by company Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of the online role game World of Warcraft, after the renovation of game to version 1.10 blocked more than 5400 and are frozen about 10700 account records. Specifically, it was so many revealed players, who disrupted the rules of game. In all in the state today the number of registered players approaches 7 million (six-millionth threshold was passed in the beginning of March). In the list of disturbers there are cheaters, which used for gold mining and intra-recreation area artifacts home-made program modules or software from the outside developers. By the way speaking, a similar practice frequently overgrows into the commercial activity - the illegally acquired characters are sold at the online auctions for the completely real money. As it is known, company Blizzard is noted for a strict relation to the observance of play rules and to be pitiless with the disturbers. Company also forbids the resale intra-game area property and characters, assuming that this harms economic system and play process WoW.
