Yes.

Guys, be nice. >=]

Q u o t e:


What law, federal, international, or state, do they break?

Considering that the use of private servers breaches our "End User License Agreement" — which is more in regards to the use of the software, than the use of one's account — it can incur penalties outside of the World of Warcraft account system. I am not saying that it has, or has not occurred, but it could be a possibility.

From our End User License Agreement: (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/eula.html) emphasis mine —

Q u o t e:
B. You agree that you shall not, under any circumstances,

(i) sell, grant a security interest in or transfer reproductions of the Game to other parties in any way not expressly authorized herein, nor shall you rent, lease or license the Game to others;

(ii) exploit the Game or any of its parts, including without limitation the Game Client, for any commercial purpose, including without limitation use at a cyber cafe, computer gaming center or any other location-based site without the express written consent of Blizzard;

(iii) host, provide or develop matchmaking services for the Game or intercept, emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by Blizzard in any way, including without limitation through protocol emulation, tunneling, packet sniffing, modifying or adding components to the Game, use of a utility program or any other techniques now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose, including without limitation unauthorized network play over the Internet, network play utilizing commercial or non-commercial gaming networks, or as part of content aggregation networks; or

(iv) facilitate, create or maintain any unauthorized connection to the Game or the Service, including without limitation any connection to any unauthorized server that emulates, or attempts to emulate, the Service. All connections to the Game and/or the Service, whether created by the Game Client or by other tools and utilities, may only be made through methods and means expressly approved by Blizzard. Under no circumstances may you connect, or create tools that allow you or others to connect, to the Game's proprietary interface other than those expressly provided by Blizzard for public use

I hope that clears up any possible confusion.

Q u o t e:
Its allowed if you dont use the real game i believe since your not even agreeing to the terms

This is not the case at all, to wit:

Q u o t e:
BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE GAME (DEFINED BELOW), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

I was thinking Privet Drive servers, to play World of Harry Potter on.

Q u o t e:


Nerf invisibility cloak

Polyjuice Potion requires too many mats, not efficient for raids

Q u o t e:


[removed] is wallhacking in Quidditch matches, fix it blizz.

...

:P

bliz we've been trying to raid the Whomping Willow for four hours and it keeps bugging out, fix it now

Q u o t e:
This is unacceptalbe blizz I pay $15 and I deserve equal gear to other players. Stop making raids like Chamber of Secrets and Azkaban that only 2% of players will see, and start making more casual content!

Dear Blizzard, I've been testing my [Time-Turner] trinket and it's not procced a double casting speed increase on critical hit since I put it on. Is something wrong?
