I was trying to play UT earlier and when I got on a server I was told Epic had banned my CD key.
To say I'm shocked is an understatement. I bought the game 2 years ago on it's mac release and have been playing online ever since without any problem.
I've still got the receipt. I've never lent the game to anyone or given the CD key to anyone. I've never downloaded/used a cheat or bot. No-one has ever accused me of botting (which would be laughable really, I'm rubbish at the game).
I can't even remember having anything that remotely resembles an argument online. My computer was down for 3 months recently and I couldn't play. I've only been playing again for the last 3 weeks and in that time the only person who has complained or said anything to me was some abusive guy who complained when I changed teams in a game of ONS to play with a mate....And I was even leaving a winning team to join the team that were having their core hammered.
I only remember it because he was so abusive. There were bots on the server and they immediately balanced the teams anyway, and I never responded to his abuse apart from to say that the bots would balance the teams.
I've emailed the abuse@epic.com email with all the relevent information they ask for.
So why can something like this happen?
(If you're going to respond to this post with flames about bots or warez..just don't. The copy is genuine, I've got the reciept and anyone who's ever seen me play or knows me can tell you that I don't and wouldn't ever use a bot).
I'm really really irritated.
