Warcraft player threatens suicide in response to ban

November 26, 2006

When I first heard of this, my first thought was “How sad — yet another totally addicted player.” But then I read the emails, and as it turns out Blizzard only banned this guy from the online game for 72 hours (initially). After failing to bribe the online customer service agents for $3000 to reinstate his account, the player then threatened suicide. Check out Blizzard’s response (which I think is pretty sad that they have more or less a “canned” response to someone threatening personal injury) and see what happens after that…pretty hilarious! See the forum thread here (or here if that first link doesn’t work).
