WTF does this mean?

[Dank420]

When i try to log in to D2 i enter my pass and it takes me to the character screen but instead of my chars being there it just says "Your connection has been temporarilly restricted from this realm. Please try to log in at another time"

WTF is that?

Thank You,
Dank

It means Blizzard was like "Oh no you di'in't!" and "You best git yo ass outa here, foo'!" But they'll forgive you later and let you back on. They just need some time to cool down is all.

ummmm... but i didnt do anything... I was doing pindle runs and then it kicked me out.... and wont let me get back in

[The Mob]

oh yes you were doing something.
you were botting.
just set the cooldown time on the pindle bot a bit longer to avoid this.
basically, blizzard temp banned you b/c you were creating games way too fast

[Dank420]

i really wasnt botting, i dont even have a bot or know how to get one... I jsut started this game like a week ago..... i guess i was creating games too fast tho.. all i was doin was killin pindle and remaking the game....

how long am i banned for and is this like a 3 strike system where if i get caught again i get banned for good?

Also, who can i talk to to prove that i wasnt botting... i rly dont wanna lost my accnt

usually it onlys lasts for about an hour but in extreme occasions it happens for up to 3 days. basically it happens when you join too many games too fast

[The Mob]

ok sorry, i was misunderstanding you. ya, what arc said. you cant create too many games too fast. since it only take a couple of seconds to kill pindle, you could theoretically create 60 games in the space of an hour. by blizzards count that is way too much.

Sometimes restarting your computer can get rid of this. Or logging into your account on a different CD key can also help bypass the temp ban.

very simple, since u were doing runs, u made games too fast. wait at LEAST 10 seconds between each game or the game will kick u out for a period of time. u just have to wait.
