Markee Dragon taken offline, MMOwned moving

We've received an interesting report on the WoW Insider Tip Line today. Two large World of Warcraft hacking and account trading websites, Markee Dragon and MMOwned, are offline. Article Update: According to MMOwned, they are moving servers, which is the reason their site is offline for some.
Attempts to reach the sites prove unsuccessful.
This is a good thing for everyone that wants to have a more legitimate gameplay experience in WoW, as both of these sites actively encouraged people to exploit bugs, break the ToS, and do all other sorts of tom-foolery that destroyed the game for legitimate players.
Our tipster mentioned that these sites were taken down in part by action taken by Blizzard, however we don't have any proof of that.
I've selected the angry baby picture for this article, since that's how the exploiters and account traders are feeling right now. Buh-bye.

Well I can't? Tried with Mozilla and Opera, having same error on both.. What browser are you using?
Adam Holisky Feb 8th 2009 4:34PM
You can?
Everyone that's looked into this on our end cannot.
Adam Holisky Feb 8th 2009 4:43PM
Huh. Thanks for the SS. I updated the article to reflect it.
I can definitely say that when I wrote this three hours ago it was down with the 4 or 5 people I checked with.
Ed (Sindarin, Hydraxis US) Feb 8th 2009 4:43PM
Yep, I can still get onto it fine - I'm in the UK if that could possibly make any difference, and using Firefox 3.1.

Damn you! I'm starting to want Angry Baby merchandise!
Hoggersbud Feb 8th 2009 4:29PM
Hmm, I could check and see if they work, but then I'd have to worry about being hacked...

Oh, so instead of just reporting news, you're using your writter statue to encourage people to choose a side?
Adam Holisky Feb 8th 2009 4:42PM
You bet.
If you want to cheat and exploit this game, I'm encouraging everyone to take sides against you.
I don't write here in a vacuum of opinions.
Ametrine Feb 8th 2009 4:42PM
Dumbass, dumbass, dumbass.
I have no words other than that to apply to you, if you think of someone speaking out against sites that encouraged exploits and hacking as "choosing sides".

Nice one Adam. Glad you have a backbone. Most bloggers/writers I've come across would've dodged that post. +1
