[BNet] Thousands of Accounts Banned

Just a day after Blizzard made their statement about cheating in Diablo III, they have banned thousands of accounts in violation of the ToS.

We recently issued a round of account suspensions and bans to several thousand Diablo® III players who were in violation of the Battle.net® Terms of Use for cheating and/or using botting or hacking programs while playing. In addition to undermining the spirit of fair play that’s essential to everyone’s enjoyment of the game, botting, hacking, and other such exploitive behavior can contribute to stability and performance issues with the Battle.net service. As always, maintaining a stable, safe, and fun online-gaming experience for legitimate players is a top priority for us, and we'll be continuing to keep watch on Battle.net and take action as needed.

[Raziel]

Awesome cinematics & characters, but I heard diablo 3 sucks..

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

they hv nerfed a lot of things...
happy and sad about the nerfs... coz it could now be less challenging.. but boss fights are sure to get tough now.

I failed miserably with Act 2 champion packs.. hitting the enrage timer.
After a lot of theorycrafting, i was able to take on champion packs with ease with same gear...!!
however i would kite them from far far away places to way back to town in act 2..as i slowly killed them before enrage.. LOL
kiting with wizard just seems so much fun!

[fullmetal]

Not sure when flipkart or nextworld or other e-tailer would restock. If you dont want to wait and if the box+dvd doesn't matter to you, go ahead and get it from Blizzard store for 90SGD. Purchase over within a min and start installer download right away or play if you got the installer already!

EDIT:
Play-asia seems to have in stock. Says free shipping to India but not sure if item clears customs or gets held. Check their FAQ or contact customer care to make things clear if you are going to order.

Anybody tried the 'Auction House'?? What exactly is it?

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Anybody tried the 'Auction House'?? What exactly is it?

That's gotta be the most awesome question I've ever heard. Good one!!!

[cyborg47]

Yeah yeah..got the sarcasm, I know what the Auction house is, but I wanted to hear about it from someone who used the feature. I thought paying real money in-game items is stupid, or may I don't know how things works, anybody here who's a little polite, can answer that question?

Yeah I've used it. Not the RMAH though. Gold AH only. If you have a good idea of what the items listed there are really worth, its actually cheaper to find and buy items from there than from in-game merchants and/or craft from blacksmith. Some will have insane crappy prices but some will be really jaw-dropping cheap deals. I got a belt and 2 rings for a total of less than 10000 gold. All rares, of course. But bottomline is you have to keep an eye out for good items based on your stats. And remember to farm lots of gold. Hope this helps.

Today I bought gear worth 70000 gold in total. My damage just doubled to 950-something, armor increased to 870-something and 3.4k life. Lvl 35 Wizard.

My bro also bought gear worth 80000 gold total. He has 521 DPS, 2k armor and 4.4k life. Lvl 33 Monk.

[cyborg47]

Cool, Gold AH is fine, but don't you think spending real money on the in-game items that you already bought with the game, is so stupid?

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Its fine for people who don't have that much time to spend playing games. A coin has two sides, mate. Say for example, you wanna sell an item in the RMAH, then you've gotta have some love for the person who buys it. For us, it seems all stupid and all, but its different for everyone.

Having said that I'm not using RMAH and so I think all those people are idiots. Its only a damn game. However, things change.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

people have lots of money to throw away, the rich guys, wait until you get to see such guys...
you seen no sh1t ... how they spend money... 250$ is nothing, its just like what 10 rs is to you and me...

i totally approve of rmah, and wait till pvp, it will just get hotter, and items will sell in excess of 1000 usd outside the rmah..

[007]

Those who are yet to purchase your copy of D3, go get it from Flipkart (3999) or nextworld (3799). In stock now!

[cyborg47]

Four Thousand INR?!?!

[007]

Four Thousand INR?!?!

What did u expect it to be mate? 3799 has been the standard price of normal edition right from the start. Flipkart has increased the price now though. And if it helps - this is slightly cheaper than buying the digital version from Blizzard for 90SGD. My friend ended up paying 90SGD+forex charges = 4100 a month ago. Now that SGD has also increased you will be charged 4200-4300 for sure.
