content in World of Warcraft is the property of Blizzard, and Blizzard does
not allow "in game" items to be sold for real money. Accordingly, Blizzard
Entertainment will take any and all actions necessary to stop this behavior.
Not only do we believe that it is illegal, but it also has the potential to
damage the game economy and overall experience for the many thousands of
others who play World of Warcraft for fun. In order to promote a fun and
fair environment for all our customers, we are actively investigating those
individuals who engage in this inappropriate activity and reserve the right
to take legal action against these individuals to protect World of Warcraft
for all those who "play by the rules." If you are found to be selling
in-game property (such as coins, items, or characters), for real money, you
will lose your characters and accounts, and Blizzard Entertainment reserves
its right to pursue legal action against you as well.
We also want to remind potential buyers in the game to please refrain from
buying in-game property with real money. We understand the temptation to
purchase better items, but Blizzard, and not the seller, does own all
in-game property. In addition, we feel that characters can find ample
equipment and money within the game through their own adventuring and
questing. Please understand that if you do purchase in-game property from
sellers on eBay and personal sites, we may temporarily suspend your account,
and at the very least, delete the offending items.
Thank you for understanding our position. Blizzard Entertainment is
committed to maintaining the atmosphere of fair play and fun in World of
Warcraft.

EU - Halloween Contest Winners Announced!
Blizzard Europe recently said they would announce the winners. It seemed
Blizzard passed this date and had yet not announced them, but have no Worries as
they have now been announced.
There are Three winners from the Three regions making a combination of Nine
Winners. Congratulations to the Winners!

We would also like to take this opportunity to announce a bounty of 10 Gold
for the capture, dead or alive, of the notorious Goblin called Despiris
Cubemantle on account of vandalism, arson, misappropriation of photographic
equipment, and general mischief. Warning! Cubemantle is armed and extremely
annoying.

Bot-Using Accounts Banned
We have recently verified that certain individuals were using third party "bot"
programs to automate their characters in World of Warcraft. A bot is used to
play an account non-stop, allowing its user to accumulate money, items, and
experience without actually requiring the user to be physically present to play
the game. The use of bots is a violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use
and is absolutely prohibited. Therefore, the accounts identified as having used
bots have been banned.
Blizzard Entertainment is committed to maintaining an environment of fair play
in World of Warcraft. As stated previously, the company has a zero-tolerance
policy for cheating or hacking of any kind. Players caught using a bot program
to automate any of their characters' actions will have their characters removed
and their account banned. They will not receive a warning. Over 300 accounts
have already been banned for offenses of this nature.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you suspect
someone of using a bot, or wish to report other instances of cheating, please
email us at hacks@blizzard.com or submit
a GM ticket in-game. Thank you again for your continued support.

i guess they could have put this along with the speed hack into one, but the
truth is they are two different issues that are in conflict with the WoW's
TOS...

Accounts Banned for Speed Hacking
We wanted to take this time to make an announcement about a serious hacking
violation in World of Warcraft, one for which we have zero tolerance.
Certain individuals have been identified as using speed hacks to accelerate
their characters. This goes against the theme of fair play that we have
instituted for the game, and is in clear violation of the World of Warcraft
Terms of Use.
Those individuals who were caught using the speed hack have been banned from
the game and have had their accounts closed. We must stress once again that
we are opposed to hacking and cheating of any kind and are dedicated to
maintaining a fair environment in our games. This will serve as a final
warning to others who are considering using the speed hack. If you are
caught using it, you will be banned without question from World of Warcraft
and your account will be revoked.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you
suspect someone of using the speed hack, or wish to report other instances
of cheating, please email us at
hacks@blizzard.com. Thank you again for your continued support.

the same people who tried to kill the experience for us in Diablo 2 are now
trying to use their pathetic existance to yet again kill another beautiful
game...i guess i'll never understand the need for people to hack games...but
then again, they're the same ones who know they could never put in the time and
effort to achieve what the rest of us do simply out of the pure love for the
game...
Blizzard removed their accounts and i hope that everyone out there is keeping an
eye out for people who are trying to make this gaming experience anything less
than we all expect...

World of Warcraft Trial-Period Extension - Block on 12/1/04
World of Warcraft's record-setting first week brought hundreds of thousands
of players together to adventure in Azeroth. The extremely high concurrency
numbers that we've seen since the game's launch have required us to double
our total number of servers over a four-day period, which is much faster
than we had initially planned. This caused some issues with a few servers,
and some players had difficulty logging in to the game during this period.
We are determined to provide our players with the best experience possible.
It is for that reason that we are extending the one-month trial-period for
players who created accounts before or during the downtime. The length of
the trial-period extension will be based on when the player's account was
created:
Accounts created on November 23 will receive a 4-day extension
Accounts created on November 24 will receive a 3-day extension
Accounts created on November 25 will receive a 2-day extension
Accounts created on November 26 will receive a 1-day extension
Our sincere apologies go out to all who experienced service disruptions. As
always, we appreciate your patience and support, and we wish you good luck
in your adventures in Azeroth!

screw christmas/chanukah/kwanza...it's all about November
23rd ladies and gentlemen...our holiest of holy days has finally arrived...don't
know about the rest of you, but i know i'm going to be standing outside my local
EB Games store waiting for them to unlock the doors and pick up my Collector's
Edition box i preordered something along the lines of a month ago...all the
waiting has not been in vain...
all that being said and done, please keep in mind that this is a game...it's not
a substitute for reality...as addictive as these mmorpgs can be, at least make a
conscience effort to not have it screw over your school, work, or family...in
the end, games come and go, but when the questing is over, you're actually going
to have to interact with people who you can't click on or fly to another island
to avoid...be responsible and enjoy yourselves...and we'll see you in there...
is it me, or did that have a little jerry springer final thought kinda feel to
it...
