Hi everyone!

So I had an extensive conversation with a few people on discor last night and the following seems to decrease the chances of being banned.

Initial Account advice


1) Having the original email and Artix account (plus that email if it is separate) that the account is linked to is one of the most sure fire way of ensuring that the account does not get banned. You don't need to use a vpn here as you have access to the original email and can inform them that you've moved country. But you can use a vpn to hide the location but it isn't necessary.

2) If the original email is not available to be acquired and the email isn't changeable, and the Artix account is lost, you should not buy the account as it will probably be banned within a few days to a week.

3) However, If advice 2 is true for you, then you should ask the seller what country they are in and use a vpn to cover your tracks. But there is still a significant risk of your account being banned. only buy that account if you really want it.

4) If the original email is not available to be acquired but the email is changeable, and the artix account is lost, You should change the email then not log in for a couple of days. Just like with advice 1 you can claim you've moved country however, you do not have access to the original email which increases the risk of being banned significantly. Using a vpn here is the best way to go as it reduces chances of being flagged.

5) If the original email is not available to be acquired but the email is changeable, but there is no artix account linked to the account it will be almost as safe as advice 1. You can use a vpn here which would lower the risk quite significantly, but if you dont there is still an overall lower risk to being banned here.

Payment and when to log

1b) Whatever the above applies to you, do not upgrade immediately. I understand some people would like to buy acs on the account in order to name change but this significantly increases the risk of being banned. Once you have access to the account, waiting a month minimum to upgrade either member ship or acs is advised.

2b) Be patient, the longer you wait to log in the better. From a day to a month and more, if they have logged in recently and suddenly the ip instantly appears in another country it increases the risk of being banned exponentially.

3b) After following 1b and 2b, log in, name change and remove all friends.

4b) Don't be stupid and tell anyone that you've bought an account. Unless you truly trust this person this could easily backfire on you.

5b) You'd think staying lowkey is best but joining an active guild reduces suspicion massively. Especially a massive guild that has active player's. With the name change, you could be like a new person and thus the risk of being banned is reduced significantly.

6) Try not to get into trouble like being muted, or having payment problems as this can circle around and get you banned. Do not apply to be in any competitions or giveaways because this too increases risk.
