Don’t Take Gold From Strangers

Posted by Stropp on December 9, 2006

Just a little warning for everyone.

There’s a post over on the forums at WorldofWar.net about the effects of a gold duping bug on one of the servers. It appears that players have been going around giving away ridiculous amounts of gold to all and sundry. This has devastated the economy on the server.

Blizzard have responded by banning, at least temporarily, anyone that has accepted such a donation, and are investigating their account. There is some indication, that accounts with more than five thousand gold are being banned, regardless of how they got the gold, and players are logging back in after being reactivated to find their gold gone.

This has all been happening on the Mannoroth server, but there is no reason to believe that this activity is confined there.

So what ever you do, don’t accept large sums of gold from players you don’t know.
