Blizzard Deletes 112,000 Diablo II Accounts

Posted by simoniker on from the lack-of-prospering-hits-cheats dept.

pixelblur writes "An update over at fan site DiabloII.Net points out that Blizzard has deleted 112,000 Battle.net accounts for Diablo II." The official post from the Battle.net team in part reads: "Numerous.. ..accounts were tied to the use of a hack or cheat program while playing Diablo II on Battle.net. In keeping with our aggressive stance against cheating, we have permanently closed over 112,000 of these accounts and documented the CD keys with which they were used." This clean-up comes ahead of the forthcoming 1.10 patch for the seminal title.

    I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if 112,000 voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
