It is refreshing to read that nobody is of the banned members is "whining" or starting a drama but more or less grumpy accepting the ban as the risk was known.ĭelayed bads are still "harder" to take I guess, because an instant ban prevents playing and investing more time in the first place (means if you knew you would get banned later anyway you might have stopped playing earlier). However, I don't want to buy it only to find it's also blocked via one layer or another. I'm curious because I would actually consider buying the game again to play legit and online. Maybe the game itself has a key or something that is being blocked as well. I feel like my other Xbox account is being blocked somehow, but not sure what. I tried switching my Microsoft account to a Local windows account as well, but same thing. (when I hop back to my original Xbox account, it *does* say specifically Gamertag Banned). But it's been doing this for a week so I think the server is just fine. Instead it's just can not access server or server not available. HOWEVER there's no mention of my GamerTag being banned. I went through all the solo play stuff (since you have to earn so much experience before unlocking online features), and I still can't access anything online.

I thought I would see what happens when I logged in using an old Xbox Live account (since it's a different gamertag). The messages when trying to use online features (player-made Tunes, Paints, Auction House, etc.) says my GamerTag was banned. It would make sense if it was a retroactive ban since I was playing for a while without even using the trainer.

My Gamertag was banned for 40 years as well.
