BLIZZARD, MAKER OF online fantasy fest World of Warcraft has recently banned 5400 players and suspended 10700 more for cheating in its Online game.
In a statement at the WoW site here (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=7874451&p=1&tmp=1#post7874451) the bans were made for using third-party programs to cheat or to farm gold and items.
Blizzard says it "banned over 5400 accounts and suspended 10700 more for participating in activities that violate the game’s Terms of Use.
The purges were necessary, it said, to protect the online economy of a realm and the "overall game enjoyment for all players".
Most of the bans come from direct tip off from players who have reported suspicious antics to the WoW informer email address.
Blizzard has said that all reports are investigated and if you grass up someone who turned out to be innocent your online life will not be affected in any way. Not, we feel, unlike Eastern Europe before the lifting of the Iron Curtain... µ
