Technical account locked/suspended but can be unlocked/for botnetwork

You are not the only one man. Other people are having the same exact problem. Stay calm :)
Pretty sure admins are aware of this issue and working on resolving it, I guess :D

Your IP Address (186.xx.xx.xxx) has been suspended for due to BotNetwork

That's the message that I get into the web, in-game says that I has been baned but could be disbaned. It happens like 2 minutes ago, now Im in game without problem.

but why happens? I was just playing into another server and when I changged the realmlist to this one I noticed with that short suspension. Let me know what happens.
One little information to have know, Im Uruguayan, we dont have a native ip address, when our router is turned of and on it changes the ip address or in certain moment, I think 12 hours ip changges automaticaly so maybe that was the problem, btw I want to know what happened

When I enter the game, it's say that my account is locked but can be unlocked. But i don't know how to unlock it... can someone help me?

hello
i dont know why my account is locked
when i try to log in, it gives this error:
''your account has been locked but can be unlocked''

Same here.

Usually logging into the website fixed the issue, but not any more.

I thought 2FA would fix the issue, but no.

Now I get disconnected when I manage to log in, refreshing the lockout immediately!

I am locked out for the second time, I think emailing ([email protected]) helped unlock the account the first time a couple days ago, but now no response in 12+ hours, could it be that PDANet+ and/or phone internet connection are causing this? I live in the country-side so don't have many other options. Any ideas?

I emailed the team ([email protected]) the first time it happened a couple days ago and they might've unlocked it, or maybe it unlocked automatically idk, but now 2nd time I have been locked out for 12 hours, I suspect its my mobile phone internet and/or PDAnet+ tethering that might be triggering this, anyone have any ideas?

[cpnpat]

I found a solution to the unexplained "Account is Locked but can be Unlocked" login error.

Basically you have to switch internet to something that doesn't use PDA Net or other Tethering software, I suspect it acts like a VPN and I think the ip is blocked.

Kind of lame, but there you go.

I was trying to enter on my account after a long time without playing the game and i realized that it was blocked and my IP was banned for BotNet, but, i did not do anything. Can someone help me? The account's name is "nanpluz". I can't even enter on it. Sorry for the bad english.

Any help? Ty

I tried send a ticket but i couldn't. i haven't login since december 2022.

[LeKheyDu1825]

So today I tried logging into the game only to find that I was somehow "locked" ? then i decided to login to the website and when i searched to see the reason, i was told that my ip has been suspended because of BotNetwork ? then it just disappeared and now I can play normally ???

And of course i don't use any botting or thing like that.

does warmane randomly ban ppl? i havent log on game for 6 months and when i came back i was banned then i sent email and got unbanned and yesterday i log in and do few bgs and log out and now im banned for botnetwork? like do gms look at cases before banning them, i have to send unban request again and wait few days without playing. and i didnt use vpn either.
