Banned or Locked Account

Check your Battle.net Email Account

Any time your World of Warcraft Account is suspended or locked, an email is sent to your Battle.net email address with details of the suspension. If you have not received an email, keep in mind it may take up to 30 minutes to be received. If you still have not received the email after 30 minutes have passed, ensure you do not have emails from Blizzard Entertainment blocked. You may wish to read our guide, How to Receive Email from Blizzard Entertainment, for more information.

If the suspension was for an activity you don't remember...

Look over our Account Security Checklist on Battle.net. A common cause of unexpected suspension is activity that occurred while an account was compromised. If your account was compromised, the party who compromised it may have used it to perform illicit activity, such as buying gold, selling gold, or advertising.

Contacting Blizzard Support

You can contact Blizzard Support through the Support Site. From there you can ask questions regarding account recovery and you can also dispute any Account Actions you may have received.

Every second time I get on this game I have to verify I'm me. After 4 to 5 times it's getting really old and I pay good money for the privilege. I don't appreciate being treated this way.

Why is it I keep getting threatened to get an authenticator? I play only at my house at my computer? I want to know why every month that I am told to authenticate or my account will be locked Hey I am paying for this not to be made to buy stuff that in my case will not do anything to secure my game. So please stop threating me to get something I don't need...

I cannot connect to battle.net. my brother installed my copy of diablo 2 on accident, tried to connect to bnet ( ONE TIME ) and our ip was instantly banned. i cannot get on diablo, diablo 2, world of warcraft or starcraft/ starcraft 2. I OWN all of these games. but because of a single, one time, minor offense, im banned from all of them? thats ridiculous

Roflmao. -cough- Oh thank you all for the hilarity. I really needed a good laugh. Apparently so few read the Breaking News on the login screen. And Epicfire, thank you for the amazing comments. ;D Thanks to my daughter's SIMs game for the PS2, I now picture all the panicking masses reacting to WoW being "down" and "losing all their customers" because this happens "three times a weak", reacting like her SIMs do to a fire in the house. Hysterically waving their arms and running around screaming. Ah. Today is a good day. XD

HEY EVERYBODY!! i AM TYPING IN CAPS SO YOU CAN SEE THIS AND QUIT CRYING!
"We will be performing scheduled maintenance beginning on Wednesday, January 25, at 03:30 am PST (Pacific Standard Time) and we expect the service to be available again at approximately 11:00 am PST. During this time the game will be unavailable for play."
This should answer most of you peoples' endless complaints. I should be a dam GM or something... Oh and if you are wondering why your launchers aren't opening, that is connected tot he blizzard store and website which are also down. Thank you for reading this and stopping yourselves from wasting the time typing. I love you all.

@Epicfire: If you are wondering where you can see this, go into your wow folder as if you were placing an add-on and instead of clicking blizzard launcher, click Wow. It will load the login screen but you still wont be able to log in. Thanks and sorry for not clearing that up.
