Banned and never played before?

[Mykah]

To whom ever it may concern,

As a few of you may know I recently signed up here to play on Layonara, and I have submitted a character for approval.  

Well, lately I've had some problems after reinstalling my OS and my CD Key (Or something related) seems to be acting funny.  

I attempted to login to Layonara (Just to see if I could login, because every time I try to join a server through gamespy it tells me that my cd key is still in use)

well when I logged in, it said Failed to Connect: BANNED.  

I was wondering if this is something that always happens before a character is approved on your end, (Maybe something that denies all I.P.'s unless approved, or if it's just me?)

If it IS just me.. first off let me say that I would be extremely dissapointed as I was really looking forward to playing.. and also.. I would wonder why, as I have never played here.. or on any other server for QUITE some time and I would really like to have the oppertunity to do so.  

Thanks for your time,  
                              Mykah.

hmm, anyone else have/has had access to your CD-Keys in the past?

I've got a hairy feeling it's a cracked serial. Do you own a personal copy? If so, then your key might be leaked.

[Mykah]

Yeah I fixed the problem.  I owned two copies, diamond and platinum one was my wifes, I used the wrong keys for the wrong install so the account keys and the game keys were mismatched

Thanks for the help guys.

One thing though, you can't create unapproved characters just to check the world out. We've got a rather strict ruleset regarding this, but it's much more fun with a character that's already had some work done and is ready to be immersed into Layonara.

So take some time to get acquainted with the lore and submit a character. You'll be ready in no time.

Oh I wasn't going to create a character or anything (until the one I submitted is approved), I just wanted to see that I can actually get IN to layonara, which I can.    

That's all I needed to know.
