Blizzard banned more than 5000 players

**Huor** · Oct 2nd 2010

Blizzard announced that they have banned more than 5000 players from their servers. Those players have cheated the multiplayer game as well as used hack to get advantages against those players who play on an honest way. They even announced that they will proceed with banning players who are cheating. Its unfair and they wont allow it any further.
You might think that 5000 players is a lot. Actually its not. Back in 2008 Blizzard even banned more than 350.000 players from Starcraft and Diablo II games.

I think a good step to make gaming a better experience without getting defeated by cheaters all the time.

Very well

Awesome! I have played over 500 games and I am platinum in all leagues, and there have been a few games where I was sure I was being maphacked. Glad they are working to make a better experience for people who actually play the game.

Platinum ... Spiky is a newb in SC2 in my view.... now with another reason

You could duel eachother

i wonder how they could ban somebody from diablo 2

**Huor** · Oct 3rd 2010

i think via battle.net. Same as today.

**SWAT_OP-R8R** · Oct 3rd 2010

diablo is singleplayer and from a time before battlenet

Spiky- · Oct 3rd 2010

?? what are you talking about Op, battle.net was launched with the release of Diablo in 1997 and ever since supported all of their releases

**Huor** · Oct 3rd 2010

i 2nd that. I have proved that today - fetched my old diablo game and played a few levels. Still a nice game although meanwhile crappy resolution of 800 x 600 at max

hmmm k

lol this is a VERY first time that i see this so i must quote this.

Also i played Diablo at Battle net last year i think (i have original-legal game with 'Lord of Destruction" expansion) Idk how many times i played this game, and as Huor said still addictive after all this years....Incredible!

Freelancer has the same surprising level

It's simple , and perfect.

Blizzard is going to court and accouses the three Hackers "Permaphrost," "Cranix," and "Linuxawesome" of having devloped Cheats and Hacks for Starcraft and distributed those cheats and hacks amongst several other players. These approaches are strictly against the end user license agreement.

Good move from Blizzard. Games are developed to be played and not to be cheated through.

Michael · Oct 19th 2010

Permaphrost... I know that name from somewhere O.o

**SWAT_OP-R8R** · Oct 19th 2010

i should start going to court then

Spiky- · Oct 19th 2010

they forgot about Ownage aka. 'Stabguy'... some russian hacker that brings out hacks since Wc3 ... but then again hes from Russia; gl on taking legal actions against that dude

Michael · Oct 19th 2010

It'd be easy... but maybe he did nothing at all or nothing important at SC2 if the others made it before him or her ?
