GFraizer has posted a new Battle.net Ban Policy Update. Blizzard just banned 350,000 Battle.net accounts caught cheating in Diablo II and StarCraft games. This is a strong message to those who are still cheating or were planning to, as well as a strong message to those who plan to play Starcraft 2 and Diablo III in the new upcoming Battle.net 2.0 where cheating measures will be tighter:

| As part of our continued effort to ensure a fair and fun online experience for all Battle.net players, we have expanded our efforts to remove cheaters from StarCraft and Diablo II. We have identified and closed over 350,000 StarCraft and Diablo II accounts which were found to be using third-party hacks.
The Diablo II CD keys associated with the closed Diablo II accounts are now restricted from playing on Battle.net for approximately 30 days. Repeat offenders will have their accounts closed and their CD keys permanently banned from Battle.net. As a reminder, we reserve the right to close the accounts and ban the CD keys of players who are caught cheating on Battle.net. Cheating ruins the game experience for legitimate players, and we will not tolerate it. |

After an event like this, it’s always funny to see a lot of players complaining they got banned yet swear they didn’t use third party programs.
I think this is a timely reminder for everyone.

Still though, if you look at the Diii.net news item on this, the situation for D2 players IS slightly different, where people modify files in order to mule properly…
Very true Kalos. I figured he left or something because he was quite the webbie "back in the days".
