WoW: The Instance Podcast Covers WotLK Leaks

Episode 107 of The Instance is out and the guys cover this past week's rash of leaks about Wrath of the Lich King:

A flood of leaked information about the Wrath Of The Lich King expansion, taken directly from the alpha testing client for the forthcoming 2nd expansion to World of Warcraft, exploded across the Internet this week. Everything from notes about classes and talents to previously unreleased Death Knight info to imagery from the game to the actual music that alpha testers are experiencing is available for perusal on site after site after mirror site.

In a thread on the World Of Warcraft forums, Blizzard Community Manager Nathaera wrote: "Re- Posting Unreleased Content / Hacking Data Files. This category includes language and/or links to websites containing such language or images which:

  • Show unreleased in-game items, equipment, or areas that have been unlocked by hacking into client data files
  • Show the results of hacking or any tampering of the game's MPQ files
  • Discuss, or display any data not available through normal game play

If a player is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will be permanently banned from the World of Warcraft forums"

Apparently some folks don't understand NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS. DOH!
