Soon They’ll Be Asking for Blood … Oh Wait, They Are …

Online gaming bans are not uncommon, especially in gaming-crazy Asia. But what if you could get back “in the game” after a ban? Would you give blood to do it?

An online game operator has demanded that banned players donate blood to be allowed back into the game. Moliyo, which runs a 3D massively multiplayer online game in China, made the demand after banning 120,000 players who attempted to hack the game.

More than 100 players had already signed up to exchange half a litre (1 pint) of blood for game accounts. The company has also offered free accounts to ordinary players who give blood. Source: Weird Asia News

We Say: Interesting that they will give free accounts to regular players if they give blood. It doesn’t say, however, how long the accounts are free. Forever? Just the initial account? Or what? There’s a limit to what I’ll do for gaming … besides, I’ve given blood before … just to give it, for no other reason.
