Lum’s been googling for World of Warcraft hacks again. From Gamespot, the down and dirty:
The World of Warcraft guild Overrated has been permanently banned by Blizzard Entertainment after it was caught cheating in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Guild members used an exploit that essentially knocked down walls, according to postings on World of Warcraft-related forums.
i.e. used an exploit that took advantage of client-side movement.
Well fucking duh. EVERYBODY, including my teenaged gaming neighbor Skippy, knows that WoW has too much in the client.
This is also a good reminder of a life lesson most of us learned in grade school: Two people cannot keep a secret.
And its corollary: There’s no way in Hell an entire guild can keep a secret.
