Blizzard Bans Speed Hackers from WoW

Posted by Zonk on from the and-the-cycle-begins dept.

Voodoo Extreme has the world that Blizzard has already banned several accounts for Speed Hacking, a type of cheat that allows a character to move far faster than it should. From the article: "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." Adios, punks

    The lag wasn't the game going slowly, it was just everyone going faster then I was. Damn kids and their speed hacks... and makeout parties...

    That would lead to fairly humorous role-playing:
    "F4llenAng3l has entered the store. You may buy:
    A ring - 54 GP
    A Fire Arrow Quiver - 68 GP

    ...

    F4llenAng3l has selected to buy a ring. Please type the text from the image below to complete the purchase, to ensure that you are not a script."
