Blizzard Shuts Down 18,000 Cheaters
Blizzard said it shut down more than 18,000 accounts that were using illegal software to cheat in its immensely popular video game World of Warcraft.
In the game, players spend hours collecting virtual gold and other goods that advance the player’s status. But some players use unauthorized programs to collect gold easily, then sell it for cash on third-party sites like eBay.
By banishing the players, Blizzard has taken a hard stance on the issue. Some online video game companies ignore the practice of “gold farming” or actively encourage it.
