okay heres what happened:
cant login.
check my battlenet account, says im banned. everyone that shared my ID was also banned.
so i try going to eddie rulez's post, you know that one about battlenet+solution omfg or whatever it was, and clicking on that link and resubmitting some info.
http://www.battlenet.com.cn/support/webform.xml?locale=zh_CN&selection=WorldOfWarcraft
it says that i had already tried doing it like that and it was successful the last time.
so then instead of clicking on the 战网 one, i hit the 魔兽世界 one, and tried to submit the info with a totally different ID and everything. then i get an email:

to sum it up it just means that i have been doing "illegal money transactions" and they have decided to administer the "permanent freeze" on my account. everyone else who shared my ID also recieved this email.
I get some more emails, just asking me to resubmit the information because some of was unclear and whatnot, then i get one for "the respected customer" to please "review our actions" in this "customer satisfaction survey".
bah.
Just as a note, i looked it up and they had no restrictions on how many accounts per ID.
My theories:
We got banned for selling cards a long-ass time ago when wow costed money.
OR
my friend was talking to a chinese player and this guy was kinda getting upset that there are foreigners playing wowchina (maybe he was some kind of authority or something) and reported us, and gave the random reason as "illegal money transactions".
you have to be a chinese national in order to play wow, have to have your own ID. the fact that i went on Baidu and just looked up an ID is super illegal.
definitely came back and bit me in the ass.
i was ready to quit wow anyway; i was getting pretty bored. i dunno about my 5 other friends though.
