Mass Extinction Hack Hits World of Warcraft

Quote:Speaking to the BBC, Olivia Grace from WoW Insider said "we don't know exactly what they did, but somehow they were able to kill every single player's character in that city and every single computer controlled character - and they were doing this repeatedly." Apparently hackers were able to attack the game in a similar manner before, but never at this scale. Players reported seeing virtual skeletons and corpses lining the streets of the affected cities on Sunday. The scene was evocative of the Corrupted Blood incident which took place in 2005, except that the more recent mass extinction was much deadlier and not based on a programming glitch but rather a malicious attack.

That's right, someone managed to get a hold of the sword.

All jokes aside, are any of you guys surprised this happened?

My favorite part of this is thinking about all the complaints from lifeless WOW nerds.

This is downright hilarious. Whoever did this must have been pretty smart. I don't think WoW has been hacked in a long time.

Its almost like that runescape thing where a high level got glitched and could attack people outside of the wildy or whatever. Just going around owning people.

I wasn't referring to all WoW players, sorry if I offended you. What I was talking about are the kinds of nerds who play WoW all day in their mother's basement.
