Linux Users Banned From WoW?

On November 17th, 2006 in Uncategorized -

World of Warcraft, the ever so popular and still growing MMORPG from Blizzard, obviously has many players. A group of them are Linux users. In a routine security check-up, hoping to find botters and other exploits, many Cedega users were banned, recieving emails being accused of “Use of Third Party Automation Software.”

While this is unconfirmed whether the technical crowd of Warcraft are even able to use these programs, it’s unlikely 100% of them are using them. It’s possible that the anti-cheat spyware bundled with the game, called Warden, views Cedega as some type of bot. There is no word from Blizzard.
