World of Warcraft Accounts Closed - 6/9/06

World of Warcraft Accounts Closed - 6/9/06
In keeping with Blizzard's aggressive stance against cheating in World
of Warcraft, we banned over 30,000 accounts in the month of May, and
with that removed well over 30 million gold from the economy across all
realms. The banned accounts were taking part in activities that violate
the game's Terms of Use, including using third-party programs to farm
gold and items, which severely impacts the economy of a realm and the
overall game enjoyment for all players.

We will continue to aggressively monitor all World of Warcraft realms
in order to protect the service and its players from the harmful
effects of cheating. Please note that selling World of Warcraft
content, such as gold, items, and characters, can result in a permanent
ban of the involved accounts from World of Warcraft.

Many account closures come as the direct result of tips reported to our
GMs in game or emailed to our Hacks Team by legitimate World of
Warcraft players. If you suspect that a World of Warcraft player is
using an illegal third-party program to farm gold or items, or is
otherwise violating our Terms of Use, please report the suspected
infraction via one of the means listed above. All reports will be
investigated, and those that prove false will not result in corrective
action.

Thank you for your continued support, and good luck with your
adventures in Azeroth!
