Blizzard Legal Team Suffers Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from Cease and Desist Frenzy
World of Warcraft private server community reeling as Blizzard’s legal department goes into overdrive.
Recent weeks have seen a surge in cease and desist letters flying out of Blizzard headquarters like arcane missiles in a battleground. The legal team, known for their lightning-fast response time when it comes to shutting down unauthorized private servers, has reportedly been working overtime to protect the sanctity of the official WoW experience.
In a statement released by Blizzard, a spokesperson assured the community that they were simply doing their best to uphold the integrity of the game. ‘We understand that players may be disappointed when their favorite private server gets shut down, but we have to protect our intellectual property. It’s not personal, it’s just business,’ the spokesperson said, while clutching a stack of cease and desist orders like a deck of Hearthstone cards.
Meanwhile, private server administrators have been left scrambling to find new hosting solutions and come up with creative ways to avoid the long arm of Blizzard’s legal team. Some have resorted to operating under the cover of darkness, using fake names and encrypted communication channels to stay one step ahead of the cease and desist onslaught.
As the private server scene continues to be rocked by shutdowns and legal threats, players are left wondering if there will ever be a peaceful resolution to the ongoing battle between Blizzard and the private server community. In the meantime, one thing is certain: the legal team at Blizzard shows no signs of slowing down their cease and desist crusade.
