World of Warcraft Lawsuit: No Bots Allowed!

By Joseph Hunkins at March 27, 2008 0 Comments

In an ironic virtual world twist the makers of one of the world’s most popular and lucrative massively multiplayer games, World of Warcraft, are suing a programmer for creating a “bot” that automates many game playing skills.

Issues like this will become more common as more time and money flow into the virtual world, and it is not clear how courts will interpret old ’static media’ rules within the context of the many supercharged, dynamic, and very financially lucrative online environments.
