After patching Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne to 1.24b Tuesday night, August 25, 2009, I played a few AT games without issue. As of yesterday afternoon, August 26, however, I am unable to connect to Azeroth US East as I receive a message stating "Unable to connect to Battle.net. You may be trying to connect to an invalid Battle.net server. If you are using a modem, you may need to manually connect to the internet before connecting to Battle.net." I am able to connect to Lordaeron, Northrend, and Kalimdor, but not Westfall.

I cannot see why I would be temporarily restricted as I am absolutely certain I have not violated any terms of use, and nobody uses my account but me. If I am temporarily restricted however, I would appreciate to be made aware of it and if possible why.

Hi, Simulacra,

Your connection has been temporarily restricted from Battle.net. This restriction is realm-specific and can last up to 2 weeks.

It can happen for any of the following reasons:
- Using an invalid CD key
- Rapidly connecting and disconnecting to Battle.net
- Creating or joining numerous games within a short time period such as "Magic finding" or "Baal runs"
- By the use of "add-on programs"
- Chat channel abuse
- Failed login attempts
- In game latency caused by excessive spell effects

We are unable to lift these restrictions early or tell exactly why the restriction was placed on your connection.
