According to him Reliance(Nexus of Indian spies), under the pretext of 'government regulation', blocked and hacked his WoW account and sent him a hefty bill, with the account as hostage.So he outsmarted them by getting a new account. Take that reliance. But the rot seems to run deeper.It seems the Indian govt asked Blizzard to start WoW servers in India but they refused citing lack of players. This infuriated the kings of India and they began purging WoW out of the lives of their subjects. They also imposed heavy taxes on traitors who continues to pursue thier WoW oriented objectives of questing, farming, raiding and trolling ogrimmar.Because of this playing from India isnt allowed so when the ISPs (terrorist spies of the Indian kings) found out that he was involved in WoW related activities they blocked the account and demanded Blizz pay them to release his poor kidnapped tauren or gnome. They also sent him a bill or Traitor TAX which was to the amount of 50000/-.But as we all know, Blizzard does not deal with terrorists.
 
starcraft 2's T&C are that blizzard is renting you the copy of the game for personal use. They still own your copy. And personally what you are saying is squat about government of india. i know a lot of people who play official WOW and a couple of guys who play starcraft 2. maybe you should stop using torrents so much to keep your usage within limit.

I don't download many torrents.Very few in fact.

But the patches of WoW are always huge(5 gb+).Maybe that caused me to exceed the limit.But I still had an unlimited plan.

----------

I have used 4 different ISP's while playing WoW and have never faced these issues. Infact we installed WoW on Zapak computers (owned by reliance).

Playing WoW is not very strenuous on your bandwidth.

Do you play on official servers?

Yes on the official servers of course.I had to quit raiding because I used to get disconnected a lot.The connection was slow as hell,yet they CALLED me up and told me I was having heavy usage.

----------

Most of it sounds fake. Only the part about him getting hacked sounds true.

Why on earth would I come here of all places?Can anyone just make this story up?I typed it rather furiously so it may not seem properly worded.
 
there is something very wrong with your story, i have played WoW in India from aitel and bsnl with no problems, and that too on Indian servers hosted from India !! and why and how could reliance hack your WoW a/c !!!! there are still many Indian guys hosting WOW servers from India dude , as i said there something very wrong , why in god name would Indian govt ask for money for online play from any company , there would be hundreds of thousands online gamers in India !!
 
And they even tried to hoax me.They HACKED my computer,and ****ed up my OS.I had to format and re-install windows.This was the reliance master plan.They wanted 15,000 $ from me.

Just look at the address its blizzard.entertainment@live.in Its obviously fake so I didn't fall for it.

Here is the upload of the email....

I have 5-10 such mails which I received constantly bugging me to pay thousands of dollars.I contacted blizzard and they said they had no record that they sent these mails.
 
the govt wants $100M to launch WoW in India ??? !!!! seriously ?? ROFLMAO


read this.it was created by a reliance employee acting like he was blizzard.I never said the government DID in fact ask for it.I don't know the truth.Thats why I am asking here.

err I have atleast 8 friends who play wow on the US server(official blizzard server) & they have never had problems with anyone... 3 are on MTNL & rest on airtel... As another poster stated post screenshots or this never happened...PS did a google search for "world of warcraft banned in india" & only this forum thread turns up in the result... no other result related to this topic... Are u so imp that 3-4 ISP will write to u about playing WOW & not the other 100s of players??? Also a Company like Blizzard will never state in an email that the Indian Govt asked them to pay 100 mil as that is something that can get them sued... Also its kind of stupid to write something like that in an Official email... LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE :P ...

Of course I am not important.(read the email I posted it in the image)I think that I am one of the few who were targeted by reliance employees to get money from.Only reliance tried this fake email thingy...other ISP's only called me up and disconnected me when I was playing.They said I was crashing their servers:O

Maybe it's just Pune where it may be happening.

Do you any WoW or starcraft players from Pune I can ask?

I am sure that reliance hacked my computer and screwed it up.Blizzard would never do anything like that.And the government won't do this sort of thing.

Err help me understand something here... How the F do u no that it is reliance sending u these fake emails... Either u are too naive or just acting stupid coz nowhere in these "emails" can I see any reference of u having to pay the money to reliance... These emails make no reference to reliance info at all... Also why would reliance even bother hacking ur acct... Here is what I think happened... You played wow for sometime & ur acct got hacked... Imidiatly as An ignorant fool u started to blame the ISP for the hacking(like ur measly online acct is worth so much)... Now what I think u didn't even think about considering is looking into the line where as in some frnd of urs hacked into ur acct... I have played INRO (another older MMORPG) for 4 yrs and according to my exp it's almost always ur closest frnds in the game who hack ur acct... Have been hacked at least 3 times in that game... And for heavens sake stop being so naive...
