darthbored Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Apparently if you're banned from ANY game on Origin, not just BF3 (thats just the only other game i have on Origin) it will ban you from playing ANY game on origin. SOURCE: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/12/05/ea-origin-bans-update-edition/ They're also saying people have been getting banned just because a mod is having a "bad day". One person posts a cuss word, and another tells him to calm down in a snide way and that is the person to get banned. So you're not in azeroth any more kiddies, you can be banned from WoW forums and still play the game. However here, dont get banned on ANY EA forums or games, or all of your games on that account will suffer. That said is there any way i can make a new origin account and transfer this preorder code to it? I just dont want to risk losing my access to ALL the games on my origin account if im ever banned.

darthbored Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Guess you're regretting that aimbot now Its called preemptive thinking. Try it once and a while, but you should master thinking before anything else so you would be able to read the part where i said im not banned.

Bluestone Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 SWTOR is not played through origin like BF3 is. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberate Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) No, you don't need origin to run SWTOR. The only issue I could see would be getting banned in BF3 before claiming your DDE(if you bought it) from origin Edited December 14, 2011 by Liberate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCupMan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) edit: Okay so I guess we don't need origin for TOR, I stand corrected I've seen a lot of people banned from BF3 who are completely locked out of their accounts. This has been happening for a while now actually, so yes, if you TOR account is linked to an origin account which is banned and completely locked form playing any form of game, I should [color="red"]ASSUME[/color] that you may lose access to that TOR account too, but we will just have to wait and see, I don't really intend on getting banned in the first place Edited December 14, 2011 by PlasticCupMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthSpankyy Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 all i can say is GOOD! sick of ppl acting like morons/trolls bc its the internet and bc there are no consequences to their actions maybe if more games did this instead of just bending over backwards for anyone who would drop a dime on their games, the internet community might be a little more stomach-able but im just a dreamer i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jest Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 If your account on any EA forum gets banned.. it affects ALL EA Games that have an online element. This means.. if you're acting crazy on this forum and get your account banned.. you WILL be banned from SWTOR as well as BF3 as well as SIMS ONLINE, etc.. This is a newer system of accountability that they're using. This is also why, if you had a BF3 account for Battlog.. and you had to change your SWTOR Password.. your Battlog Password also changed.

darthbored Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 edit: Okay so I guess we don't need origin for TOR, I stand corrected Try logging in origin and seeing if SWTOR is there. Uh oh! Apparently they know this account is tied to my origin account. Meaning yes you're tied to origin. The fact that you dont need origin to launch tor is irrelevant.

Spyde Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 To the Op.. Dont be an *****hat on the forums. And you wont get banned. Wasnt that easy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthbored Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 i guess just make a separate account for each game you have. thats why im asking if theres any way i can get this account to a new origin account just to save myself the fear of posting anything. cause yes a mod can ban you for anything, even if they're having a bad day and just dont like your name. it happens.

Lync Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 is there anyway to get banned and then cancel your pre-order because there is no point in playing for progression and server firsts and leveling up or having a fair chance at fun crafting the AH when items are in demand from release. i bet if i got banned right now, and i canceled my order all i'd miss is an to pay for after the first 6 months lol... and the game wont even have as much class diversity or as technical of game mechanics as rift... this game sucks and we are all refusing to cancel our order because they chose to purposely be inequal in the way they invited personal picks to the early access illegally in order to get a head start and get server firsts and best guilds with free reign on logging in and out of servers to create alts and stuff. I thought Guild-Deployment was gonna be cool so that we could all just have our characters already spawned in the game together or something so we could level up and have fun, but instead u deserve to go to jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It wouldn't be an issue, if the bans were warranted. However, the EA mods, along with the ones here, can sometimes be a little trigger happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
