Blizzard Issues Cease and Desist to Player for Naming Their Character ‘LichKing420’

In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard’s legal team has set their sights on a player for their controversial character name.

World of Warcraft player and self-proclaimed ‘edgelord’ LichKing420 found themselves in hot water this week after receiving a cease and desist letter from Blizzard Entertainment. The company cited trademark infringement and copyright violation as the reasons behind the legal action, claiming that the name ‘LichKing420’ was too similar to their own intellectual property.

This move has sparked outrage among the player base, with many questioning Blizzard’s priorities when it comes to enforcing their legal rights. Some have pointed out the irony of a company cracking down on a harmless character name while turning a blind eye to more pressing issues within the game, such as rampant botting and gold farming.

In response to the backlash, Blizzard issued a statement defending their actions, stating, ‘We take the protection of our intellectual property very seriously, and any infringement will be met with swift legal action.’ They also encouraged players to report any names or guilds that they believe may be in violation of their copyrights.

As the community continues to debate the merits of Blizzard’s legal crusade, one thing is clear: in the world of Azeroth, even the most seemingly innocuous actions can have serious consequences. So, before you hit that ‘Create Character’ button, think twice about the name you choose. You never know who might be watching.
