Default Blizzard Sues Private Server Company, Awarded $88M

Taken from Slashdot:

Quote:
A private server company, Scapegaming (aka Alyson Reeves), was ordered to pay Blizzard Entertainment over $88 million in damages after losing a lawsuit that was concluded last week. Scapegaming was operating unauthorized World of Warcraft servers and using a micropayment system to collect money from the servers' user base, which according to the lawsuit amounted to just over $3 million. $85 million of that settlement was for statutory damages, and surprisingly only $63,000 in attorney's fees.

Here's a link to the summary of the lawsuit:

He probably would've walked away with a severe warning if he didn't have a cash shop.

Bad Scapegaming, bad!

So the same as every single other private server then?

Actually there used to be a 24/7 Alterac Valley PVP server, all you did was PvP and get rewards from kills that bought your EQ. I had more fun on that than I've had on legit WoW servers, my boomkin rocked face.
