So..... after the little "One of the Chosen" announcement on the D3 forums, a whole bunch of people got banned, and I heard that those users will ALSO be banned from logging into Diablo 3, the actual GAME.
I know this isnt the case with the WoW forums and the game, and was VERY surprised to hear this, is there any truth to this?
I would have thought that after the EA news frenzy earlier this year that this would not even be close to a possiblity.....
I know nothing about this rumor/news, but I will say this: banning someone from playing Diablo is a lot different from banning a WoW player. Any WoW player represents a steady influx of cash, and a Diablo player, not necessarily.

I grew up gaming without internet forums. The entire phenomenon of being upset with a game developer makes no sense to me. No sense. I cannot imagine spending my time and energy being upset about something I choose to do for recreation.
you really think blizzard would really act like a child and ban people for speaking their minds? they're one of the greatest gaming companies if not the greatest. they wouldnt take it to heart if people got mad over something. people will get over and blizzard will just shrug off the remarks made to them
I heard Blizzard would infect your game account with the anti-loot-virus when you missbehave on their formus. This virus basically removes all loot drops that has a potential use for your character.

care to elaborate on your rumor as to WHY people were banned? there are far more controversial things blizzard has done and they haven't banned anyone for doing anything they don't normally ban people for
also getting banned on the forums never gets you banned from the game afaik
I doubt they'd be banned from the game. They don't even deserve to be banned from the forums, as the whole "One of the Chosen" FoS idea is completely stupid.What exactly have they done to deserve a FoS?
Getting into open beta, let alone closed beta, is reward enough in itself. To then give the lucky few who got into closed beta an extra reward is a kick in the nuts to people who didn't even get the chance to get into any form of beta.
I'm not one who cares for "achievements" in videogames (especially ones as superficial as this), but this was always going to rub "the have-nots" the wrong way, when "the haves" are given a gift, as a reward, for being given a gift. It's ridiculous and Blizzard were dumb to do it.
no matter what you say in a FORUM you will never be banned from the GAME> only IN-game incidents can get you banned from the actual game. i know because im banned on all blizz forums and i can still play all the games. lmao

Well, I actually saw the thread this morning on the D3 forums from a guy posting this exact question, on his WoW account (lvl 1, heh).
The thread was deleted, I am not sure if it was because of him posting on his alt account, or if it was because of the question.
Today being launch day, I did not want to "rock the boat" as it were on the offical forums, hence my asking this here.

And you my dear sir just fell victim to trolling.
I'd give away my FoS to somebody else if I could have; it isn't the end of the world.
