How to get free and illegal access to World of Warcraft

Whenever a new MMORPG comes out some enterprising hackers manage to figure out how reverse engineer the hosting server and then play the MMORPG on their own "private" servers. And with a game as popular as World of Warcraft it would only be a matter of time before private WOW servers appeared on the Net.

Now I don't approve of this activity in any way whatsoever and I'm sure Blizzard will sue these places out of existence. However, for those of you interested in "researching" this interesting and little known aspect of MMORPGs you can view a list of private WOW servers at wowstatus.net. Most of these servers aren't in English, and I'm sure most of them don't work, and you might get sued if you use them, but if you REALLY don't want to pay $14.95 a month you might be interested. Just remember, you get what you pay for!
