Wow, although I never played retail WoW, I still followed Swifty even while playing on a private server. This was very sad for me and even though I watched the vid when he was unbanned, I almost felt like crying.

Probably reversed it because of all the hate mail blizzard was probably receiving. If it was some random getting banned for the same reason blizz would never reverse it.

ah, but some random player would never have the influence to cause the server to crash

I play wow casually, so I don't know nothin about this swifty guy, but grats to him for getting unbanned

Getting banned is probably one of the best things that can happen to addicted WoW players, good for him. So harsh from Blizzard not letting the man make a living out of exploiting their games.

And anyone saying he didn't intend to crash the servers is BS'sing, Swifty has the played the game long enough to well know what happens when you stack that many people in one location.

Lol what a stupid fucking thread.

Famous WoW players gets banned all the time, just buy a new account/character like everyone does.
Blizzard has their rules and policies to regulate.

Not really true.

The vast majority of the time they get banned for botting or something silly like abusing the arena system.

This was something different.

Yes he can just buy another account and already has many other accounts


First you have to buy the game.

Then you have to buy the first expansion.

Then you have to buy the second expansion.

Then you have to buy the third expansion.

Now you can play the game.

Or you can buy all of them from beginning to end for $80 with a free month (so its kinda like $65)

No lol, that means it's $80 the 15 dollars you save on a free month is only saving you paying for that month.

It isn't that easy. Levelling a character can take a week and gearing it can take another week, even months if one wants pvp gear --- not free PvE gear from his guild. And then there is professions which can take ~30k gold to max depending on what one chooses. Then, there are achievements, super rare mounts/pets (like the top 1% gladiator mounts). Those types of things might not seem like much, but they are memories of fun times.

Making a new toon from scratch would be like losing 8 hours of code or boring essay to a computer crash. That is one of the most frustrating and discouraging things to happen in live.

You aren't entirely wrong, but the times seem a little long. The refer-a-friend lasts to 80, so getting to 85 is like 3 days...and that was coming from a friend who isn't even a hardcore player. Honor grinding is tedious, but it is brainless...and if you want, you can get a bot.

It does suck, but gearing out and stuff isn't that hard anymore.
