Blizzard Bans 59,000 World Of Warcraft Accounts

World OF WarcraftBlizzard has taken measures to get cheaters and gold farmers permanently out of World of Warcraft. This time, approximately 59,000 accounts were banned during the month of June, relieving WoW's economy of 22 million gold.
 
The 59,000 accounts were banned due to violation of Blizzard's Terms Of Use. This primarily includes the use of third-party programs to mine gold and items. The Blizzard poster said, "We will continue to aggressively monitor all World of Warcraft realms in order to protect the service and our players from the harmful effects of cheating".

Merciless actions like this one are supposed to intimidate everyone who have plans of cheating. Blizzard's bans always stir up the fan community. Of course, again lots of people, trying to get their account reactivated, will plead innocent. Is there anyone who's actually right? We may never know. Instead, we watch World Of Warcraft growing and growing. 59,000 may seem like much, but compared to the 6 million total subscriptions...

The game's first expansion pack, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will be released at the end of the year, perhaps attracting even more players to the unstoppable MMORPG. And more cheaters. Looking at Blizzard's recent ban-fests, they won't last long.
