Blizzard Cracks Down on World of Warcraft Ebaying

Posted by Zonk on Monday December 13, 2004 @07:56AM from the other-developers-could-take-a-page-from-their-book dept.

Last Friday Blizzard put up a message on the World of Warcraft site stating that Ebaying of in-game items would not be tolerated. This is the first time a MMOG developer has come out of the gate with so strong a policy, and combined with their tough policy on hacking is a heartening sign that community infractions will be taken seriously. TerraNova has commentary on the development as well. From the article: "If they do [succeed], we might have to start thinking of World of Warcraft as the first of a new generation of virtual worlds. It may not seem all that different in terms of some design aspects, but if its war against eBayers succeeds, it will end up being very different in terms of atmosphere."

"And before you use the old fart argument, my guild leader is 55 years old."

Is he in a guild called [N4mBL4] by any chance?

Has he ever tried to get you to reach into his cloak and grab his "Rod of Righteousness"?

It may be time to find a new guild dude..
