Blizard Sues Virtual Gold Seller

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the long-time-coming dept.

DaphneDiane writes "Blizzard announced that they are suing one of the heavily spamming gold sellers, Peons4hire. Peons4hire had recently been spamming players in World of Warcraft with multi-line messages advertising their power leveling and gold selling business. With the advent of the recently released 2.1.0 patch Blizzard made it easier to report and block these spammers. I've noticed a large decrease in spam while playing since the patch. It used to be that I would get nearly a dozen spams a night but I barely have seen any since."

    I was reading the actual forum post on this.

    Blizzard posters are often called "Blue" because their text/name/posts are blue colored.

    So, a person said "AWESOME! What are the charges?"

    Blue: silence.

    Does Blizzard have any real legal recourse here?

    There are two "z"'s in Blizzard.
