AndWarcraft 3 Map Hack - Dutch
A certain Warcraft III map hack that surfaced several days ago will be countered by a patch Blizzard is currently working on. Blizzard is furious and is dedicated to keep with their aggressive stance against hacking or cheating of any kind:"[we] will ban the CD key of anyone caught using this hack in Warcraft III. Furthermore, we will continue to randomly monitor games connected through Battle.net to ensure fair play.
The developer asks Warcraft III players to save their replay if they suspect someone has cheated when playing against them. If you have played a game against someone you suspect of having cheated, you can file a complaint at hacks@blizzard.com (be sure to attach your saved replay file). Also, they kindly ask you to notify that address f you have any information on persons or Web sites found to be distributing any type of hack or cheat program affecting any Blizzard game.
Blizzard sincerely appeals "to anyone considering using a map hack program, [we] take no pleasure in banning the CD keys and preventing play over Battle.net of people who have legitimately purchased a copy of one or more of our games." Read the entire communique here, before hopping over to PlanetWarcraft for more news on this issue as it becomes available.
