For years, the heroes of the Alliance and Horde have fought against the evils in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms,
against the demons of the Burning Legion in Outland, and against each other -- all the while unaware that a threat
more dangerous than any they had yet encountered was preparing to make its move in the icy continent of Northrend.
Now the Lich King, Arthas Menethil, has emerged from Icecrown Citadel to claim the world as his own. Heroes of the
Alliance and Horde gather in Northrend to make a stand against the malevolent being that dares to declare himself
Azeroth’s one true king... and seeks to scour all life from the world.

As part of our continued effort to ensure a fair and fun online experience for all Battle.net players, we have expanded our efforts to remove cheaters from StarCraft and Diablo II. We have identified and closed over 350,000 StarCraft and Diablo II accounts which were found to be using third-party hacks.
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.
