Hello everyone. This guide covers most ways Blizzard can link your new account to your old (banned) accounts. The only way to truly be safe is to cover all avenues of detection. Please note that this guide is for informational purposes only and holds no warranty of any kind. I am not responsible for any loss, damage or injury caused by, or related to, the use of any information contained on this guide at any time. That means if your cat dies after you read this guide, it isn’t my fault. A guide un-banning a banned account is coming soon.
First, reinstall your operating system. Yes, reinstalling your OS is important to gaining a new identity in World of Warcraft. Although Blizzard’s detection methods are not known by us; we can only guess that they use your computer’s SUID to link your accounts together. The only way to change your unique SUID is to completely wipe and reinstall your operating system. If you are really against this step or do not have your operating system disk, just skip it. But please don’t, I highly recommend changing your SUID.
Next up, change your IP address. This is pretty self explanatory. I always change my IP address after getting banned. Although it is not known if Blizzard uses IP addresses to flag accounts, I would highly recommended you change yours. First off, take note of what your IP address currently is. The easiest way to change your IP address is to simply turn off your modem for about five minutes. If that doesn’t work, try keeping your modem’s power cord unplugged overnight. Go to the above link to see if your IP address actually changed. If none of the above changed your IP address, try calling your internet service provider and asking them to change it for you. Also, check out this guide for more methods.
Reinstall World of Warcraft. Blizzard could easily link your new account to your banned account though an old WoW installation. This does not mean just clearing out your WTF folder. This means reinstall World of Warcraft using a new CD.
Last but not least, creating a new World of Warcraft account. Give yourself a pat on the back, you are almost done! Now it is finally time to create a new, fresh, out of the box World of Warcraft account. You can always avoid startup costs by registering a trial account. I highly recommend that you do not use the same information as your old account. That means you should either use a friend or relatives information, or make it up yourself. Also, do not use the same payment method. Either pay with gamecards or use a visa giftcard.
