Blizzard axes 1500 cheating accounts in World of Warcraft
Aaron McKenna writes in The Inquirer:
BLIZZARD IS in serious danger of becoming the darlings of anti-cheat vigilantes everywhere.
After reporting only earlier this month that they banned no less than 36,000 Battle.net accounts, which covers games like StarCraft and Diablo II, they have now waded into their big MMORPG World of Warcraft and beat the hell out of about 1,500 accounts, wiping them clean off their servers for cheating.
"As part of our continuing effort to keep World of Warcraft free from abuse, we have permanently banned more than 1500 accounts during the last several weeks which were involved in the use of cheats and/or hacks using third-party software or were otherwise violating our Terms of Use. We will continue to take an aggressive stance to ensure that the gaming environment remains an enjoyable place for our customers by actively pursuing those who would seek to violate the principle of fair-play, as well as breach our Terms of Use and policies in this way."
