* A ban for whatever reason only affects the one DisplayID+CDKey you have been using and not the whole blizzard account. * You are able to remove a CD-Key from your Blizzard-Acc and transfer it to another * Other players can't find out your blizzard-acc or if two bnet-ids belong to the same blizz-acc * You can protect individual IDs with a PW, so your brother whom you let play SC2 a bit on your cdkey cannot use your IDs. * Important Actions (CD-Key related and id management) require a master pw or possibly email confirmation. And their TOS are getting more restrictive every revision too -_- | ||

but at the same time... it seems like an iron clad way of making sure only 1 person owns a specific cd key... i mean i share my wc3 cd key w/ my friend cus we live half the world from each other but this... iono... if they wanted they could totally restrict ur cd key from being palyed by any1 else and if u type up the address correctly they could go in for some serious legal issues | ||

If you are caught hacking in War3, there should be no reason why Blizzard would prevent you from playing Starcraft or WoW. That punishment would be completely over the top, in my opinion. As for the latter, I think it would be pretty convenient to have a Battle.net Account Friends List that covered all games. That way, you would be able to choose who gets to know about new accounts when you make them. Of course, it shouldn't apply to any and all players, only your mutual friends included on your Battle.net Account Friends List. | ||

No one will ever know your bnet account name unless you tell them. Just like with your wow account. You will likely create actual SC2 display names similar to the way you've always created Bnet game accounts, they will have no connection to your bnet account that others can see. Picture it like the relationship between wow account and wow characters. No one can see what account the characters were created on etc. It doesn't really change anything, its just blizzard getting on board the natural progression of software moving from physical ownership to licensed ownership basically | ||

Of course free software people must really hate this idea, but it's really the movement from product->service. We are no longer paying to have a physical copy of the software they wrote - instead, we are paying for the ability to use their software and their services. It's a been a subtle shift, but probably will continue as developers rethink how their products are being used. | ||

MOC i will take these rofl u guys do realize that the programs that most likely both of u run (chaos launcher) and any subsequent programs, non-blizzard made, hereafter that is an attachment to the games made by people like MOC is considered "Hacking" rite? Also a ban on the CD key does not have to mean that u hacked. IF u violate ANY of blizzard games' terms and use then they have the right to ban u from bnet for it... can u guys seriously say that you never broke any of their terms of service? no rite? getting banned on all accnts or w.e for breaking terms and service is the equivalent of getting ur driving license evoked forever for going over 60 mph on the highway... EDIT: oops sry for the mistakes edited | ||

No, the ToS is not a legal contract. They can ban you. They can't sue you. And the Blizzard private servers sue thing a while ago... it goes beyond the simple ToS, it's a legal copyright issue or something like that. | ||

EDIT: they can actually bring you to a trial for breaking their ToS Re-read Excal's post.. He's saying it WOULD NOT make sense to ban all your cd-keys for an infringement on one of them. | ||

First, you have to choose a language for the game, but later on you are fixed into the language you chose... Second, some cool stuff isn't ready to download, like WC2 and D1, and the Linux version of SC... I mean, you can even download the Mac version, whats about with the Linux one? Quite sad to me, but in the other hand they still build it up at the moment. | ||
