Sorry to say, I don't really care what happens on WoW. These are the EQ forums for a reason.

I read this as WoW has let the hackers run loose forever. EQ would never need this kind of banning since it was never a free-for-all like WoW.

people are going to kill me for saying this in an EQ forum, but WoW is much much harsher on hackers and most other EULA violations than EQ is, and always has been.
edit: what a waste of 3800...

Yes, they are. They also tend to have a ban first, verify later, type of policy in certain cases.

You have no clue what your talking about.
EQ used to scan their servers once in a great while for anomalies and ban in waves as needed. Povar had a higher end raiding guild that had been known for hacking for over a year, one day almost the entire guild was banned.
Also, when your looking at ten million+ accounts vs. a few hundred thousand, the amount of people violating the rules is going to be much higher. The 365,000 bans effect roughly 3-4% of WoWs subscribers.

Not a problem you see much of in EQ.

Actually, depressingly, we do. Though sony's gotten better at banning them quickly lately.

I'd be willing to bet that most of those accounts where "trial" accounts used to spam gold selling sites in major cities, which aren't subscribed anyway.

Which ones, the 10,000,000 or the 365,000?
The 10,000,000 are all active accounts.

World of Warcraft subscribers include individuals who have paid a subscription fee or have an active prepaid card to play World of Warcraft, as well as those who have purchased the game and are within their free month of access. Internet Game Room players who have accessed the game over the last thirty days are also counted as subscribers. The above definition excludes all players under free promotional subscriptions, expired or cancelled subscriptions, and expired prepaid cards. Subscribers in licensees' territories are defined along the same rules.
The 365,000 bans consist of people exploiting the arena point system, botters, hackers, gold buyers, gold sellers and many more legit accounts. Rumor has it that they were doing blanket bans this time around based on billing information. If you have 5 accounts in your name but only 1 was caught cheating, they banned all 5. No confirmation on the blanket bans though.
