatever decision you make.

Thank you for giving my appeal your consideration.

AI or not, he brings up a valid point about character names. Is there any policy about deleting accounts that have been banned for a given length of time? Obviously enough time needs to be allowed for reasonable appeals to be made, but at a certain point names should be freed up for reuse.

Yeah that's a fair point.

A system to free up names is still on our ToDo list but likely will not be prioritized for a while given all that is going on and some of our other internal goals/timelines for other projects/content.

That said, go ahead and send me a private message and I will get that name freed up for you to reclaim this once.

Yeah, I can't quite see it being the very top priority at this exact moment for sure. :-)

10/10 interaction and this is why this server is so good, RMT should always result in a permanent ban while "appeals" like this should be honored. If the OP is indeed regretful, he won't RMT again and gain unfair advantage over other players, all the while using his old character name and go agane.
