oh yeah, The WoW EMU community is well alive. Blizzard sent C&Ds to some sites, then (shock horror!) nice 'voluntary C&D' letters to others, quite a few caved in, but well...

Online games are not just addictive, it's also driven by economic factor. WOW Sweatshop in China has caused some concern in the European WOW servers. These are professional traders of virtual items.

Did you try.. using google? I searched for Private WoW Server and found this.

It certainly is happening for more than a week.Check out this thread.

Depends if Valve learned its lesson from letting people download Condition Zero over Steam to hack it into a 3rd party mod. The exploit lasted all the way from the release date into August, when Valve finally patched Steam. It'll probably still work if you can get the CZ updates elsewhere.

It looks as though this isn't the only amusing thing to come out of the diablo 2 hacking "community". diabloworld has a hack called JED (written by smoke, short for Javascript Enabled Diablo). It allows people to write scripts to perform many in game tasks. Botters have been using it since late august.

That javascript engine also inspired another project at blizzhackers called d2jsp (written by njaguar). Much more advanced, that diablo 2 hack actually accesses assembly functions and diablo 2 memory structures to do everything rather than just facking network game packets.

Sydasti has been using other peoples work in interesting ways, that's for sure, but he wasn't the one that did the ground breaking work to patch into the text drawing assembly calls. He just ported code to work with the other diablo ii hacking tools.

I don't know why this gets attention, other than its silly nature. I can't wait for MS to copy this new trend and implement MS Tetris in the next version of windows or office.
