Except for the 7+ years that I have been doing mods for games I have never once had any problems from other PC users when it came to one of my mods.

Probably the least exciting thing announced so far. The mod support is nice, but meh. I’d be really amazed at a Morrowind or even Oblivion port/remaster with mod support.

Uh, you cheat in an online competitive game you do it at your own risk, if you get banned well, that’s your fault. If the ban is unfair you can appeal the decision. Also why would anyone ban people if they cheat in “offline mode”?

Spoken like someone who wasn’t actually a hardcore raider in vanilla. It was fun. It was also a goddamned nightmare.

probably are, Activision (lets face it, this kind of dick move is more up the cancerous growth that attached itself to blizzard everybody seemed to forgot about anyway) probably just targeted the most populated one first and is going down the list.

Yes, yes they have been. They also shut down StarCraft, WarCraft III, and Diablo II servers in the past - those don’t even have subscriptions.

But you are still complaining about something that is well within their rights to do. It’s their property. They have no reason to allow it.

I assume this is because of Nostolruis?

You don’t seem to understand how IP law works or how Blizzard allowing that server to exist, knowingly, can cause them to lose control of their own property.

Oh how dare Blizzard shut down a server that blatantly violated their terms and services and basically constituted as stealing a service from them.

Yeah, that is stupid justification. A few players had their IP violating server shut down for completely legal and justified reasons so these “hackers” are punishing all players. I put “hackers” in quotes because hiring a botnet is not hacking, even creating one by fooling non-computer saavy people to install malware…

I’ll never understand DDOS attacks. They never actually cause any lasting effect and the only people really hurt are the average consumer, not the company itself.

So the solution is to ruin the games for everyone else?
