   In the hope that you had a jolly good Christmas and will have a matching New Year, we return with a few more playful news in these last few days of 2006. As usual, in this period, the big MMOs are competing to offer their players the most exciting in-game events possible, like the ones currently taking place in titles such as World of Warcraft or Guild Wars. However these are not the ones we'll be talking about here, but a whole 'nother kind of presents given by some developers.

   Blizzard continued their cleansing in the World of Warcraft, and from what they communicated on the game's website, over 105,000 accounts have been excommunicated during the month of November. As a result, Azeroth's virtual economy from Europe, America and Korea was dealt a critical blow worth of over 12 million Gold! The reasons that led to the bannings were the same ones as in previous months:
"The closed accounts were associated with activities that violate World of Warcraft's Terms of Use, such as using third-party programs that allow cheating, and farming gold and items. (...) Please note that selling World of Warcraft content, such as gold, items, and characters, can result in a permanent ban of the involved accounts from World of Warcraft."    A similar "gift" was handed to the cheaters from Final Fantasy XI. Square Enix announced a few days ago on the PlayOnline website that they closed over 7700 accounts, from which some 250 were "temporarily suspended indefinitely" - while the other 7450 have been permanently terminated. The riches confiscated from the world of Vana'diel make up for over 6.2 billion Gil!

   If you're also living in such a virtual world, don't shy away from reporting the bastards who are interfering with our perfectly honest "farming" activities.
