Numerous additional 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. Please note that repeat offenders risk having their CD keys disabled, which would result in permanent removal from Battle.net for their copies of Diablo II.


We have also identified those accounts with which a “map-hack” program is being used. Map-hack programs give players who use them unfair advantages over other players. As with any third-party program, using them to affect play over Battle.net violates our End User License Agreement. Accounts that continue to be used with a map-hack program are subject to closure, and the CD keys with which those accounts are being used could be disabled.


We will continue to monitor Battle.net for cheating and take action as needed. To report additional instances of hacking or cheating, please contact us at hacks@blizzard.com. A false report filed by one player against another will not result in the actions described above.


As always, thank you for your continued support; with your help we have been able to keep Battle.net a fun and safe place to play Blizzard games.

funny thing is, they cant tell who is using maphack
its client side like show eq, there is no way for them to tell and thats why they didnt ban people, just threatened to ban the maphack users.

Actually they can tell that you are using some of the map hacks, they aren't totally un-invasive
