Blizzard Issues Cease and Desist Against WoW Private Server for Using ‘Mankrik’s Wife’ as Currency

In a shocking move, Blizzard has sent a legal notice to a popular WoW private server for their use of ‘Mankrik’s Wife’ as a form of in-game currency.

The private server, known for its quirky and irreverent sense of humor, introduced ‘Mankrik’s Wife’ as a joke currency to poke fun at one of WoW’s most infamous quests. Players could earn ‘Mankrik’s Wife’ by completing difficult tasks or trading with other players. However, Blizzard did not find the humor in the situation.

In the cease and desist letter, Blizzard stated that the use of copyrighted material, such as ‘Mankrik’s Wife,’ was a violation of their intellectual property rights. They demanded that the private server immediately cease all use of the joke currency or face legal action.

The WoW private server community has been divided on the issue, with some players supporting Blizzard’s decision to protect their IP, while others see it as an overreach of power. Many are now calling for a boycott of Blizzard’s official servers in solidarity with the private server.

Despite the controversy, the private server in question has complied with Blizzard’s demands and removed ‘Mankrik’s Wife’ from their game. Players will now have to find a new, less copyrighted form of currency to trade with.

As this drama unfolds, one thing is clear: the WoW private server scene is a wild and unpredictable place, where even the smallest joke can lead to legal action.
