‘World of Warcraft’ a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that is accessed by many people around the world, and some decide to go against the rules and regulations created by the owners of ‘World of Warcraft’ – by using ‘hacks and cheats’ to enhance their game play. As I’m sure the majority are aware of programmes that can create keystrokes on your keyboard, allowing you to sit back, relax while letting the ‘bot’ do it’s work. Blizzard Entertainment have decided it is in the companies best interest that the major ‘bot’ that players use and it’s owners should be taken to court.
The owner of ‘MMO Glider’ which is the ‘bot’ that Blizzard wish to take out, appeared in court in front of many people last week, with lots of defendants, cases for and against the ‘MMO Glider’ – Blizzard Entertainment wanted to sort this major problematic use of hacks and robots playing their game, against all of the rules and regulations created. The hack and the robot itself only go against the gaming rules as it is not the actual player using it’s character and earning it’s money fair and square. A human simply can not play 24 hrs without sleep, whereas a robot can.
Blizzard Entertainment are earning money out of this, as the company does ban accounts if caught, and they simply create another one anyway? What’s the use of even trying to stop it? Well… Blizzard Entertainments have a blocker/hacker themselves, called ‘Warden Security’ which searches their customers computers of use of hacks or robots on patch days, or for maintenance.
If caught, the player is banned completely from logging on from that account. MMO Glider does not want to stop sales, or updating the bots itself because they are making rather nice money out of it, obviously. I believe that Blizzard Entertainment are upset at the matter because they think they are loosing money from it, but they aren’t! I simply do not understand their logic on the matter to be honest.
The mmorpg earns millions of money per month and each year, with over 11 million online players, playing the game simultaneously. Is it really against the rules? The customers are paying for the game they love, but the real logic is – why pay for the game, if you’re not going to actually play it yourself? What satisfaction do these players get? – Real life money, players use online databases such as eBay to sell their in game money for real life money.
Blizzard Entertainment create rules and regulations because it simply enhances their game and it’s uses, but the only thing is – Rules are made to be broken, it’s common sense really. They create rules, players break them, they ban them, players create new accounts, they do exactly the same again?! It’s stupid… I simply believe, it’s the players decision, let them do it… they earn money, Blizzard earns money, MMO Glider earns money, why not.
