4月22日，在BN战网发生一件让人匪夷所思的事情，在正常游戏的情况下，中国很多选手的战绩被清零和封号，其中以当时排名BN{dy}的 AgFox_Kyo为代表，根据他叙述，他并没有使用任何的xx软件，他同时也表示，排名靠前的中国选手都被战绩清零，但是使用韩国代理的 WE.Pepsi.Like和 MaN_CooLX!an并没有清零，因此玩家也纷纷表示本次战绩清零中中国选手的IP有被恶意清零的可能性。

　　昨日，暴雪对这一事件给出了官方答案，原因就是中国选手在比赛中使用了第三方软件Gearnt Mod（变速齿轮）。

　　变速齿轮：变速齿轮是一个神奇的改变游戏速度的程序。他是世界上{dy}个，也是目前{zh0}的改变Windows游戏速度的程序。他几乎能改变任何Windows游戏的速度。我还没有发现任何其他程序能改变，而变速齿轮不能改变的游戏。并且在效果上，例如变速后画面的平滑性（这同时会影响游戏的操作性）、能使游戏达到的最快或最慢速度、使用的方便性、运行的稳定性等都是{zh0}的。
　　除了游戏，变速齿轮事实上也能改变任何时间相关的程序的速度，例如视频播放、Flash、网页等。总之他是一个用途广泛而且相当有趣的程序。

　　暴雪官方原文如下：

　　Hello,

　　Thanks for contacting Blizzard Technical Support, my name is Jon.? The Warcraft III account “” was detected using Gearnt Mod, a third*****y program (hack) on Battle.net. I am sorry but I regret to inform you this account is now permanently closed.

　　Any third-***** program that is designed to affect the way the user interacts with Battle.net is considered a hack program. This includes seemingly harmless third-***** utilities that work with the game to provide functions that were not included by the game designers. While many of these utilities might not have been created to disrupt the balance of the game, they alter the original design of the program.

　　Until the account expires; you will receive a message that the account has been closed. Once the account expires, it will be possible for anyone to create a new account with the same name. We cannot delete or expire the account manually. We will not be able to retrieve any characters, items, or account information (including Friends List).

　　If you are receiving the error message, “Your CD-Key is disabled.” when trying to join or create a realm game, this indicates the CD-Key installed has been temporarily or permanently restricted from playing on Battle.net. First time offenders are restricted from Battle.net play for one month and repeat offenders are restricted from realm play permanently. Users who are unsure if their CD-Key was temporarily or permanently restricted will have to wait one month from the time the CD-Key was restricted to determine the status.? If the CD-Key is still disabled after a month the restriction will be permanent.

　　We regret having to employ such extreme measures; however, certain activities (as detailed in the Battle.net Terms of Use Agreement and/or End User License Agreement of the game) have impaired the game play experience of the community as a whole and a severe response continues to be warranted. We will continue to monitor Battle.net for players who choose not to behave in a manner that promotes a positive gaming experience for others.

　　We will not be able to supply any additional information beyond what is indicated in this email.

　　Sincerely,

　　Jon D.
