How IP bans are working
#1
This is just an observation as to the IP banning as a result of the chaos scroll MTS purchase I made.

I had 5 accounts lets call them A,B,C,D,E

I also have 2 Internet circuits at home (I'm in the middle of switching ISPs) and I have 2 Internet circuits at work to test with. (with many different IPs)

account A is the account I used to make the unfortunate purchase.

Now when I log into any account other than E on my regular home ISP I'm banned. (i.e. my home IP is banned for A,B,C,D)
If I log into B,C,D,E on a new IP address I can log in no problem. However, if I attempt to log into A on that same IP address I'm again banned on all accounts except for E.
So B,C,D are somehow associated with account A but E is not. (I don't play E often it used to be a mule account)
Therefore the act of attempting to log into A triggers the ban B,C,D for the IP address being used.

any new account I make is unaffected

I don't know if this is common knowledge on sp.net

Common knowledge except for E.

Interesting on E. Did you have any different information on E (like last name, DOB, etc)?

If you reset your modum do you get a new IP so you can play from B, C, D, and E?

Nope, the password change program allowed me to synchronize all my passwords and PINS on all 5 accounts. The regular IP at home is a static IP i paid for to allow server hosting and other stuff. Frankly, I made the purchase on my main account only because it was the only account that had NX on it. I don't care to play the other accounts as they were just mules except for my 124 Marksman.

I'm looking for other games potentially or failing that I'll start over when GMS gets dual bladers.

Nexon probably links your accounts using your IP log (searching for recent logins using that IP).

When was the last time you logged into E using your home static IP?

They probably IP banned you by quantity, as in only 4 accounts with the similar IP.

@bored4ever86 I meant to say the password change campaign

@angelSL I only logged into E to sync my password and PIN with my other accounts. Maybe 2 weeks ago?
