What does this mean?

I was in a game with friends and then I went to go get something to eat out of my kitchen and I try logging back onto bnet and it says, you are temporarily restricted from this realm (USWest) please try logging back on later.

Sounds like an IP-Ban, just wait a bit and try again.

[T3h Sorrow]

using any "hacks"?

[Dragnskull]

its just an IP ban, if you can change your IP do it and youll be set, if your like me and cant change it, you have to wait it out [it can last up to 3 days in my experience.]

[SpAwNtHeKiLlEr]

Well, like a few hours ago, I was able to get back on, and no I don't use any hacks, I believe that hacks are for losers who can't play in a fair way.

Each to their own, my friend. No need to get hostile with people who use cheats. Some people just use them to speed up the process of things (ie maphack). I don't use hacks, but I don't get pissed off if it doesn't ruin my gaming experience.

As for the "ip ban," like others have said; just wait it out. When I used to play in the past, I had come across that alot of times due to signing in and out of an account (ie transferring items to mule accounts). But it could have been for a number of other reasons as well. That was just the most common reason for me.
