Entire Cities In World of Warcraft Dead, Hack Suspected

Posted by timothy on Sunday October 7, 2012 @09:40AM from the just-some-reamde-plotlines-nothing-to-worry-about dept.

hypnosec writes "Entire cities in the World of Warcraft have been destroyed with no one spared, not even the NPCs. About 13:00 GMT, forums on WOW started getting the first comments from users regarding players and NPCs dying on the Ragnaros-EU realm in Orgrimmar. Users of the online game started reporting that Draenor had a similar sight to offer. Some of the other realms where this was reported include Tarren Mill, and Twisting Nether." Also at Joystiq, and (with more screenshots) at WCCF Tech, which reports that "it appears the damage is most severe in World of Warcraft European servers."

A four digit Slashdot poster is probably quite the catch.

I went outside today. Yes, the real, actual outside.
The graphics were amazing.
Storyline sucked, though.
