To be clear, I personally thought this was a funny post and a funny trick. But, it is a dangerous thing to do. In this case the people who used the hack and actually crashed their realms have caused Blizzard to loose money (not that I don't like that). Blizzard will have to issue free days to the people on the servers who were effected. That means those are days Blizzard didn't get paid.

"So what" you might ask? Well the problem with actually costing Blizzard money is that your account with Blizzard is a contract, a legaly binding contract. When you intentionally breach the contract by using your normal exploit, you may screw the game up but you don't cost Blizzard actual cash, so they are happy to just ban you. But when you intentionally breach the contract and cost Blizzard money you are setting yourself up for a potential lawsuit from Blizzard IRL. It could end up costing you real money.

If you add up the amount of money Blizzard will have lost by having to issue free game days because of this hack, it will probably add up to a very large amount. That large amount may very be big enough for them to justify the legal fees to go after the people responsible. Which perhaps could even include this beloved site?

There is a big difference between figuring out how to find God Mode and crashing servers, just be sure you are willing to take the risks before you decide to do either.

Blizzard only issues free days as compensation for EXTENDED periods of downtime

Im not sure why this is so exciting. I find it annoying. Its a waste of my 15$ a month to have a bunch of Idiots crashing my server. I hope some one Crashes Your server for posting this. Over and over and over

[dtxspec]

just did it and worked still. nice

[pipboy]

Well...
My server just reset. I dunno if it was a fix or anything...
I'm not going to test this. I don't want to test this, and IMO anyone who does this is an absolute selfish prick. Go ruin your own life. I was halfway through Shadow Labs when this happened, damn adds respawned... thank god by that time I had got the rep I needed for my key. We also had the worst tank ever, which didn't help. I re-connected and left swiftly.
