Bingo banned in World of Warcraft

PC News | World of Warcraft

The gamers behind the fundraiser would provide bingo cards to players for 20 silver coins for the chance to ... » Read More

WoW: Band of gold

PC News | World of Warcraft

Blizzard Entertainment has exiled over a thousand players from its MMORPG World of Warcraft following an investigation into what it calls 'gold farming'.

WoW takes a gamble on bans

PC News | World of Warcraft

Stuff Jean Rousseau, Karl Marx and Stevie Wonder. Forget all those philosophers and idealists who dream of societies 'living together in perfect harmony'.

The problem was that 'casino' ... » Read More
