18,000 World of Warcraft accounts shut down

Blizzard has banned over 18,000 accounts over the last three months for cheating and other terms of service violations. From Blizzard, "A majority of these accounts were found to be using third-party programs to farm gold and items. Such actions can severely impact the economy of a realm and the overall game enjoyment for all players."

"We will continue to actively monitor all World of Warcraft realms in order to protect the service and its players from the negative effects of cheating. Please note that selling World of Warcraft content, such as gold, items, and characters, can result in the permanent removal of the involved accounts from World of Warcraft."

Atleast Blizzard has the balls to do something about that kinda ####, when I used to play FFXI, online auctions and people selling accounts made making money in the game and the pure enjoyment of the game go downhill. With these being my last words. "Death to those damned Chinese farmers who made my playtime hell. I love Sony and Square-Enix, but i must give Blizzard props for doing what those two couldn't."

Yeah, I really got to give probs to Blizzard entertainment for taking action for this. Before this I couldn't go 2 hours without some farmer massaging me to "buy gold at itembay.com"... more like 2 minutes.

Yeah....games like lineage dont dont #### about it...causing things to go WAY OVERPRICE....then i got perm banned for calling someone a chinese bastard...DAMN YOU FARMERS!

Im glad to see blizzard taking action on this.

i am personally sick of seeing cheaters prosper and people who dont play the game right. with blizzard taking this action WoW's economy will be more stable and gameplay will be fairer.

I actually play WOW and even thought the accounts have been shut down, there is still a big asian farmer problem. There is no reason 1 person named Xiaoxiao should be selling 5 of the exact same rare item.

I was one of the people that got banned. :| I was just a gnome though. I had a hacking program to have unlimited gold. It messed with the region encoding.

Learn some grammar, dumbass.

Dont ever speak to people.Infact. Spare us and just go somewhere to die. I dont play WoW but there was a time when I was considering it. My computer is crap for online though. I had enough fun doing Diablo and Call of Duty at friend's houses. But when people cheat in online games...its annoying as hell. They should be shot.

Supa Monkey is a retard who can't spell for shite. People who pay to play these games shouldn't have to deal with hackers screwing them over.
· Posted by  on  12/30  at  12:44 AM

that supa monkey dude sounds like a bit of a dick
· Posted by  on  12/30  at  02:21 AM

· Posted by  on  12/30  at  10:55 PM

i think there still there because they can play a athor account and still cheat why teens r so stupid they dont know they can make alot of accounts ?
· Posted by  on  12/30  at  10:59 PM

I hope they aren't Ban Happy. I just got that game.
· Posted by  on  12/30  at  11:35 PM

Well that's hot >.> Gogo Blizzard. I must agree though, WoW is way to addictive.. I'm never even going to try it. Atm I can't live without need for speed.. Psch.
· Posted by  on  12/31  at  07:30 AM

well... im not very sure what happened other than people getting banned but blizzard rocks!
so does WoW!
· Posted by  on  12/31  at  07:13 PM

I've never played WOW but, I have Xbox Live and I hate people that mod on Halo 2 just to get their rank up. They should all be banned.
· Posted by  on  12/31  at  07:55 PM

i play wc3 and hackers are everywhere 18,000 acc is nothing when you compare it to how many play bnet games nin whole when they start to purge there online games like diablo,starcraft, wow and the rest of there games then i'll give props but till that day i fear i'll have to take matters in my own hands and as you read this i'm already devoloping software that will detect any hacking and i will share this with you all
some day we will make gaming fair but till then i hope all hackers die a brutal death
· Posted by  on  01/02  at  02:05 PM

wow lol, i bet 15% are smart enough to use trial accounts like i did....
· Posted by  on  01/02  at  07:41 PM

well i gotta say Blizzard is the best when it comes to their online PC games Sony and LucasArts on the other hand, when they try to fix something they always end up screwing something else thats just as important up, I wish Blizzard ran Star Wars Galaxies then I bet it would be so much better, keep up your good work blizzard, at least you dont have to put out a new patch every couple of days like sony does.
· Posted by  on  01/02  at  11:28 PM

Wow, that is really a big amount of accounts.
