Racerplanet Network Forums - Cruisin' World... last moments on EA servers

Racerplanet Network Forums - Cruisin' World... last moments on EA servers

It's the end of the world as we know it, ...
Electronic Arts Online Racing went down on Oct, 20th 2003 at approx. 2:30pm. What comes after the closure of the best sim-arcade mix online racer NFS:PU? NFS:PU!
Some coders of the die-hard fanbase are working on a solution to enable statistics (lap records) in IP-to-IP races. I'm looking forward to that.

Over 400,000 Battle.net Accounts banned

Over 400,000 Battle.net Accounts banned

And my WC3 account seems to be one of them although I did not cheat, did not hack and did not flame them in public. I called their local tech support and the girl on the phone asked me whether I "hacked" in b.net or not... sigh. Other voices told me to mail in my manual to get a working, new CD-Key - pretending my case got lost.

Now that's a cool idea BUT after all I paid for TWO games (Reign Of Chaos and Frozen Throne) announcing flawless Battle.net play. Thus, I don't want to send my manual anywhere really but expect my CD-Key to be unbanned.
I never had any problems with Starcraft, yet their WC3 support is a joke of a bad joke.

Looks like I wont buy any of Blizzard's games in future. If that is how they treat their customers, I'll rather download the ISO instead of wasting money.

Update: unbanned.
