Quote:If a player is found to have modified a UI so that they gain an unfair advantage in the game over others

:wacko:

That's very... Well-defined.

And here is the "World of WarCraft" TOU Agreement:

https://signup.worldofwarcraft.com/agreement.html

Finally, they forbid the Sales of Items in the "Real World" in their TOU Agreement:
Quote:7. Selling of Items.

Remember, at the outset of these Terms of Use, where we discussed how you were "licensed" the right to use World of Warcraft, and that your license was "limited"? Well, here is one of the more important areas where these license limitations come into effect. Note that Blizzard Entertainment either owns, or has exclusively licensed, all of the content which appears in World of Warcraft. Therefore, no one has the right to "sell" Blizzard Entertainment's content, except Blizzard Entertainment! So Blizzard Entertainment does not recognize any property claims outside of World of Warcraft or the purported "sale" in the "real world" of anything related to World of Warcraft. Accordingly, you may not sell items for "real" money or trade items for things of value outside of World of Warcraft.
I hope that they actually watch eBay after WOW has gone online.

That shops risks a lot :)

This one looks suspicious:

What do you mean and how?

I'm referring of the army of Vivendi lawyers ;) I'm sure they won't hesitate to sue people if they violate the TOU of WOW, because in WOW, customer satisfaction - who pay $15/month as fee, will depend a lot more on an uncorrupted game economy and an enjoyable gaming experience (unlike in Diablo II, which was more or less free to play).

You wish. -_- Blizzard has learned their lesson, that people can fill their boards with whine and profanity, and yet they're still the most popular game in town at the end of the day.


Even SOE couldn't win this fight, so I don't think Blizz will be much better off. Sure they'll nail a few sites, but it won't stop, the drive for money will in many cases overcome any fears of random enforcement.

He was refering to the SHOP, not people buying or selling there. Besides, what would the lawyers be fore? They would simply remove access to the servers for those players.

I'm sure the DMCA is broad enough to justify that one. :rolleyes:
