my magic 8 ball says,
1. retroactive ban to when you previously played
2. redownload copies shouldn't ban you, if "1" doesn't happen.
I'm confused? Retroactive ban?

they don't ban immediately.
They ban based on information stored from previous server access.
That's how we all got banned at the same time.
We weren't online when we got banned, but we were online before.

Oh shi, so I guess it's only a matter of time

I wonder if they will ban you if you go online today with a proper eshop release on a EU 3DS.
Yes but once the seeds are released. Since the game seem to be region free, but running with a US version.not known. maybe your data wasn't in the timeframe they were storing the data.

if .cia installed copy, maybe.
seeds for US and EU not out yet.


I wouldn't be dumb enough to download it off the eshopThe seeds are identical,
but until the is on their region server, your preload isn't supposed to work.
That's what I mean.
just report back when you're banned okay, its nice to have extra playmates.
Are we gonna ignore this guy?I was just on the phone with nintendo australia..They said they could confirm its a ban and nothing they could do..
and it's gonna really suck for all the people who buy all these 3ds' used from sellers who didn't disclose that it's banned.Are we gonna ignore this guy?
This seems really unfair to those that got the gamecart early, through non-illegal means (shipping early, store accidentally sells early)
Everyone who said they've talked to Nintendo have said the same thing. That it's either a permanent ban or they don't say.Are we gonna ignore this guy?

FFS, can't you just wait for a few days to use online features ? You can still play the game offline before that. What are a few days of playing some online features gonna bring you ? You would risk your entire console being banned for that ?I wonder if they will ban you if you go online today with a proper eshop release on a EU 3DS.

I honestly doubt it would be permanent bans with online since its the one thats known to be temporary, its possible nintendo could have made it permanent but it's usually unheard of for companies to suddenly switch something from temp to perma bans.
