"Blizzard closes a large number of Battle.net accounts tied to use of cheat programs.
On its Battle.net Web site, Blizzard has announced that more than 112,000 Diablo II accounts have been closed as a part of its aggressive campaign to prevent cheating on its online service. These closed accounts were tied to the use of a hack or cheating program, and the CD keys associated with the accounts will be disabled in the case of repeat offenders. Blizzard also noted that it has identified accounts that have used a third-party map-hack program, and these accounts will be closed if use of the map-hack continues. Blizzard asks Battle.net players to report instances of cheating by sending e-mail to [email protected].

That's a lot of accounts, with more than a few of them probably having the high level pc's on the ladders.
Could mean a huge change on D2, as well as get rid of some of the l337 kids on there.
