Well, Blizzard finally made a stand against all the 'duped' and hacked items on Battle.net.
Those among us that play Diablo 2 know that the realms were infested with hacked and duped items. Those items, aswell as the various bots were a real curse for any player trying to to play his game as legit as possible.
Blizzard banned about 200.000 accounts already. sadly enough this didnt stop the bot users at all. I mean, if you lose items that took no real effort to find, whats the problem really....
Now, Blizzard has announced a "Rust Storm":
<i> From the Cold Plains to the Highlands of Harrogath, Sanctuary shall soon be swept by a zephyr of cleansing magic -- the prophesied "Rust Storm."
For too long, legitimate players have suffered the injustice of illegitimate players who use tainted items from otherworldly dimensions. All that’s been taken for granted is about to change in the Realms of Battle! Those freed from the corrupting powers of the tainted items shall feel the sting of loss...for the Rust Storm knows no mercy, and no one is sheltered from its fury</i>
For more information, aswell as a nifty animation of how exactly a 'Rust Storm' looks you can visit the Blizzard site <a href="www.blizzard.com"> here. </a>
And while you are <a href="www.blizzard.com"> there</a> you might aswell get a good look at Blizzards MMORPG "World Of Warcraft". The game is comming along quite well and is 'almost' ready for the first public Beta testing. This is one game I have very high expectencies from so I'll be monitoring it closely to give you all more info as it gets available!
