Date posted: 05/06/2007 Blizzard, makers of World of Warcraft, is claiming to have sent in its legal eagles to stop in-world farming and unsolicited in-world spam from taking place. A Blizzard staffer, who goes by the username Eyonix, commented, "Blizzard has filed a federal lawsuit against the operators of Peons4hire, a popular gold-selling organisation which many of you have no doubt seen advertised. As part of the lawsuit, the operators of Peons4hire have been asked to immediately cease all in-game spamming efforts by all entities and websites under their control." The statement added that if the group Peons4Hire continues to spam other users, further legal action will be taken. Blizzard recently added a content patch to the popular World of Warcraft game that contained "technical counter measures" aimed at putting a stop to in-game spam from gold-farming organisations and individuals. In China and other Asian countries, the virtual farming trade is big business, and a number of companies exist that run gold-farming sweatshops as a professional business.
