World of Warcraft Duping Bug Found 537
Over the course of this morning several people have sent me tidbits talking about an exploit on WoW that allows duping of items. Apparently forum posts are being removed on official channels, but there are a few places where you can learn about the exploit and see
screenshot evidence. In equally exciting news, my Rogue on Azjol-nerub is probably 2 hours away from 60 and since Blizzard will undoubtedly fix this bug soon, I'll have to finance my epic mount the old fashioned way!

I mean, if you're just going to do an exploit to get your gold what's the difference? Hell, just buy an account with a couple of level 60 characters.

Like press the following in a sequence X Y A B 4 3 5 3 2 8 7 and then press all these together (probably with the help of your friend) Alt+Ctrl+Esc+Insert+Delete+F5
Then you will see you have unlocked all your levels but have crashed windows.

I know the guy meant "rubberbanded", but it's still a great word.
rubberbanned v. To be repeatedly banned from and attempt to return to a server or IRC channel.

It would have to be something like this:
DELETE FROM usertable WHERE username LIKE "Gu%en";

I wonder if it was a glitch in the database, a humorous admin, or just the usual dupe getting caught.

I'd be interested in your numerous publications about how to "program proper code" and/or make a MMORPG bug-free from day one. Actually, a book on how to make a bug-free software, whatever the software would do. But I doubt anyone would risk writing one.

Nobody's posting because BoingBoing ran a bit about a WoW nude mod.
This should reeally test the servers.
