What is an Error 45?
Error 45 is a message that appears if your account has been suspended. There are several circumstances that can result in an account suspension:
- The account may have been caught violating the terms of service.
- The account may have violated the rules of conduct in the game or on the forum.
- The account may have been flagged for using a third-party program to cheat or gain an advantage in the game.
- In some cases, the account is banned due to a confirmed hacking attempt. If we detect that your account has been compromised, we will try to ban it as quickly as possible to prevent any tampering with your characters or inventory.

Note that the message and duration of the ban varies based on the offense. If, for whatever reason, you have questions about a suspension, you are encouraged to contact our support team for more details.

Note that we will never disclose information about any other account than your own; if you have a friend, partner, or spouse with questions about a suspension, they will need to contact the support team themselves.
