I have no idea, but I know how much work it is to search for a player, especially if his/her name is not unique in some way, throughout a whole database of names (possibly over 10-20 million).

My name is pretty unique

In fact I am confident that there is not other person walking this planet with my name and surname

level 0 = normal player I believe,
level 1 = ingame GM
level 2 = admin

To the adress TO has given.

BTW, how long will it "kinda" be untill a letter arrives? Was sent by normal mail. Not the expensive face-to-face /signature delivery.

It is your postal service, which could answer this. But formal letters should be send with at least signature, so you can get the actual day and the receive confirmations, again for legal reasons.
Assume, the letter have not been delivered there for some reason, then how you could know that?

True.

In worst case i just have to re-write the letter. I will give it untill next week tueseday/wednseday max. If I didn't hear anything by then. I will most likely send another one.

Would this work if you're in Europe but you're playing on a US Realm?

 

[Pierlala]

I think it will. Not sure.

 

[webhond]

it doesnt work at all. re-read the thread... and then say if you want to post that letter again. one big troll !

today i recived a phonecall from blizzard and my 6 month's ban was gone.

I sent them a letter by post. This is what i wrote to them ;

Send this to their legal team.

Actually no, OP. It wasn't written by an attorney. It was written by me. Stop lying, it's terrible for your soul.

And here's the best part...after I sent it to ICU, I sent it to a user over Skype. Sephirofl might have shared it...but unlikely.

Since I wrote this on Monday, three days have not passed - you haven't sent it, it never reached their offices, and furthermore, they didn't 'call' you, because a callback must be registered through a ticket - and the legal offices (which you apparently sent this to) will not call you back without a licensed attourney present.

You can read my previous comments on why he is lying - he didn't author the letter, nor did an attourney. I did.

They will not, under any circumstances, overturn the current six month ban. They have irrefutable proof. Yes, you can request your information from them - go ahead! But it won't help. Your computer processes and RAM are not considered 'personal data' under the Data Protection Act.

Even if he did get a call from a Blizzard GM, they would issue out digital proof of the account ban being overturned, through either an email or a ticket on their service.

Everyone, please, understand that Blizzard is not overturning their bans. They are well within their rights, since they are not mishandling 'personal' data. You are welcome to see what personal data they have gathered on you - and it will just be a bunch of IP addresses, nothing more.

Letters such as mine will just lead to a permenant account closure. They reserve the right to close your account at any time, for any reason.

You know, this is very interesting.

Why?

I hand wrote that letter, to the very word, and gave it to ICU for his thread.
Proof is here, a screenshot from my personal messages: The Letter, The Timestamp

So, I have to wonder...ICU, are you making alternate accounts and spamming them?
Because - and here's the funny thing...I wrote the letter with a lot of loopholes. It won't work, at all. It's absolute bullshit. It's a hoax, a scam, a troll if you will.

And here the OP is, claiming it works. Well, I can assure you, ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't. I should know, I wrote the bloody thing.

 

[Pierlala]

Several people sent letters today after reading this thread. We'll all know for sure in a few days.

 

[bubuhubu]

Nope. Can't happen under law.

Money already exchanged hands. This acceptance is after the fact. Not part of the initial agreement. This constitutes a degree of pressure.

Also here...

the scope of consent must be reasonably concrete.

If they are going outside the parameters then its null and void.

This.
You don't accept ToS before you pay. You already pay the price of the game and then you have no choice but to accept ToS to play the game which you have already paid for.

When it comes to court of law, their ToS means shit since you have already paid.

Wrong. The ToS is for online play, not for the physical game itself. It clearly states that you have to buy game time if you want to play. That's where the ToS / EULA comes into effect...

 

[Beringtom]

I'm going to call BS on this, if someone with 150+ posts could provide proof then maybe, but this? nahh...
I would request all information to be send to me via mail and not email

 

[Pierlala]

So just because someone is not a forum addict, it must be a fake?

We will find out in a few days. Besides, maybe not all of us will succeed. Perhaps there were other factors that played a role in his unbanning.

Yeah, you own the game! Good job. Good luck playing it online unless you agree to the ToS!

There is a huge difference between owning the game and being able to play it online. It even says on the box that you need an internet connection and a monthly subscription to play it. Guess what you have to agree to before you can play it online? Sure, you spent money on the box, so you own it. They can't take that away from you. But it doesn't mean they have to let you use their online service. When you buy it digitally, it's the same way. You can download the game, but you can't play it on their servers unless you agree to their rules.

As a Australian player plays on the OCE server, which country's privacy law we relate to?
And who knows the blizzard Sydney office's location? Might go write a letter cuz the ticketing seems pointless.

Australian law's definition of personal information:

personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:
(a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
(b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

If you request information about your ban, it's not considered personal information because it's not about you. They can tell you stuff like your IP address or your name, but your processes don't count.

Also a part of the law:

3.3 An APP entity must not collect sensitive information about an individual unless:

the individual consents to the collection of the information and:
if the entity is an agency — the information is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of the entity's functions or activities; or
if the entity is an organisation — the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of the entity's functions or activities; or

You gave them consent to collect information.
