World of Warcraft: Reckful Permabanned
Reckful, one of the top PVP Arena players in the World of Warcraft, was permabanned for “account sharing” on Christmas.

Diablo 3: Ancient Items or No Ancient Items?
A controversial feature in the upcoming 2.1.2 patch is Ancient Items. Ancient Items provide approximately 30% improved stats. Currently, it’s not known which items will be seen as having the Ancient Item status outside of weapons. In addition, Ancient Items will have a very low drop rate (roughly 5-10% of legendary items dropped will have…
