I created another account after the ban. I created it on my same battle.net username. Now when I login I have all my heirlooms, pets, mounts and toys from my main account. The heirlooms were expecially important. Might save some of you some time setting up the new account on your existing battle.net login. My friend created his account on a new battle.net login and now doesnt have access to all his stuff from his main account.
