    Soldier Name: WingsOfEgypt

    Link to BF4DB Soldier Profile: https://bf4db.com/profile/WingsOfEgypt

    Soldier Claim Status: Yes

    Appeal: It's been well over 3 years since i touched this game. After hearing it dropped on Steam, my friends started playing, so i thought i would try for the Nostalgia. Unfortunately, that's not exactly how it went. Instead, i'm running around filing appeals to secure me account again. Ban says linked account, i have literally NO idea what that means.

    Now, i know it's been said hackers also use such excuses such as "my account was stolen", so i'll go ahead and void that excuse, since i don't even know what happened with this game much less my player profile to begin with. I don't know what else to say. I'm now here after having re-changed ALL passwords, updating ALL information both on EA, Origin, and even my email. I've gone all in to ensure optimal security of my accounts. In the meantime, i'm also trying to get in contact with PB to get answers.

    After searching emails, i did find this image about a year ago.

     Again, not sure what else to say. It's been 3 years, and i just wanted some quick nostalgia, but if it's not possible to get my account back, then so be it. The Ban says linked account, so i'm not even sure how someone was capable of linking my account to one of theirs for their pleasure. I just need to get this resolved. If you need any evidence i've never hacked before, simply taking a glance at my battle history is enough. I've beat both BF3 and BF4 campaigns, i've leveled up past lvl 80, my K/D is probably average as heck, and i've pretty much always been a casual gamer. Here's just a basic shot of Battles.unknown.png


    Appreciate your time and effort, looking forward to a response.

    I’m gonna guess you’re not from Russia right?

    Nope. When i played i lived in Louisville, Kentucky. When i checked the Email from Origin/EA, the link for changing my password ended in "RU" and when clicking it, the page was entirely in Russian. So uhhh, i'm gonna go ahead and guess off a whim that the culprit is probably in Russia.

    Sorry for the bad news.

    Based on the evidence provided and what we can see on our end, your account has been compromised at some point, and was used to cheat during that time. Because cheats were used on that account, we are unable to lift your ban and the appeal is denied.


    However, we have marked your account as being a “Hacked Account”, and we will not link you to this account in the future if you purchase a new copy of the game. You can read more about our linked account and banning policies at BF4DB.com/banning. 


    You have a few options if you wish to continue to play on this account. You can play on Official servers, servers not running the BF4DB plugin, or ask individual server administrators to whitelist your account. Alternatively, you can purchase a new copy of the game.


    If you go down that route, make sure you purchase a copy from a reputable source so you don’t accidentally purchase a stolen account which could lead to other issues. Also, always make sure to use to use Two-Factor Authentication on your account as well as a strong password.
