The team note these decisions to ban ”are final.” First timers get their CD keys ”suspended for 30 days”. They want snitches for their ”hacks team”.
”We’ve recently banned over 320,000 Warcraft III and Diablo II accounts that were found to be violating the Battle.net Terms of Use. If this is a first offense, the CD key associated with the banned account will be suspended for 30 days, while repeat offenders will see their keys banned permanently. All account ban decisions are final,” posted Blizzard.
”We would like all players to remember that abuse of unintended mechanics and/or use of third party programs is a violation of the agreement made when signing on to Battle.net, and can subject your account to disciplinary action up to and including a permanent ban of its access to the service.”
”These types of activities can severely impact the stability of our servers, and we’ll continue to aggressively monitor Battle.net in order to protect the service and its players from the harmful effects of cheating.”
”Many account closures come as the direct result of tips emailed to our hacks team by legitimate Battle.net users,” they added. Blizz ask that anyone who finds another using a hack to contact their hacks team immediately - this is the good kind of squealing.
Have you ever been the victim of a dirty Warcraft III or Diablo II cheater?
