1. Server regions are different.
According to official news from Activision Blizzard, Blizzard’s game platform Battle.net will have a mandatory mobile phone binding policy for international account registration. In addition, the server region to which the Battle.net account belongs must also be bound to the region to which the mobile phone account belongs, and the binding must be unique. In other words, if players want to register a Korean server account, they need a Korean mobile phone number, and the US server needs a US mobile phone number, and one number can only be bound to one account. However, this update policy will not take effect on old accounts.
2. The regional settings are different.
Players need to switch the region setting of Battle.net to communicate with partners on the other side of the world. Players will be able to easily expand their circle of friends, team members, and gaming communities, and forge more new bonds while enjoying an epic gaming experience. And this is just the first step, and the future is exciting.
Newly registered accounts that are not bound to a mobile phone number will not be able to play online games:
For example, online content such as "World of Warcraft" and "Call of Duty". This policy for Activision Blizzard is obviously due to the large number of cheating players in online competitive games including "Call of Duty: Warzone", and this policy is implemented in order to increase the cheating costs corresponding to these cheating players. After the introduction of this policy, players will need a new mobile phone number after their account is banned, which can clearly warn cheating players to cherish their accounts.
