ESO account and forum account they're separate accounts?

TDVM · June 15

Are they different accounts or if a forum account gets banned/warned then the players account will also get banned/warned? Who can give a definitive answer?

There's plenty of banned forum users still happily playing the game. Go wild!

If you get a forum warning/ban that will apply negatively for your crown gifting request unless you have done the request long prior to the warning/ban. Talking from my own experience.

I think the only people who can give a definitive answer are ZOS employees. Maybe @ZOS_Kevin can help?

Same forum and game account name, though?

I mean... a forum account is associated with a game account. Afaik at least, you *must* login to an actual ESO account on the support site in order to request forum access. So I personally wouldn't risk my ESO account by going nuts on the forums. But, no one can give a definitive answer except zos.

Your ESO account is associated with your forum account.

Does it mean that it is possible to get ESO Game Account lockout if ESO ESO Forum Account lockout has been obtained?

I'm.... not sure I'd expect them to specify regarding that question.

I expect that the scope of the ban (game account, forum account, xbox account, etc) depends on what they did to get banned.

Yes, of course. But I seriously doubt they're going to give chapter and verse on that.

He is correct that they are associated, but they are still separate, which is what the original question asked. They do not use the same username or password unless we choose to set it to the same.

TaSheen · June 16

I'd bet there's a "paper trail" (in a digital setting, so not an exact ref of course) to link everything together....

They're not going to lock you out of the game just for trolling or cursing but obviously if you go really far like try to start a witch hunt against specific players or members of the dev team they know who you are.

but what if you have one forum account and 11 eso accounts? what then?

ClowdyAllDay · June 16

AND if one is smart, don't use the same email or handle from your eso account with your forum account. just good security practice.
