hardware ban??

is it possible to get hardware ban? i used to play Warrock back then about 2-3 years ago, and i was hacking so much, but as i kept hacking, i never read the updates and stuff, and so 1 day i login, and all my accounts are banned..so i was wondering if its possible to get hardware ban or is it just IP ban? but i have a dif IP now than i had before..so i was j/w because i want to get back into Warrock..

well that happened to me not so long ago, (about month and 1/2) anyhow, i unistalled WR called my isp had my IP reset and renewed. flushed my dns, then i reinstalled WR, and my new accounts worked fine with no bans or anything.
