youtube.com — World of Warcraft has banned ads for "gold farmers" who sell virtual gold and artifacts for real money. The farmers have retailiated by slaying gnomes and arranging them on the ground to spell out the URLs of their gold-farms. Check out the video of it, complete with Benny Hill music

That 'Benny Hill" song is actually called Yakkety Sax!

I played for about 3 weeks on Dracula's Mangos server (<a class="user" href="http://www.draculas.ro/mangosbc/index.php)">http://www.draculas.ro/mangosbc/index.php)</a> which gives 10x exp and 10x gold drops plus more lewt drops. It's very stable, totally free, and the people are nice. The only reason I quit was because even at 10x exp WoW is incredibly slow and pointless.Go buy the box or one of those $1.99 trial discs from your local software store so that Blizzard gets their cut and go play on a third party server. Everybody wins, right? Why should Blizzard charge for the box when it's worthless on its own?

This is industry news? And wouldn't a picture have been better than a video that never shows the whole thing?

I can't believe digg was a day late behind boing boing on this one. Sad.

I saw this a week or so ago on Agamaggan when I was doing some AH checking in Ironforge. Took some screens, it was pretty entertaining to see everyone freaking out :P
