Here is the e-mail they sent:
***Notice of Account Closure***
Account Name: WOW1
Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy
This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.
Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.
We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: Impact of Buying Gold - Services - World of Warcraft
The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at Blizzard Entertainment: Blizzard Legal Documentation.

Anyways, I am not too mad but I was just wondering how to tell if I have been perma-banned or just suspended because if you look at the bolded part of the e-mail it tells me that the next time I violate the ToS that I may be perma-banned. When I try to sign into WoW it says:
"This World of Warcraft account has been closed and is no longer available for use. Please go to []Game Guide - World of Warcraft for further information."
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
