Hacker Takes On World of Warcraft

October 7, 2012 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

A hacker was able to clear out whole cities by running around with level 1 characters and killing all NPC’s and players within Stormwind and Orgrimmar over and over again, making the game virtually un-playble. European servers were hit first then US servers were hit shortly after. There are some videos that document what was happening. Blizzard community manager Nethaera posted the following statement about the issue and it being fully addressed.

“Earlier today, certain realms were affected by an in-game exploit, resulting in the deaths of player characters and non-player characters in some of the major cities. This exploit has already been hotfixed, so it should not be repeatable. It’s safe to continue playing and adventuring in major cities and elsewhere in Azeroth.”

“As with any exploit, we are taking this disruptive action very seriously and conducting a thorough investigation. If you have information relating to this incident, please email hacks@blizzard.com. We apologize for the inconvenience some of you experienced as a result of this and appreciate your understanding.”

World Of Warcraft Screenshots Contain User Info

September 11, 2012 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

When you want to take a screenshot in World of Warcraft you can press the print screen button. However, players are starting to complain that the game is placing watermarks on their screenshots that contain User ID’s, timestamps, and server IP addresses. The watermarks may have been there since 2008.

World Of Warcraft Logo

PCGamer believes that the watermarks were in place so Blizzard could track down players who are using private servers and breaking the terms of service.

So what’s the big deal? Well, basically this information could be used to track other players down allowing someone to stalk you or try to get you tangled up in a phishing scam.

So what can you do? You can remove the watermark by changing your screenshot quality to the highest setting. You can change your screenshots to this setting by typing: /console SET screenshotQuality “10″.

Blizzard has not officially replied to any questions about the watermarks but I imagine they will have to address the issue sooner or later.
