FINAL EDIT:

This is a general notice that we are posting to players as well as sending to all of our fansite contacts. This was not intended to be aimed at you specifically. We’re just trying to get the word out.

Best,

Nethaera

Received an email a couple minutes ago from Blizzard

Blizzard Entertainment has always taken cheating in any form in Blizzard games very seriously, and that's no different for StarCraft II. If a StarCraft II player is found to be cheating or using hacks or modifications in any form, then as outlined in our end user license agreement, that player can be permanently banned from the game. This means that the player will be permanently unable to log in to Battle.net to play StarCraft II with his or her account.

Playing StarCraft II legitimately means playing with an unaltered game client. Doing otherwise violates our policies for Battle.net, and it goes against the spirit of fair play that all of our games are based on. We strongly recommend that you avoid using any hacks, cheats, or exploits. Suspensions and bans of players that have used or start using cheats and hacks will begin in the near future.

Did anyone else get this? And yes this email was directly from a Blizzard employee.

Actually it doesn't, I just realized that the email was sent to my account that I had originally played Beta with. The one that I gave to PhoeNixWeRRa is a completely different email address.

Stop letting Koreans play on your account. It's cheating!

Haha, in all seriousness, why would you get this e-mail? Unless everybody is getting the e-mail... I haven't received one.

I don't have an account where I received the email. On the email I had a WoW account and SC2 Beta and the original SC.

Basically this email is saying;

Your record / rank are way too good as a Zerg player. We suspect you are cheating, as there is no way you should be ranked this high playing vs Terrans as Zerg.

User was temp banned for this post.

Stop trying to turn every thread into a balance discussion.

I hope this notice means Blizzard will start banning hackers soon.
