World Of Warcraft Exploit Wiped Out Entire Cities
Some World of Warcraft players logged in yesterday only to find entire cities were completely wiped out. Hackers reportedly discovered an exploit that instantly killed characters.
Stormwind and Orgrimmar across several servers were reportedly hurt the most. Blizzard was quick to respond and already issued a fix. You can read the company's response below. Also below is a YouTube video of the destruction as it was happening.
Earlier today, certain realms were affected by an in-game exploit, resulting in the deaths of player characters and non-player characters in some of the major cities. This exploit has already been hotfixed, so it should not be repeatable. It's safe to continue playing and adventuring in major cities and elsewhere in Azeroth.
As with any exploit, we are taking this disruptive action very seriously and conducting a thorough investigation. If you have information relating to this incident, please email hacks@blizzard.com. We apologize for the inconvenience some of you experienced as a result of this and appreciate your understanding.
