Beware stronger penalties

Blizzard has taken a new stance to help combat cheaters on their Battle.net. In addition to identifying and banning more than 350,000 Diablo II players who were using illegal third-party hacks, there are some stringent new consequences that come with those bans.

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.
