got a temp checking versions ban atm
through my own fault ofcourse
without mentioning the word


how long do they last though, 24 hours for most or can they last longer?

i forgot these bans existed, i thought it was just a ''wait in line to create game'' ban

i've had them be 1 month
stop trying to login and wait 24 hours before you try again was my usual go to, if that doesn't work wait 7 days and try login

ye i hope mine isnt as long, as for not attempting to log in until it goes, ive never heard of that, in previous attempts ive always tried to login a few times, then been succesful instantly when my ban is over

ive never heard of anything like a ban time refreshing when u attempt to login

Connection restrictions in Diablo II (2000) can be applied for behaviors such as:

Attempting to use an invalid CD-key
Attempting to use a hacked or modified game client to log in to Battle.net
Using unauthorized third-party programs or addons
Connecting to Battle.net using a business network, cloud hosting service, VPN, or proxy
Rapidly connecting and disconnecting from Battle.net
Switching between accounts or characters too quickly
Leaving and joining games too quickly
Scrolling through skill selection too quickly using the mouse wheel
Repeatedly leaving an area and coming back to change shop or gambling items
Repeatedly using a spell with no cast delay such as Amplify Damage or Glacial Spike
Repeatedly using an incorrect password
Harassing other players
Advertising inappropriate website urls
Spamming text or chat commands such as /whisper or /whois
Connecting to Battle.net with more than 8 clients
Repeated login attempts after a restriction may extend the restriction.

I once had an 2 or 3 days ban (bc of really weird circumstances^^) that got extended to two weaks bc of refreshing... at least that's what I was told from custom services

thats the weird thing, people dont know the extent of their bans which is why they try to refresh, so as for customer services telling you that you got an extended ban because you kept trying to login is really stupid, because how is anyone meant to know exactly how long their ban lasts for
unless they have a message on your d2 home screen that says ''you are temporarily banned for 3 days'' for example.

completely agreeing with your point...

He’s not lying I had a temp ban last days because of retrying so often

It really is a bad system...
