WOW GOLD There exist private World of Warcraft servers that players can play the game in non - Blizzard ways. So, a person can connect to one of these servers and start out with super advanced weapons and armor right from the word go. There’s typically enough people on these servers to make it feel like you’re still playing an MMO. But Blizzard doesn’t take too kindly to this kind of thing, hence the lawsuit.

Scapegaming, the company that had set up and was running a private World of Warcraft server until Blizzard’s lawyers went after ‘em, now has to cough up some $88M in damages. WOW GOLD There’s no question that Scapegaming had it coming to them, but $88M? Man alive!

Scapegaming, run by one Alyson Reeves, was ordered to pay $3M to cover the loss of revenue associated with the private server’s users, and $85M in statuary damages.

But some players regard $88M is too much. To a man running a private server, $88M is harder than getting blood from a stone. WOW GOLD  And some players think Blizzard should pay Scapegaming for advertisement, because such private server do help propagandize WOW.
