By the way, don’t accumulate too much wealth in World of Warcraft. Either SPEND! SPEND! SPEND! or give to the poor — may I suggest aiding the Ironforge war orphans?
The Blizzard Collective is temporarily locking accounts for “having excessively large amounts of in-game currency”.
Incredible.

I don’t quite know what to make of this.
The Blizzard Collective smote a batch of accounts for using a third-party hack for teleportation. Clearly, a no no. Quoting minion Ordinn, dated 3/1/05:
Over the past few weeks, we have seen an increase in the number of players using third party teleportation hacks. These hacks allowed players to instantly teleport their characters to any location in the world. This exploit is a clear violation of our Terms of Use and End User License agreements, and those accounts using it have been permanently banned from World of Warcraft.
Then, there’s a few player posts claiming that they were unjustly banned in this latest hacker sting. Nothing new there. Every time there’s a hacker sting, we always see at least a couple of players who maintain their innocence — usually they are guilty, but sometimes they are not (post #312 in that link).
I don’t know who’s lying or who’s mistaken … but this thing is gathering steam.
